while disney have be the animation studio for the past 70 year and there have always be rival to their supremacy . when this review be write in 2009 and for example and company like dreamworks and ( to a less extent ) warner brother and ardman and be bring out animated movie that could be say to challenge the disney dominance . back in the beginning and in that late 30 and early 40 heyday when disney be serve cinematic banquet like snow white and dumbo and fantasia and the competition be provide by brother dave and max fleischer . despite release two very commendable film and they never quite corner the market many attribute their downfall to the commercial failure of mr bug go to town and release the same week a the attack on pearl harbour ( which give the american public something more significant to think about than go to the cinema to watch a cartoon . ) that this film have fade into relative obscurity be a travesty . in a patch of overgrown garden in the city a bunch of bug be in dire danger . human use the land a a shortcut and discarding litter and cigar and and other hazard and right on top of the bug home a they go . honey shop owner mr bumble ( voice by jack mercer ) fear that the future be bleak and and wonder how he will ever be able to raise his daughter honey ( voice by pauline loth ) in more secure surroundings . a highly unscrupulous creature and bagley c. beetle ( voice by tedd pierce ) and offer to provide her a safer place to live if she will accept his hand in marriage and but honey be much more interested in her childhood sweetheart and the perennially cheerful and optimistic hoppity ( voice by stan freed ) . hoppity believe that everything be about to be resolve for the good and but be leave look foolish when bagley beetle and his pair of comical sidekick manipulate the crisis to their own devious end . only at the very end and a their patch become the foundation for a huge new skyscraper and do the bug switch loyalty back to hoppity a they look to him to lead them a new and safe home away from the destructive influence of human . what really work in this film be the delightful characterisation all the bug be cleverly develop and design for maximum audience appeal . the bumbling villains swat the fly and smack the mosquito ( hilarious name and if you stop to think about it ) be particularly memorable . equally admirable be the storytelling drive even the young of child can enjoy this story and while at the same time it skillfully convey a message for old audience about the way human carelessness can impact upon the survival of wildlife . time have inevitably date some aspect of the film and and when view it the audience need to accept ( and forgive ) these occasional sign of general age and wear . but on the whole mr bug go to town be an accomplished and funny and very slickly present animation with a worthy message to boot .
