Talk:Felix the Cat/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"On November 9, 1919, Master Tom, a character resembling Felix, debuted in a Paramount Pictures short entitled Feline Follies.[1] Produced by the New York City-based animation studio owned by Pat Sullivan, the cartoon was directed by cartoonist and animator Otto Messmer. It was a success, and the Sullivan studio quickly set to work on producing another film featuring Master Tom, The Musical Mews (released November 16, 1919)"

Man, that must have been one hectic week. Premiering a film. It becomes a success. Making a second film and releasing it exactly seven days later. (Ub Iwerks, eat your heart out.) Someone may have their dates wrong, or the two films were produced after the success of the film "The Tail of Thomas Kat" (released March 17, 1917).

Either way, it is clear they took their time making the fourth film, "The Adventures of Felix", (released December 14, 1919).
