April Maze (1930) *
A sudden thunderstorm ruins Felix's picnic. There are also dancing flowers, hopping bears and flute-playing rabbits. A boring, slow-moving cartoon.

Woos Whoopee (1928) *****
This surrealistic masterpiece is Felix the Cat's finest film and a superb example of the "American Graphic" style of design. Party animal Felix, returning drunk from the Whoopee Club, imagines every object as a blood-thirsty wild beast.
Comicalamities (1928) ****
Felix's demanding girlfriend sends him in search of pearls and furs. Tired of fighting with sea monsters, Felix finally grabs the cartoon girl and tears her up. Certain modernist gags from this film were a clear inspiration for Chuck Jones' masterpiece, "Duck Amuck" (1953). Directed by Otto Messmer.
Futuritzy (1928) **
Felix wants to find out about his future, but neither a Gypsy fortune teller nor an eminent astrologist, manage to make correct predictions.

Felix In Germ Mania (1927) **
Felix is looking for milk in a laboratory full of strange creatures (including a golf bug and a love germ). Reduced for a while to a microscopic size, he's later chased by an unlarged (and enraged) insect.

Felix Dopes It Out (1925) ****
Directed by Otto Messmer and produced by Pat Sullivan. Felix sails to the South Sea to find a cure for a red nose, encountering garlic-hating sharks and baseball-playing monkeys.

Felix In Hollywood (1923) ****
After many complications (involving shoes and bubble gums), Felix finally comes to Hollywood and tries to imitate Charlie Chaplin. Fast paced, very inventive cartoon directed by Otto Messmer.

Felix Saves The Day (1922) ***
Felix's baseball team looses its best player, but the mischievous feline saves the day by provoking a huge rainstorm. Fine silent cartoon, ingeniously mixing live-action and animation.
