  • Hoppity Goes to Town -- Imaginative animated story with the title grasshopper (voice of Kenny Gardner) helping his insect friends find a new home after tiny Bugville is doomed by a skyscraper project, then must rescue his honey-bee sweetheart (voice of Gwen Williams) from a villainous beetle. Directed by Dave Fleischer, the animation is playful and often inventive, with the pleasant music of Frank Loesser and Hoagy Carmichael helping matters along, especially the contrived subplot about a songwriter and a penthouse garden. Slapstick menace. (A-I) (br) ( 1941 )




    These movies have been evaluated for artistic merit and moral suitability by the media reviewing division of Catholic News Service. The reviews include the CNS rating, the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief synopsis of the movie.

    The classifications are as follows:

    A-I -- general patronage;
    A-II -- adults and adolescents;
    A-III -- adults;
    L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
    O -- morally offensive.

    Note: Some movies previously were designated A-IV. Older films with this classification should be regarded as classified L.
