Summary: Don't waste your time or your money
Review: Anyone that watched Felix the Cat on a daily basis as I did in the '60s will undoubtedly enjoy the sheer nostalgia of these cartoons. Having not seen Felix in many years, I was amazed at how familiar the episodes were. In fact, I found myself remembering the dialogue! As strange as the current "new wave" of cartoons may be, it's hard to duplicate the surrealistic quality that dominates the world of Felix, Poindexter, The Master Cylinder etc. The transfer on these cartoons, while not perfect, is certainly acceptable and no doubt superior to the scratchy films that have been shown on TV over the years. The episodes themselves are well chosen, although I was a bit dissapointed at the absence of the cartoon featuring "Big Brownie". Any chance of sequels to this disk? I'm not aware of how many cartoons were created, but I'm sure there are more than enough to fill another disk or two. My kids are hooked, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this disk to anyone with fond memories of Felix and his strange adventures.

Summary: Felix The Cat... The Wonderful, Wonderful Cat!
Review: Finally, another classic from early childhood! The DVD contains ten episodes, including an 11th if you get 8 or more trivia questions right. The images are very good considering the age of the material, and the audio is adequate (if not better than our old 60s TVs) for it. The only complaint I have is that the material seems to have been pulled from another source because the chapter numbers don't match the episode numbers (there are some numbered in the 20s!)! Other than that, pick it up and hopefully we'll see more 60s fare like Speed Racer, Gigantor, Mighty Heroes, etc!

Summary: Felix The Cat, The Wonderful, Wonderful Cat!
Review: Finally, the Felix cartoons from the fabulous 50s on DVD! There are 10 episodes on this DVD (which seem to have been culled from other sources) and they're a pretty good mix. There's the Professor, Rock Bottom, Poindexter, and the Master Cylinder (who was human once until he blew himself up - never knew that), but I wish they had included VaVoom! The production quality is very good, although the episode numbering is strange - as I said before they probably pulled these from VHS. There are episodes that number in the 20s yet there are only ten on the disc (with an 11th shown only if you get 8 or more trivia questions right)! In spite of some production issues, if you're a kid of the 60s that watched Felix along with Underdog, Gigantor, Speed Racer, Bullwinkle et al, pick this one up. Hopefully there will be more!!

Summary: Felix is funny
Review: I vaguely remembered Felix the cat from when i was growing up and decided to give this DVD along with "The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat" a try. I watched this one completely last night and I loved it. All of the episodes were funny and entertaining. I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of cartoons of this era.

Review: If you long for seeing anything about Felix the Cat, this CD is for you. Otherwise, if you're expecting a true "Collector's Edition," don't waste your time and don't waste your money.Given that this was a DVD, I was expecting to see several classic episodes from Felix the Cat. Instead, this DVD only contained one hour (or ten episodes) from the series. DVDs can hold at least two hoursr of material.... this was a great disappointment! I was really disappointed because many of the things that made the series special were missing:
* no va-va-voom!
* only two five minute episodes with the magic bag
* only one episode with Master Cylinder
* only two five minute episodes with Rock Bottom
* only one and a half episodes with Poindexter This is not a "Collector's Edition." It's just a random set of episodes that someone put together to make a quick buck.

Summary: Yes
Review: The first in the series. Very nicely restored. If you like Felix, this is a must. If you are curious, rent it first.
