The TV Felix Filmography
(1958-Present)
The first Felix TV series was produced in 1958 by Otto Messmer's former assistant, Joe Oriolo. It introduced Felix's famous Magic Bag of Tricks as well as popular characters like The Professor, Vavoom, Master Cylinder, and Poindexter (named after Oriolo's lawyer). Episode titles come from Jeff Lenburg's Encyclopedia of Animated Cartoons; I have corrected a few typographical errors.
A more modern TV series came in 1995 with Film Roman's Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat. Thanks to Phil Roman for our checklist of the 1995-96 episodes, to which I've added some summaries. I haven't seen every episode, though, so the synopses aren't complete; nor is the series' 1996-97 second season included (yet). Anyone who'd like to add plot data or other information is welcome to email me.
