Why does Felix the Cat have such a record of mediocrity?
Felix's original shorts were great stuff, but once he had to compete with color, he basically tripped on his shoelaces and never really pulled himself back up until The Twisted Tales of Felix (79 years later), and that was short lived.
It just seems weird that when Felix sticks to his origins, he excels in quality, but any time he avoids it, it results in mediocre media.
Flooded by younger competition. Disney of course, was a much different style of cartoon, but they are a huge studio. The Warner Brothers cartoons came from the absurdly underpowered Termite Terrace, but made very clever cartoons in basically the same style as the old Felix shorts.
The original Felix the cat shorts were really the first of their kind. My guess is that once the transition was made to color/sound and higher quality film in general, the emphasis was placed on that rather than the expression and content of the story itself.

What I find odd is the lack of recognition Felix has around here. He doesn't even have good reactionfaces beside this one.
>>81829923
Felix really isn't that flexible of a character, which is a bit weird since he isn't much different from Mickey. However, what he is good at he excels in.
Here's hoping his new Netflix cartoon is good.

WHO
IS THE
BOSS?
I think the issue is that people don't especially have any notion of Felix's personality, he's basically just a design.

>Twisted Tales of Felix
That had the best intro theme ever.

Immediately brings me back to all those times I rented it at Blockbuster. Kinda glad Felix is staying dead, honestly. We're never gonna get any better than Twisted Tales.

>That episode withfurries
>>81835975
I preferred his season 2 voice.
Can't go wrong with good ol' Charlie Adler.
>>81836538
Exact opposite here. I thought the season 1 voice was a lot more distinctive
>That episode where Felix was cucked by a Piggy Bank.
>That episode where Felix almost bang that dove singing MILF.

See ya there, square!
This show was full of quality waifus, why the porn about is empty or shit?
>>81837591
It came and went before the Internet appeared.
>>81837928
Well actually this is the case for many shows.

The thing, my dear friends, is that all you require is single autistic furry who then proceeds to commission alot of stuff about said cartoon.
IE, Tabaluga was practically unheard of when it comes to porn until some guy took him as his 'fursona'
>>81838288
and where is this people?
>Not enough love for best cat girl

>That episode where Felix harassed that famous actress.
>>81837591
There's probably some tijuana bibles we'll never see
one of the designers for Twisted Tales also worked on AoSTH

This show was incredible because he succeeded to make a modernized version of Fleischer Studios style.
that was actually less "PC" than Tiny Toons or Animaniacs.
I remember that episode where Felix was attracted by a Mermaid making lewd noises.
>>81829923
Switch around some words, and...
He's Literally Sonic
Well OP it was a Pre-Code time and you could actually show extremely drunk people, offensive themes and more stuff like that in 1926.
People who were born after the Hays Code are extreme faggots.
Felix is actually in the public domain.
you can make your own show/comic with him now.
>find the movie comfy but can't really watch movies alone because autism
>no friends
>internet too shit to stream with /co/
>sister half my age has seen it once and fucking hates it, so can't do it "ironically"

Fritz the cat is actually his grandson, and Felix hate him because he's a fucking hippie and a crow-lover.

good taste
that creepy 3d head tho
>>81841365
And what is felix supposed to be? A Fonz rockabilly or something like that? his girlfriend looks like one.
>>81839756
Well yeah, Classic Sonic was inspired by Felix, right down to mannerisms. So in a way, he's a sort of spiritual successor to him.
