Long overdue for DVD release


I know there are some "grey market" releases of this, but it would be nice to see an "official" DVD put out. There are several companies who released Fleischer's GULLIVER'S TRAVELS to DVD (the version released under the now-defunct Cartoon Crazys banner has some incredible extras), yet HOPPTIY seems sadly overlooked and underappreciated.

Paramount Pictures would be the ones to do an "official" DVD, since they have the master materials. However, restoring the original titles could be difficult, since most prints that I have seen have NTA titles.

Very true, though when I saw it for the first and sadly only time it was on UK Television. That's where I fell in love with it. I know that some of my colleagues at Disney would probably get quite upset with me for saying this, but if I were faced with a choice of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Hoppity, there would be no comparison, Hoppity would win every time!
