Cartoon Craze Presents Felix the Cat Woos Whoopee:

1. Felix Woos Whoopee -1930
2. Felix in Forty-Winks - 1930
3. Felix in Arabiantics - 1928
4. Felix in False Vases - 1930
5. Felix theCat in Futuritzy - 1928
6. Felix in Sculls and Skulls - 1930
7. Felix the Cat in Outdoor Indore - 1928

All of these animations are either 1928 or 1930. Just before or just after Steamboat Willie brought sound into animation to stay. Pat Sullivan was living the high life and did not want to know for sound. Felix was/is the king of silent animation. He was too buzy running is house to see his train leave the station.

The transfers are very clean on all of the subjects. The problem is the sound. At some time in the life of these silent animations someone postdubbed in half assed sound that is very irritating. It would have been nice while restoring these Felix cartoons to restore them to their silent purity as well. Background soundtrack yes, stupid voices no. An okay view if you turn the sound off on your TV and put an old 78-RPM record on your antique turntable.
