Felix the Cat in Neptune Nonsense (Van Beuren 1936)

20th Cartoon in the Van Beuren Rainbow Parade Series

[@riannadominguez396]

His little voice is too cute🥰

[@geoffreyrichards6079]

The same actor who would later go on to voice Sherman in the Peabody & Sherman segments of “Rocky & Bullwinkle”, funnily enough.

Oh Felix! I don’t remember how many times I got in trouble because I was mesmerized by your cartoons & late getting ready for church on Sunday morning 🙏😂👍

[@cityman2312]

What a sweet cat, taking good care of his natural enemies.

[@jacksongibbs8998]

Saw this one when I was a kid. All I could think about was how could Felix breath underwater. Still a good toon, then and now. Also, at 5:13, did anyone else notice that the mermaid was naked?

[@KraisonFrameworks]

Yeah! One of the things you don't notice when you're younger I guess, haha.

[@melissacooper4482]

I guess the same reason as why Mario can breathe underwater.

[@tsopmocful1958]

Well clothes would create too much weight and drag for swimming, wouldn't they? She was also trying to entertain and impress her 'boss'. And noone likes wearing wet clothes anyway. But thank goodness King Neptune kept his robe on for our sakes and for his own dignity as a ruler.

[@Lady_de_Lis]

Yeah, I think when you're a kid, it's basically the same as a naked Barbie doll. You don't think much of it lol I'm just surprised my parents never noticed. I watched this quite a bit when I was little.

[@Phippsta]

I remember my Grandpa showed me this on VHS when I was a kid back in the 90s. This cartoon was made the year he was born! As I recall, I remember at first having a bit of a bratty childish attitude thinking "Ohh, this is old"; but after watching it, I did quite enjoy it though, even if I did still think it was a bit slow. As an Adult though, I really like this, amazing old 1930s Music, and the Colour Pre-Snow White Animation was really quite ground-breaking for the time! And yeah, the Mermaid is naked ;)

[@animemangafan1987]

I used to watch this episode on VHS all the time when I was a little kid. I haven't seen any of the cartoon episodes of Felix the Cat in years 'til now

[@deckardcanine]

Back when toons had absolutely no regard for oxygen.

[@mevb]

It's called cartoon physics, the same as with cartoon characters run off a cliff and still run into the air until they realize they're standing in the sky and THEN fall (or in some cases manages to run as fast as they can before they can fall, back to the cliff).

[@ABlake77]

My brother and I had this cartoon in VHS, good memories from our childhood

It had a run in the 90s using the same kind of rubber hose animation found back when. Sadly, the cat just didn’t have the needed standing power.

[@buster3041]

@@ricardohuff8774Well at least their legacy lives on in characters that ripped them off and stole their thunder. The worst case being Oswald the lucky rabbit, mickey mouse and sonic the hedgehog copying felix hard. People praised mickey but he was just Oswald as a mouse. And what's crazy is that even when people acknowledge that fact they still act like Oswald was the pioneer of those inkblot characters having a personality and gags when, if you just watch even one felix cartoon, you'll see felix already acted exactly like how 100% of the leads in the inkblot era acted 6 or 7 years before those rip offs existed. I mean I still love those characters but we all have to be honest and admit that you can easily switch the characters from their own shorts to another and nothing would change.

[@ricardohuff8774]

Still got the vhs of this, now i do not have to dust it off thanks to you tube. Brings me memories felix needs more love, he also one of the oldest cartoon ever he 100 years old.

[@RoninCatholic]

This short was one I watched on repeat so many times during my childhood. VHS tapes of it and a few others were cheap and widespread (I believe this short was in the public domain already by that time? The laws have changed many times so it's hard to tell). When I later went back and saw the silent version of Felix who was more of a roguish scoundrel, and noted that Felix and his wife had kittens in some shorts, I basically chalked this nicer but more hapless later Felix to being the son of the original. The Twisted Tales Felix can be a later generation still, hearkening back somewhat to the original's tone.

[@truthisfreedom6492]

So let me get this straight, before the reboot of the cartoons in the 1950s, RKO-Radio Pictures was responsible for making the cartoons in the 1930s. Also, back then there weren't worms for bait like the ones we have today. So they used apples for bait? Good thinking, Felix!

He's an anthropomorphic cat. That's all cartoon logic. It differs from real life. Why do think Mickey Mouse has Pluto the pup as a pet, while his friend Goofy is also a dog but walks and talks and drives a car?
