  • The current digital master* (right) for Felix the Cat: The Movie interestingly has a revised version of the mocap CGI Felix at the beginning with improved lipsync compared to the majority of other home video releases (left). When this retake was done is beyond me.
    *UPDATE 19 NOV 2023: As of now, a true HD master of Felix exists. It uses the original version of the intro.

    Wow, that CGI head on the left is burned into my memory as a child. It was very impressive to me as a kid in 1989.

      It's STILL impressive to me that they were able to do that back in '89.

    There never was a theme for Felix the Cat. He goes wherever the writers tell him to go.

      That just means that there is no limit to whatever Felix can be, unlike a certain Mouse who nowadays is trying to be made into something mostly baby-ish by his parent company, thank the stars he's finally in the Public Domain, sort of.

      I really liked the pseudo theme the Twisted Tales of Felix The Cat had. They were incredibly bizarre and strange but stuck to the “1920’s rubber hose, everything is alive and jiving to some swing music Daddy-O” vibe. It really fits Felix and played homage to his animation roots

      @@skurvay3429 Just goes to show Disney can't keep Mickey outside of public domain forever even though they wish to do that. His earliest incarnation is in public domain now and soon the other classic Mickey cartoons in the early 30's will soon be public domain as well.

    Well done. I watched it a few times. I find the differences are more noticeable if you stare at the centre of the screen between the two images. Most notably the mouth movement.

    This was such a strange and random way to start a movie. Anyone who even cared about the cgi just spent the screening wondering why the rest of the movie looked nothing like that.

    Do you have access to any of the versions with the messed up audio mix? I remember some time ago I wanted to get the same version that was in the Nostalgia Critic video because it was much easier to extract the background music, I remember a long time ago someone had a pretty clear isolated version of the "headhunters" cue but it's been long since deleted. There were also hints that Christopher L Stone uncovered his masters for the score but nothing really came of it...
