I grew up with Felix the Cat and his Magic Bag of Tricks in the 1960’s and he is still my favorite cartoon after all these years. The Professor was always trying to steal Felix’s Magic Bag and we think he succeeded. Felix needs your help to find his bag of tricks. Felix’s goal is to search all 50 U.S. States and return home to California. Can you help?
Felix the Cat first appeared on screen as "Master Tom" in FELINE FOLLIES released on September 1, 1919. Felix the Cat enjoyed celebrity status and quickly became a household name in Canada, the U.S. and abroad in England, Germany, Australia, and China. Felix became one of the most famous stars of the 1920's, rivaling Charles Chaplin and Buster Keaton. In 1923, a Felix the Cat comic strip was created and ran in newspapers until 1943. It was very popular during WWII. In 1927, the first giant balloon in the MACY*S Thanksgiving Parade was Felix the Cat.
When his screen career faded in popularity in the mid-1930s, Felix spent several years in a memorable series of short comic films titled FELIX'S MAGIC BAG OF TRICKS. In this series, Felix's magic satchel was introduced and was featured in many of the films. It is still full of wonderful tricks and things. This limited-animation series was produced by Otto Messmer's former assistant, Joe Oriolo. It introduced Felix's Magic Bag of Tricks, as well as characters like The Professor, Vavoom, Master Cylinder and Poindexter (believed to be named after Oriolo's lawyer).
THAT'S ALL FOLKS !!
