Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMuch of this movie's financial failure is blamed on the fact that it was released on 5 December 1941, only two days before Pearl Harbor was bombed.
- GoofsWhen the sprinkler is going off, a bug in a blue dress disappears right before the scene ends.
- Quotes
Hoppity: I told you we belong here in the garden. The lady human said so. You heard her.
Mr. Bumble: Gosh! And she knew my name.
- Alternate versionsReleased to TV as "Hoppity Goes to Town" by NTA, with copyright date and one minute missing. A hasty retitle patch-job somewhat ruins the beginning-credits sequence.

Featured review
Highly recommended for children and adults alike!
I was born the year this movies was made. Watched it first on T.V. in the early 50's when there were only three channels, and only black and white. As an adult I remembered the movie and the music. Not being able to remember the title, I had to search through many catalogs before finding the film. I have shown it at home to my children, and now my many grand-children. I never get tired of watching it, and the children love it. No matter how many time they watch it, they still laugh loudly, and listen intently during the music. The story line is great, the animation is unbelievable compared to todays computer animation, the color us bright and crisp, and the music is fantastic. If I could have only one movie, this would be it.
