Felix the Cat: The Movie

In general, this was an interesting movie, using some of the world's first computer animation for special effects. Made right after Czechloslovakia was ridding itself of Communism, this production had a wonderful team of voice actors playing a diverse cast of characters. Overall, the movie was good, although Felix himself, his personality, and his voice can all get really annoying. The animation was quite interesting, as well as the artwork gone into it. It may not be the best movie for everyone, but has always been one of my favorites. I suggest you at least try to see it.

I watched Felix the Cat: The Movie for the first time today expecting it to be terrible, as I had heard people say it was bland, uninspired and an insult to children. After seeing the film, I was surprised at how much I liked it, even with its problems. As a lover of animated movies, I will say I have been better, but I have also seen a hell of a lot worse as well.

Felix the Cat: The Movie was overall an enjoyable if somewhat unexceptional animated film. There are some moments when the animation is nice, with some pretty colours and I liked the animation on the robots and Duke of Zill. And I thought Princess Oriana was absolutely beautiful. But it is also rather inconsistent as well, there are parts in the more dramatic parts when some objects become static and the lip synching is sloppy on occasions. I had no problem with the story, I loved the concept, it was original and quite unique and the film started off really well. But it is in the latter half when the film does drag, but the real bummer was the rushed, abrupt and misplaced ending that could have been so much more.

There are many good things though. The music is great, with wonderful haunting incidental music and the music with Oriana dancing in the bubble was gorgeous. The song "Who is the Boss" is also delightfully catchy, it is strange but in a good way and it is intriguing as well. The story moves along quickly, yes there is a plot even if it is rather strange in places, and there are some humorous moments whether visually or audibly. The dialogue is fun, it isn't bland or sappy it has humour and it made me laugh. I liked Duke of Zill's dialogue, and I liked the character as well. He was underused, but I loved how he was animated, how he was voiced and I loved his flashback back story explaining who he was and how he became to be the way he was. Felix is a protagonist who may grate to some, but I think he has a likable and endearing personality and the voice didn't grate on me. In fact, the voice acting was very well done, Peter Newman was superb as Duke of Zill and Wack(who you don't trust at first but you do sort of like later) and Maureen O'Connell at least emotes. Chris Phillips is good as well as Felix, and Alice Playton(Blix from the 1985 fantasy film Legend) is decent as Madam Pearl.

Overall, not a perfect animated film, but even with its problems, it was enjoyable. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Felix the Cat: The Movie is a delightful animated adventure that captures the whimsical charm and creativity of the classic Felix the Cat character. The story, set in another dimension, pits Felix against the villainous Duke of Zill and his mechanical geometric army in a fun and imaginative battle to save Princess Oriana and restore peace to the land.

The animation is colorful and engaging, and Felix's personality shines throughout the film. It's a perfect blend of nostalgia and fresh storytelling that both longtime fans and new viewers can enjoy. The film's inventive world and entertaining characters make it a must-watch for anyone who loves classic animation and adventurous tales.

Highly recommended!

The movie has a lot of problems, such as the non-stop pacing, the bouncy weird animation and the unnecessary stupid scenes. But still has it's good things. Characters are boring and annoying at times but some of them have it's own personalities and make them interesting. There are many silly scenes, but i think that was on purpose. The film is weird but is weird because the writers tried to make this weird, and they made a perfect job on doing that, a weird nonsensical film. It doesn't have sense, but it isn't supposed to have sense, that's the fun about this film. Everything is weird and it feels like an acid trip, but a fun acid trip to unplug your brain for a moment. Not as terrible as people says but is true that some scenes are stupid, annoying and the animation is awful. Bad, but not that bad.

This is the most annoying animated movie from I have ever seen. It never lets up for a second. The only way I can describe this movie is a bunch of kids jumping up and down on a bed yelling.

The film was made in 1989 and it's opens with an introduction by Felix the cat. However this intro is a CGI head that might scare people out of the theater. The rest of the film, however, is rendered in hand-drawn animation. So the CGI Felix head is compliantly pointless. the rest of the film is a just a noise, noise, noise that insults your intelligence.

There have been many movies based of of other cartoons but they mostly suck.

Such as Speed Racer(2008) Scooby Doo(2002) Garfield(2004) Yogi Bear(2010) Alvin and the Chipmunks(2007) Underdog(2007 The Smurfs(2011)

My advise to you is to keep away from this one and stay with the cartoons.
