Learning from the mistakes ''Gulliver'' made trying to rip off the fairy tale atmosphere of Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Snow White|AndTheSevenDwarfs}}'' and winding up as a cold, inferior imitation in the process, the Fleischers decided to take a more contemporary approach to this film, with its real world New York setting providing a believable, interesting backdrop for the events of the film. While there was still a treacly love story, the characters are still fairly interesting, and some generous slapstick is thrown in here and there to lighten the feeling of the film, obviously keeping one of the positive aspects of ''Gulliver''. The film also benefits from having a much more episodic structure than ''Gulliver''.
Unfortunately, the film had the misfortune of premiering just two days before Pearl Harbor (it was officially released on February 13, 1942)-- which, combined with lack of promotion from Paramount (who had no faith in the picture), caused the film to tank at the box office. While the Fleischers were ultimately ruined by Dave Fleischer's contract-violating departure to Screen Gems cartoon outlet, this film could indirectly be considered a part of the Fleischers' downfall.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: Hoppity goes through a ''lot'' of misery, as does the rest of the bugs, before they finally get their happy ending. The same goes for songwriter Dick Dickens and his wife, who at one point have their home foreclosed upon, and finally move to the struggling skyscraper's penthouse as his song becomes a hit.

* UglyGuyHotGirlfriend: To be frank, Honey looks more like an human "girl next door", while Hoppity is described as havoing a "big, bloated head stuck on a skinny body". Bagley, while having a more human design than Hoppity, isn't too good-looking either.

* DigitalDestruction: The "Bugville" DVD release of ''Mr. Bug Goes to Town'' was apparently a raw transfer from an old laserdisc of the film, and it shows; marred by atrocious digital compression that makes it painful to even look at, you would think you were watching a bootleg, and it's supposed to be an official release! Fortunately, there is no interlacing or DVD issues otherwise.
