Felix The Cat Iceberg EXPLAINED

Ойын-сауық

Ever since I got back into Felix The Cat in mid 2019, I’ve been doing endless research about the character. From its importance in animation history to the many strangest partnerships over the years. So of course it was inevitable that I create an iceberg of all the interesting tidbits and weird things I found surrounding the character and its many entries. We’ll start out with entries that most people recognize and are familiar with and the deeper we go, the more obscure it gets. In the final tier we'll go over the more disturbing and creepy entries. Get your scuba gear on because we’re diving into “The Felix The Cat Iceberg”.

    UPDATE: I forgot to add two entries. Whoops! Talking Felix The Cat - Talking Felix The Cat was an iPhone app available for iPhone and iPad released in 2012. Similar to applications like Talking Tom and Talking Ben, you would speak to Felix and he would reply back whatever you said. As of 2022, the app is no longer available. Java Games - This entry says it all. There were two Java Games based on Felix The Cat both of which were only released in Brazil in 2007. The first game was titled Felix The Cat: Contra os Inimigos which translates to Felix Against The Enemies and Felix the Cat: A Bomba Relogio. Thanks for Watching!

    Milton Knight, an animator and director on the series, claimed that the production for the show was fun, but not exactly ideal. Other staffers have pitched in on the internet over time that the show's production was rather turbulent due to a variety of factors. Charlie Adler likewise said at an Anthrocon appearance that the production of the show's second season was a nightmare for everyone involved. One of the biggest problems during production was a classic case of too many cooks in the kitchen; the staff simply couldn't make up their mind what kind of cartoon this series was supposed to be. Studio head Phil Roman was most comfortable with the plot-and-dialogue-driven approach used in his commercial successes Garfield and Friends and The Simpsons, and had given this series what seemed like a guarded blessing-but then there was one group who wanted a Felix like the Otto Messmer shorts, one group who wanted Max Fleischer surrealism, Don Oriolo, the current owner of Felix, wanting it to be like his dad's made-for-TV Felix cartoons (which most of the staff working on the show was against-they ultimately, but begrudgingly, added certain elements from it into Twisted Tales, like the Magic Bag), one group who wanted the show to be Ren & Stimpy-esque (understandable, since some of the artists on the show were former Ren & Stimpy artists), and one director who wanted a Robert Crumb influence! The end result of this gave the show a very helter-skelter direction in tone and content, with Felix himself often getting swamped in importance by a large cast of supporting characters and his chaotic world. On top of that, per word of Mark Evanier, the studio had a terrible time finding a voice for Felix, saying they may have set a new industry record for most actors auditioned for one role (to where even staff of the studio were trying to audition for the role), and they wound up recording the show with a "scratch" (temporary) voice and animating to that. Out of desperation, they settled on casting Thom Adcox Hernandez as a temporary actor for Felix only a few weeks before an episode aired and he dubbed his voice over the animation, but intended to recast him after the first season wrapped up. The second season would end up recasting him with Charlie Adler. Another problem was that in addition to having a month to storyboard, design and do layout work on each short, they could not learn from their mistakes, because by the time film began to come in, the season had been just about wrapped up. Some directors could handle writing and boarding a good cartoon, while some couldn't. The artists had no say on retakes in animation either, which was left to Phil Roman to decide-and unfortunately, the overseas animation on the show tended to be rather sluggish. This only got worse with the second season, with Korean company Plus One Animation having to rush episodes through, resulting in sloppy artwork and very bad animation timing (with "Nightmare on Oak Street" being one of the worst examples in the second season). On top of that, they were behind schedule, so they couldn't order retakes to correct any mistakes. Eventually, Phil Roman and Don Oriolo found the "Cartoonist Driven" approach of the first season to be too taxing on them, and not even worth the trouble since, despite being one of the most expensive shows that Phil Roman's studio had made, the first season turned out to be a flop in ratings, due in part to a terrible time slot-it was usually sandwiched right between sports shows and then-ratings giant X-Men: The Animated Series, making it very hard to establish an audience for the show. On top of that, Don was just unhappy with the weird direction of season 1 having almost nothing in common with Joe Oriolo's Felix, so the second season went through an extensive retool. While the first season was storyboarded while working from a basic outline, and was absurdly surreal in its premises and animation, the second season decided to take the series into a direction more in vogue with the Joe Oriolo Felix cartoons and shift production to make the show a more standard TV cartoon, with scripts replacing the all-storyboard approach (usually provided by the writer of Garfield and Friends, Mark Evanier, who has remained silent on the series ever since), resulting in much more linear plotting and less surreal humor and more emphasis on wordplay and one liners, as well as bringing back some of the Oriolo era characters like Poindexter, Master Cylinder and The Professor while forcing most of the new side characters to be scrapped in turn. This move was met with outright hostile reception from the show's staff, particularly Timothy Björklund, the producer of the first season, who knew Don's meddling would only make things worse and bailed on the show just two weeks into the second season's production. Evanier attempted to voice direct the actors instead of the directors, but after a couple weeks of trying that, the results were so disastrous that the studio was forced to drop that position and hand over voice direction back to the cartoon directors. And the biggest slap in the face was that the show's budget was reduced to a third of what it originally was, which guaranteed the animation would take a nosedive in quality. The artists, who were very unhappy about the situation, retaliated by writing whole episodes that took jabs at the second season's toned down retool, such as "Attack of the Robot Rat" (which infuriated Don Oriolo for being a ruthless parody of his dad's made for TV Felix the Cat cartoons), "Background Details" (which jabs at the show's production), "Phoney Felix" (A jab at the animation industry at the time... Or at least somewhat today It even jabs at Film Roman the company that made the show) and "The Fuzzy Bunny Show" (Jabbing at the show's ratings and characters popularity, as well as the other Film Roman made show that dominated the CBS Saturday Morning ratings at the time Garfield and Friends). The first few scripts they received were followed closely, but Craig Kellman, the show's new producer, finally fought for the artists to have more storytelling and creative control on the show, and they were able to completely scrap the scripts and write their own shows, ironically giving the crew more freedom than they had in the first season. Some episodes were tightly scripted and some were not. Unfortunately for them, the VP of Children's Programming, Judy Price, who wanted the show picked up in the first place, got fired, and Felix the Cat Inc. was so unhappy with the show in general that they refused to renew the license for Phil Roman to continue using Felix, guaranteeing a third season wouldn't happen. To make matters worse, the second season turned out to be an even bigger flop in the ratings, and it ultimately got the show canned, with season 2 ending after just 8 episodes. The show's failure ultimately put the Felix the Cat cartoons on ice yet again, with only low key revivals coming of the series after the fact.

    Most of the staff openly hated the made-for-TV Felix cartoons made by Joe Oriolo in the late 50's/early 60's, and wanted the show to exclusively follow the roots of the original silent cartoons and abandon the characters and tone of the TV cartoons. Don Oriolo, Joe's son and then-owner of Felix the Cat, insisted that they at least include certain elements from it like the Magic Bag so that the show would have some kind of tie to his dad's work. As mentioned earlier, by the time the second season started production, Phil Roman and Don Oriolo decided to take the series into a direction more in vogue with the Joe Oriolo Felix cartoons and shift production to make the show a more standard TV cartoon, with scripts replacing the all-storyboard approach, resulting in much more linear plotting and less surreal humor and more emphasis on wordplay and one-liners, as well as bringing back some of the Oriolo era characters like Poindexter, Master Cylinder and The Professor while scrapping most of the new characters while downplaying the focus of the few new characters who did show up. This was a move that did NOT sit well with the staff-In response, "Attack of the Robot Rat" had the writers shoot back by making it a very mean spirited parody of the Joe Oriolo Felix cartoons. "Phoney Felix" can also be seen as a Stealth Parody of the retool of Season 2, with Felix having his show hijacked by an imbecilic imposter who imitates some of the traits of Oriolo Felix, such as saying his "Righty-O!" catchphrase, singing the TV show theme song and using a (shoddy knockoff) of the magic bag of tricks, It even takes brief jabs at Film Roman (the company that made the show) and Spumco (where the artist used to work on Ren and Stimpy) and the industry as a whole where the Knockoff character can't find work unless he has a hit movie or successful toyline. "Background Details" Takes jabs at the show's hectic production such as being un-focused and taxing on the artist and later having the artist coming up with the episode coming off as un-focused. "The Fuzzy Bunny Show" takes it a step further by having a direct snipe at Don Oriolo with a caricature of himself being responsible for getting Felix's show cancelled in favor of the cutesy bunny cartoon and the TV executive The building there in is called APC Network a jab at CBS congratulating hem. "Wizards and Lizards" that has a running gag with a network executive giving Felix suggestions to improve the show and even scolds him at the end of the episode for being too mean and violent, This was another jab at the CBS network for wanting the show to be more kid-friendly.

    I want to thank you dearly for this! Felix is a very nostalgic figure for me, I'm 27 so my main memory of Felix are from his 1995 series, which I can only barely remember. As a latina who grew up in a small town for a good chunk of her childhood though, for some reason merch of vintage cartoons would find it way into our houses and just remain there forever. I can remember so many old T-shirts, so many bootleg Felixes used by small stores, I remember the first time I went to NY and running into the Felix clock that you shared earlier and being enamoured by it. Felix was like Betty Boop, an icon that was there without quite being there, a constant without context, and just... I loved finding this and learning so much! For some reason I'm suddenly filled with affection for this cat that I barely knew but was always happy to see. I'm rambling now lol but seriously, thank you for taking the time to put this together, if I ever become a collector of Felix merch it may just be because of you!

    If i remember correctly, a character becomes public domain 70 years after the death of the original creator. There are two men credited in creating felix the cat, Pat Sullivan and Otto Messmer, Sullivan died more than 70 years ago but Messmer died in 1983, meaning there is an arguement that felix is not allowed in the public domain. This means that, unless copyright laws are changed, felix will become public domain in 2053.

The simplest way to think of trademark is that is meant to help protect branding, it exists in order to minimize market confusion. So as long as Felix is not used in a way that would make people think it's associated with the dream works, you can do whatever you want with him.

    thanks for getting me into felix. the first time i knew of felix was when i was 5 my mom would buy me dvds of classic cartoons that i think people make bootlegs for, and a lot of them were popeye cartoons but this one dvd randomly had the bold king cole felix cartoon at the end of it after like 20 popeye animations and i found him to be really endearing (i also thought he was a girl because of the high pitched voice). but it was super late at night so my mom walked in and she was like “oh youre watching felix the cat!” and then she had to turn it off in the middle of the short because it was late and i had school the next day and i remember bawling so much that night because i wanted to see more of it. i was actually hoping felix would come to life and calm me down or something. the next day i finished watching the short and i liked it. fastforward almost 2 decades later and i only learned recently that there was only 3 of those colored shorts LOL. they shouldve made more dammit. for the past few months i was kind of put off from getting into felix for a while because his cartoons seem so “broken” compared to mickey mouse. but watching your video has made me learn to actually love felix’s unstable history. ive been watching twisted tales and baby felix back to back and i like them. i also liked the movie for the most part. and ive played through the NES game twice. and its all thanks to your wonderful video.

Schneider (creator of GB) are good friends! They participated in the development of the film together. The Christians son Maci Schneider worked on "The Squishees" soundtrack with Oriolo and they still good friends. Amazing iceberg!!!

As Felix would be created in 1932. Witch he would state after that was correct 45:00 a miniature copy of the cat that's was not in the Macy's parade. Fun fact: in a 1931 news paper. It's mentioned a krazy Kat balloon. Witch could be the black cat from 1931. This krazy Kat even appeared in a cartoon. In the style that looks like Felix. This carton was made WAY before the balloon was created.

    You should of put Kitsy Cat (Originally known as Kitty Katty through 1922-1926) He strangely looks like felix the cat except he has a shirt (It is red in the colored shorts) and pants (They are orange in the colored shorts) and his cartoons are similar to felix the cat but he has some friends who are 2 other characters but around the early 1940s his design was changed to be a bit more modern and realistic but his design is different than felix due to him being white breasted and having white hands and feet.
