I have long been a fan of the early, silent Felix cartoons. They have a life that few cartoons these days can match (even with sound).
There were many (relatively speaking) Felix complilations on VHS, but as that medium goes the way of the vinyl LP, I wondered if Felix would also be making the move (I doubt a ton of money is made off of silent animation these days, and since money seems to move most things...). Luckily someone did lead the charge, and now I can finally rid myself of the ... Read More

This DVD is an ideal companion to the excellent "Presenting Felix the Cat" DVD. Although it contains only 7 episodes, it does span from his debut to the end of his silent days.
The first 3 cartoons (Feline Follies, Felix Saves The Day, Felix in Hollywood are available on Felix's other DVD, but they are of a far stunning picture quality with better music.
The other cartoons are presented with added 1920's music and sound effects (when they were re-released), some of which are a bit crude (especially ... Read More

Great animation is hard to come by these days, which makes this DVD collection of Felix the Cat cartoons worth having. However, one wishes the DVD had been longer than 51 minutes.

The print quality is quite good and the disc includes some color footage of animation pioneer Otto Messmer - the genius ... Read More

I read up on these cartoons at college several years ago and this is the first time I've been able to get to see them - it's fascinating to watch these as examples of the best and most popular cartoons of their time, in the years immediately before Mickey Mouse - primitive as they appear now, this only serves to highlight the impact that Disney's work must have had soon after these cartoons were made. They're still witty and entertaining in their own right, predating the insidious idea that cartoons are a kids' medium, ... Read More

Like you probably are, I expected to see the Felix the Cat that I grew up with here, running around with his magic bag of tricks. That's not what this DVD is about exactly.
These are some of the original Felix the Cat cartoons. Way before the character we all immediately recognize as Felix was developed. These are silent cartoons (just a soundtrack played in the background with the occasional screen-sized caption for dialogue or plot). The art is fairly basic, but the animation is still all right.
