Hop the Grasshopper

Hop the Grasshopper is the main character of the 1934 Silly Symphony cartoon The Grasshopper and the Ants.
==Background==
Hop is a large grasshopper wearing a green tuxedo and a green hat as well as a pale of green-yellow legs. Being an anthropomorphic grasshopper, he is also shown to wear a pair of white gloves often playing a tune for the ants.
===Personality===
Hop is shown to be a funny grasshopper, often playing his fiddle to make the ants dance with him. During work, he became unaware of the Queen Ant who is furious of causing her fellow workers to be distracted while they were gathering food for the winter as the season begins to change. During the winter time, the Grasshopper felt hungry that he had no food for him for not helping out the ants. Just as the ants save him and keep him warm, Hop told the Queen to give him a second chance, but tells him that only those that work with the Queen may stay, making him joyful that he is able to stay with the ants once again.
==Role in the short==
The Grasshopper fiddles and plays through his day, tempting some of the worker ants to play with him, unaware that winter is coming and food will soon be scarce often singing "The World Owes Me a Living". During the winter, the Grasshopper began to feel cold with no food for him, so he knocks on the ants' door, which they see him outside the house. They even kept the Grasshopper warm, causing him to no longer feel cold. However, the Queen Ant approaches him as the Grasshopper tells her to give him a second chance. Just before he leaves, Hop continues playing his fiddle, causing the other ants to dance, acknowledging that the ants were right about this.

==Trivia==
*Pinto Colvig would go on to become the voice of Goofy whose signature tune is the song Hop made famous: "The World Owes Us a Livin'." Goofy can be heard humming it as late as 1950.
** Ironically, Goofy himself debuted in 1932's Mickey's Revue, exactly two years before Hop officially debuted.
