loraleejessome I like Felix the cat. Never mind Mickey Mouse, Felix was really the first cartoon character to actually have a personality. But sadly Felix is one unlucky black cat, and this movie is real proof of it. If really deranged animation is your guilty pleasure, I know it's mine, then by all means watch this because it makes Ren and Stimpy look like Filmation. But if you like animation where the protagonist doesn't laugh at dead people's remains or say "woah" every two seconds in an annoying voice, and the characters' dialogue actually makes sense at least 90% of the time, then better leave this one in the bargain bin. I read that Dreamworks now has the rights to Felix. Maybe they can do better with computer graphics than this movie did.
Stompgal_87 Felix the Cat was a cartoon character I was somewhat familiar with as a child. When I was browsing a list of Nostalgia Critic episodes on Wikipedia, I was surprised to stumble across this film since I never knew it existed. I watched his review of this film on YouTube and it started with a repetitive outburst because he found it horrendous. I disagree with him to some extent because there are some parts of this film that were better than others after also having seen this film on YouTube.This film started off fast-paced due to seeing a fair amount of the first half in the Nostalgia Critic's review; however halfway through the pace began to slow down. There were also a few moments that made me think, "What's going on?" such as a fox cub looking as if it's about to pee on Felix's bag; Felix pointing at a skull, laughing at it and pulling a funny face at it (some may find this disrespectful); and Princess Oriana appearing with her hands over her face during the wacky show scene. There is also a minor use of scene repetition such as when Princess Oriana dances in the bubble and Madam Pearl watches out for her. Before this scene, I found Felix's jokes a tad lame. I agree with TheLittleSongbird with regard to the ending since I also thought it was rushed. The animation is consistent for the most part, but it is quite rapid when Felix tries to catch Orinana's tear due to the noticeable motion blur. In terms of the lip-sync, it was out of place about halfway through, but I saw it as a result of how the film was uploaded since some videos I've seen on YouTube had lip-sync problems. As for the sound, some of it did drown out the dialogue. Felix was the star of this cartoon, but I also liked Princess Oriana and her change of heart towards him. Overall, this film wasn't as bad as the Nostalgia Critic said in spite of its uneven pace and inconsistencies with sound and lip-sync. 7/10.
rorymacveigh 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!
new_concept_ This movie, ever since i was a kid, was strange to me. I never really understood this film, but i loved it anyway. I liked the way they ACTUALLY put an interesting villain (Duke of Zill) and good yet simple enemies (the Cubes and Cylinders). And last summer i found the VHS tape for a few dollars, so i bought it and watched it again. This time i understood the story, a princess in danger i knew that, i just didn't know why or how Felix ended up in Oriana, but now that i understand the story more, i give the story a solid 8 out of 10. Just a few small adjustments and fix up the script a little, but thats about it. This is my only favourite cartoon movie that i can watch over and over again because of the characters, originality, use of effects and animation (The Cylinder and Cube lights) and i like the way they put their own music in. Songs like the one you hear at the circus "Who is The Boss" by the Duke of Zill? Ya, that always made me want to watch it. A reason why the Duke of Zill is a good villain is that the movie actually explained and told you about his history, that he is the princess's uncle and why he became a robot, doesn't leave the audience hanging. And so, i give this movie a perfect 10/10.
