Felix the Cat Woos Whoopee (1928/1929/1930)


FELIX THE CAT WOOS WHOOPEE  (1928/1929/1930)
    D: Otto Messmer                                                            ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢
A collection of seven Felix the Cat cartoons from the late silent/early sound era, released as a bargain DVD in 2004. All of them take place in a black-and-white cartoon universe where every body part is detachable, any object can become something else without warning, and reality as a concept in theory or practice simply does not apply. You don't have to be a stoner or a four-year-old to appreciate Felix the Cat, but it probably wouldn't hurt. These things are strange.
