Studio Ghibli will be releasing Mr. Bug goes to Town on the 19th of December as part of there Ghibli Museum label. Those lucky Japanese.

The good news is a DVD release should be out sometime next year.

The ironic thing here is that it was Japan's bombing of Pearl Harbor that supposedly cancelled the general release of MR. BUG.

So, It was the yaps that brought down the Fleischer Studio.

What brought down the Flesicher's studio, I think, had its seed planted in the 30's and remained until it strangled the whole studio later on.

The Fleischer's were (unlike Walt and Roy) extraordinarily poor businessmen. Plus by the time Mr. Bug tanked, Dave was clear across the country heading up Screen Gems.

The failure of Mr. Bug just sped up the inevitable.

"Terrible businessmen"??? Oh, Ray!

One of John K and Steve Worth's old talking points was that non-artists have no business telling artists what to do. Yet look at out artists like Max and Dave got kicked out of their own studio, Walter Lantz was on the verge of bankruptcy on multiple occasions (and couldn't hold onto talent if his life depended on it), and Paul Terry never produced anything more significant than sausage.

Really, the only artist who ever successfully ran things was Walt. And Roy's influence on Disney's continued survival can't be overstated.

To be honest, I don't consider Walter Lantz an artist (some of his employees maybe but not him) and while I haven't seen too many Terrytoons, about ten more bad ones and that studio is going on my hiatus list, so Terry isn't one either. Max and Dave Flesicher while closer to being artists than those two, were closer to those two in vein than they were to Walt Disney. Artist is a word I don't like to apply loosely, just because you did work in animation doesn't mean you are one, same thing with painting.

I have to agree with John K (unfortunately) because I think that more producers today should take the "Leon Schelsinger approach" and not get involved unless its an "emergency" (like delays or money) or at least try to (we might get better films, we might not). At the same time, he needs to get over the fact that he had his chance (twice I might add) and lost both of them (some people don't even get one). He was given (almost) complete freedom (the Schelsinger approach, I think) the second time (which meant he could put whatever sick image on the screen) and yet he was still kicked off. That tells me that something was wrong at his end.
