Information
Felix
the Cat first hit the screen on November 9, 1919, in
Feline Follies. The mischievous feline, created by Otto
Messmer for the Pat Sullivan Studio, rocketed to fame,
holding a spot as the world's most popular cartoon character
until the advent of Mickey Mouse. The wild, witty cartoons
made during this period included such classics as Felix
in Hollywood (1923), Felix Switches Witches (1927),
and Comicalamities (1928). They were released by Paramount
Pictures (1919-21), M. J. Winkler (1922-25), Educational
Pictures (1925-28), First National (1928-29), and Copley
Pictures (1929-31).
