"Hoppity Goes to Town" this Friday on AMC

[Jon Cooke]

For those who have never seen it (or those who want a copy of it), be sure to catch the Fleischer animated movie Hoppity Goes to Town (a/k/a Mr. Bug Goes to Town) this Friday (December 21) at 6:00am on AMC.

I actually liked "Hoppity" much more than the Fleischer Gulliver's Travels. There are some great scenes, and Bagley Beetle's Abbott and Costello-type henchmen are pretty funny. Check it out.

Hopefully, VCR's will be rolling, or I'll be awake early enough. Probably the latter, I got that cartoon on tape. Does this version have original opening titles?

God, I haven't seen "Hoppitty Goes To Town" since I was maybe 12 or 13! I'm glad I stocked up on blank videos!!

I taped it off AMC during the summer, and it did not have the original titles. The opening title said Hoppity Goes to Town and "An NTA Release". However, it *did* have the "A Paramount Picture" closing title.

And, thanks to the new "relevant" AMC, at no extra charge, commercials and a constant logo.

No doubt about it, I enjoy "Hoppity" much more than Gulliver. Wonderful cartoony characters and a gorgeous color scheme.

I somehow managed to miss this one when it aired in the past, so this is great news. I've never seen this one, though I have seen Gulliver's Travels. I'll have to make sure I tape this. Lucky for me, I'm getting out for winter break tomorrow and get to go home where I can get AMC. Thanks Jon! :bosko:

Just hope anybody doesn't mind AMC cutting into the movie with 3 minutes filled with commericals and possible edits to make room for the commericals.That's a new thing AMC now does to it's film library and that's what AMC did to "King Kong" a couple of months ago. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Sadly I can't see it. I go to school an hour after it airs. Plus I'm usualy asleep at that time.

Will somebody who's seen it before please post here whether it is edited or not after it airs? Thanks.
