Felix Grabs His Grub

About This Movie

Felix Grabs His Grub is a delightful piece of early animation from Otto Messmer, showcasing Felix the Cat in his charming, mischievous ways. The film captures that whimsical tone of the 1920s, where slapstick humor reigns supreme. It's fascinating how Felix navigates his breakfast quest, facing off against a variety of sea creatures – a turtle, an octopus, and a shark, all rendered with that unique hand-drawn animation style. The pacing is brisk, keeping you engaged as each scene unfolds. The practical effects, especially in the underwater battles, reflect a playful creativity of the time. There’s a certain light-heartedness and absurdity that sets it apart from later animations. It's a real treat for collectors who appreciate the roots of cartooning.
