Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Not even bad in a good way

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

That quote right there, that quote easily tells you right there that Felix The Cat is a downright insane person that would look fine at a local Asylum.Come to think of it, so does this film too. It constantly strangles itself like a crappy Poundland Bart Simpson knockoff and shoves so much weird and trippy imagery down our eyelids and our throats that there is literally, and I mean LITERALLY, no room to breathe for an actual story.Or actual characters too.Felix The Cat: The Movie is an 82 minute hellhole, hold on, what am I even saying lads, this is not a film, this is an exercise in constant unbearableness. An exercise even someone like Winnie The Pooh would give up after 4 seconds.I, one of the few poor unfortunate souls (Disney reverencing aside) actually had this sucker on DVD. And even as a young lad I thought, watching Superman watching The Three Stooges watching Laurel and Hardy watching paint dry would have been more enjoyable than this.Literally right at the start, the film throws you out of your comfy sofa with noise. "Oh the noise! Noise! Noise!" The Grinch basically summed the film up there.The film never once SHUTS UP, once one character's talked, then another talks and random sound effects are put here and there. It's as if everyone part of the production thought "Oh no! The film's gonna be crap if it's quiet! Oh my! The kiddie winks will get bored if we don't give em noise!" and they ran around the studio shouting and yelling and thought "Yeah, that would make a good film." No, it didn't lads. No, it bladdy well didn't.Also I think this must be the first animated film where you'll want everyone dead within under 4 seconds...The incredibly irritating and rather psychopathic Felix who could make even Hannibal Lecter cry in his sleep.The two random guys who want his bag.The unbelievably retarded princess who actually withdrew her army at the start despite the fact she KNOWS she needed them. (What a dumbarse.) There is literally not one single human being or animal to root for here, you'll want to literally blow up the dreaded place.Oh yes and what about the abysmal animation that looks rushed, unfinished and probably has tons of errors? To those saying it looks like a Saturday morning cartoon, trust me, it wouldn't even look good as a Saturday morning cartoon. Even those choppy 70's cartoons look better than this.Voice acting is unbelievably grating. I actually came out with a massive headache shortly afterwards. (I'll take all those bad things I said about you back Scaredy Squirrel, you ain't as grating as these miserable lot here.) There's not even a famous person(unless you count Alice Playten from Ridley Scott's Legend and the Disney version of Doug). Not to mention it hardly even matches the chuffin lip synch and in some parts it's so bloody loud you can't even understand what they're saying. Christ el mundo, was all this sound editing done by a one year old? Even then they would have done better.Felix The Cat: The Movie is an unbearable psychedelic trip that not only hurts the eyes but blows up the ears as if it's some crappy Michael Bay film. Even as a drug it still wouldn't be fun in the slightest.Everything grates on your nerves within 1 second and it completely spits on the legacy of this beloved character.Easily one of the worst animated films ever made and a horrible experience I never want to revisit again.Now run away children, run as fast as you can and never look back at this damn thing.AAAAARRGGGH!

I think this film wasn't actually meant to be a film at theatres, nor was it meant to be a kids film at all, but in fact was meant to be an American Torture weapon for captured Soviet Spies who suffered from epilepsy. In fact, I don't think you need epilepsy to suffer some really rotten memories from this one. Let me put it this way, its cheaply made, its poorly animated, the dialogue is crass, the sound management sounds like it was done by a 3 year old banging away at the console, the movie never knows when to stop making noise for a few moments, the images seen are enough to leave children mentally scarred and the story is practically non-existent.Let me break it down. First things first, the problems with this film can be found within the first 2 minutes. One, the animation is a joke, with the dialogue and the lip movements never matching up, as well as it not having any rhythm, like every other frame was left out to save on cost, so it makes the whole thing rather jumpy. Two, the sound management is totally unmanaged. There is too much speaking and most of the time its pasted over someone else's dialogue whilst that other person's dialogue is much more important. It's like it's afraid that if the noise stops for a second the viewers will lose all interest. Also, background noises are for some reason given priority over the dialogue as most words can't be heard over a trivial sound in the background.Three, the characters are just stupid. The Princess is a complete Bimbo who disbanded her army even though the threat of invasion by her uncle loomed over them. Felix is mentally sick, laughing at the dead and talking to himself. And everyone else is just there to make noise and make this movie justifiable, with none of them really making any pivotal points in the story.As for the story, I don't even want to go there, you folks can try and figure it out, as for me, I have much better things to waste my time on rather than fathoming out what some idiot in Broadmoor could have written in half an hour.Overall, its a miserable excuse for a film, it's just a waste of animation and film time. I don't think any child would find this enjoyable, and if they did, I'd have them see a Psychiatrist pronto!

I'm sorry, but I never heard of Felix the Cat. And when I watched the movie, it's as if Hannah-Babara hated kids and decided "Hey, let's make this movie and make millions of children cry"! When Princess Oriana(Maureen O'Connell) gets kidnapped by a crazy scientist named Zill(Peter Newman), the princess' tear(?!) takes an alternate dimensional travel and finds Felix(Chris Phillips). When Felix follows the tear(?!!!) to the strange land of Oriana, he encounters a variety of beings. He is followed by the Professor and his nephew, Poin Dexter, and.... All right! That does it! I am not going to tell you the story, but I'll tell you why I hate this movie! The songs: why do we need a song for a group of foxes looking at a bag? Is that really necessary?!The animation: It's probably done by the same idiot who did those god-awful cut-scenes for the Zelda CD games. The character design: Why does the villain look like a rip-off of Darth Vader from Star Wars? This movie's ripping off Darth Vader from Star Wars! Felix the Cat: Is it just me or did I just witness Felix the Cat laughing at a skull and making faces at it? What the Flying Flip?! What is he, a sadist?! Is laughing at dying or dead people and making faces at them his personal hobby?! And I don't suppose that if I see a funeral, there'd be tons of people laughing their freaking heads off and making faces at the deceased while their loved ones are lowered into their graves after they die! And last, the name of the villain. Zill? That's the best name for a villain you can come up with?! Zill?!! Seriously! Boy oh boy, this movie disgusts me. This movie is so bad, it drove the Nostalgia Critic to the breaking point. All the characters are loathsome beings, the animation looks like an obnoxious Zelda CD-i game, the music is generic, the songs are idiotic, the story makes no sense, and the main character is a sadist. I'm starting to notice that this movie is like a rejected Zelda CD-i game. In fact, this whole movie is a rejected Zelda CD-i game!

I remember watching this on VHS as a kid, and even then, it seemed odd. So, when I got the chance to watch it again, I had to take it and confirm that, yes, even before I developed any sort of taste, there was a reason You've got: Colliding art styles: Felix retains some of the start-stop jerkiness often found in old cartoons, while the princess shows some (but not quite enough) fluidity. The rest of the characters are bouncing, flailing, late-'80s style messes. Ugly as sin, and made worse by repeated scenes, which only get uglier the second time through. For a kid's movie, why the heck is there a scene with mutant seahorses trying to attract the attention of a pair of legs by flouncing their boobs about, and a gag where a young fox is straining to pee on Felix's magic bag?There's almost no plot. It's more like a series of events that just kind of happen, but never once feels tied together. It doesn't make sense, not in a surreal and zany way (cf. Yellow Submarine), but in a wholly pointless one. There's no depth of character, either; they're all just things moving around on a screen, without motivations or logic or plot.Presumably, the Professor and Poindexter characters are a tie-in to the old show, but they add absolutely nothing to the movie. In fact, there's a number of scenes that don't seem to do anything besides take up time.The audio frequently fails to match up with the animation, from the music scenes to voices. And voices are regularly obscured beneath the score and sound effects. But that's okay, because voice acting ranges from apathetic to obnoxious to hammy and overblown. Not that there's much to say. If there's not a groan-worthy line exposition occurring, there's a constant babble of lame puns instead.It's watchable as an animated train wreck or distraction for kids with undemanding tastes, but an animated classic it is not. Oh, the songs are kind of catchy, in an embarrassingly cheesy manner, though.
