The History of Animation 12 - Pat Sullivan: Felix The Cat (1922)

These are all the Felix the Cat animations we've found from 1922. We're going to divide Felix's animations up, per year, so that they aren't individual posts. While Felix is important due to his popularity in the 20s, his popularity only lasted one decade. It hasn't survived to today the way others have. To be fair, though, he is still the most popular cartoon character created before 1920.

This Felix cartoon is interesting, because it featured live photos of a building as the backgrounds.
