Production notes

A total of 260 cartoons were produced (this is not the entire list).

Trans-Lux, at one time involved in theater chain management, went into a contract with the representatives of Pat Sullivan (the original animators) for theatrical rights to Felix the Cat.

Some television markets kept the series running as late as 1970.

Title song:

Felix the Cat,
The wonderful, wonderful cat,
Whenever he gets into a fix,
He reaches into his bag of tricks.

Felix the Cat,
The wonderful, wonderful cat.
You laugh so much, your sides will ache,
Your heart will go pitter-pat
Watching Felix, the wonderful cat.
