They touch on practical effects used in the early animations, which is fascinating for anyone into classic cartoons. It’s got a certain charm, showcasing not just the character but the cultural impact he had over the decades. The performances, if you can call them that, are more about the archival footage and narration than anything else, but it feels authentic and engaging.

This documentary short is part of the Felix the Cat Collector’s Edition DVD, which adds a bit of rarity to it.
