Felix The Cat 1959 The Gold Fruit Tree

A short film

[@ZakWolf]

The episodes that Jim Tyer animated, including this one, are always fun to watch.

[@richardranke7878]

Many people underestimate Jack Mercer because the only regular character voice he did for Paramount Cartoons was Popeye.However,he did very many incidental voices-including King little of Lilliputt(Gulliver's Travels),Smack the Mosquito(Hoppity Goes To Town)and more.When I first learned he did all the voices in Felix the Cat my estimation of his talents shot up high!

[@FelixScottJr]

Thanks for posting. My name is Felix as is my son's, my father's, his Uncle's and my cat's name.

[@roach8645]

Thanks for posting this cartoon. I last saw it 52 years ago when 4 years old. ( And I remember it.)

[@jonimaar__2023]

Hi there . R u still alive????

[@fromthesidelines]

Originally shown in two parts- around the 3:30 mark, there was always a "cliffhanger" in which Felix faced some dire enemy or a certain fate; then, Jack Mercer would mysteriously intone over the end title, "What will happen to Felix...in the NEXT exciting episode, of the adventures of Felix the Cat?". Producer Joe Oriolo used a "package" of stock music cues Winston Sharples originally wrote for Paramount's theatrical cartoons between 1952 and '59. That's why it sounds "familiar".

nice trip down memory lane. i actually saw this as a child in the 1970's.

I had a VHS tape of Felix the Cat, this was one of the few episodes on the tape. This episode was the first on the tape. Brings back memories when me and my siblings used to watch this when we used to live in Saugus.

[@sparkythetrashfangirlforhe5233]

I bawling we watch this on Netflix when I was 4 with my older sister I'm now 9 and my sister 13 Time flies

[@pbatommy]

Yes--Jack Mercer, who was also the voice of Popeye the Sailor.

[@bizzare7104]

pbatommy true

[@SteveCarras]

And animated in many places by the equally great Jim Tyer..

[@SteveCarras]

I haven't seen Rockbottom in a long time. "Hey Professor"...Note Rockbottom isn't always consisten with his address, honoring the Prof.with "Boss", since that's what Professor actually is to him. "Hey...BAWSSS!"

[@parkman35]

Whenever he gets in a fix, he reaches into his bag of tricks...if life were that easy...

[@SteveCarras]

Felix showin' off his plants is accompanied by relaxing strock production music from Winston Sharples from his longtime Paramount-Famous VIs Vis Harvey Films, as seen in"DAWG GONE"(Famous-Harvery). WHen the big bug grabs Prof.anmd Rock music from "PATRIOTIC POPEYE", the one after the spinach eating, that turns up when Famous did the multi-studio POPEES, is heard.

[@ChaoticPochi]

I wonder what it's like to be sucked up into a plant and to grow out as a berry. I miss the ages when cartoons didn't make sense or had strong plots, these were good enough.

[@Jerberjer]

"A gift...From the Sultan of Brooklyn!" hahaha

[@No0pe]

Most fav cartoon

[@d.t.simonbelmont]

I have a VHS tape of this with 8 Felix the Cat cartoons! Since I was 10!

[@HyperSonicSquall]

I caught glimpses of it as a young lad, but the most experience I had with Felix was a few comic books i managed to dig up while looking for Sonic the Hedghog and Animaniacs comics. But my greatest animation experience with Felix was in the early-90s movie... the title of which escapes me.

[@Crismis5]

omfg this is my childhood

[@TesslaBabii]

I'm 14 and when I was little I always watched Felix! It was in the late 1990's. :)

[@ageshero]

Hahaha, In the end, Felix got the "PUNCH!!!!!" line. GET IT? HAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HAH AAAAAA

[@MrReymoclif714]

This is the shtuff I craved as a child,no wonder my parents couldn't stand us. This is some primitive shit. Brings back memories.

[@ChristiRich]

Hurray for Felix!

[@jonimaar__2023]

@Israel Soares Cunha I'm wondering if he still alive or passed away 😔?????

* My brother and I thought of this song whenever my dad's pal Felix Katz dropped by. ☺

[@marlawhite1430]

What kind of lesson are they teaching here? Nice bug saved his life and he sprays it! If a bug saved my life he's my friend forever.

[@CeruleanFilms]

Oh my goodness... I have not seen this since I was probably six years old.

Not a terribly satisfying resolution. Although the bad guys' plan was foiled and they got walloped by Felix, the second bug took the gold plant and flew away. Felix didn't seem all that disappointed though, so I suppose it was alright.
