A 1959 Re-release (re-titled "Hoppity Goes to Town" for this re-release) Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Forty by Sixty Movie Poster (measures 40" x 60") (Learn More) Mr. Bug Goes to Town, the 1941 Dave Fleischer feature-length animated animation family musical insect comedy cartoon ("The screen's first full-length musical comedy cartoon"; "Produced by Max Fleischer") featuring the voices of Kenny Gardner, Gwen Williams, Jack Mercer, Tedd Pierce Carl Meyer, and Stan Freed. Note that Max Fleischer (along with his brother Dave) were legends and pioneers in animated films. They made the very first sound cartoon in 1924, beating Walt Disney by several years. They had great success with their Out of the Inkwell cartoons, Popeye, Betty Boop, and much more, including the Superman cartoons, widely regarded as the finest cartoons ever made! But after Walt Disney made Snow White, the Fleischers made Gulliver's Travels, which did not do well at the box office, and their next major project, Mr. Bug Goes To Town, had the bad fortune to be released two days before the attack on Pearl Harbor, and it also did poorly. At this same time, the Fleischer brothers had a major falling out, and in 1942, they split completely. After they made the last of their Superman cartoons in 1942, Paramount ceased control of their studio. Each of the brothers made a few more cartoons, but their careers were essentially over. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The entire poster has darkened somewhat. There are many creases around the edges of the poster, and a lesser number scattered through the image. This poster was never folded (it was sent rolled in a tube to the poster exchange, and then to the theater, if it was used in a theater). The poster has some clear imperfections. We likely have written a few words about those imperfections, but we may not have, as they likely can be seen by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster. Note that, if the poster has "crinkle marks" which are difficult to see in our image, we ALWAYS mention that in words! Learn More about condition grades
