True Meets Blue
On this day 100 years ago, after two successful trial runs, Otto Messmer & Pat Sullivan's beloved frolicking feline became his own in "The Adventures of Felix".
Word limits cannot begin to rightfully acknowledge the legacy of Felix the Cat. As the first, true original cartoon & television hero, Felix defined the dawning art of animation. His simplistic yet effective design, plus carefree mischievous mannerisms inspired countless characters for decades to come; including corporate-consuming rodents & wascally wabbits. Happy Centenary, Felix!
Hmm. A short, wisecracking cartoon animal, primary coloured with wide eyes and cheeks, pot belly & large appendages, who travels around the world having wacky adventures with his most notable nemesis being an eccentric, robot-making scientist sporting a stocky build & big, bushy moustache? That sounds rather familiar.
Must've seen it in a cartoon sometime.
