Felix the Cat is an American animated television series featuring the cartoon character of the same name.[3][4]
Like The Van Beuren Corporation before, Joe Oriolo gave Felix a more domesticated and pedestrian personality, geared more toward children, and introduced Felix's now-famous item of the "Magic Bag of Tricks", a satchel that can assume the shape and characteristics of anything Felix wants, and several new main characters such as Felix's arch-enemy, The Professor and his cigar-smoking bulldog sidekick Rock Bottom. The cartoons are divided into two parts, with the first part ending in a cliffhanger resolved after a commercial break.[5]
A second Felix series, The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat, aired on CBS in 1995–1997.[5]
