How many times did Peking Duck appear in the show, anyway? I figured he'd be a big deal with his booming "SHOWTIME!" moment in the title sequence, but I only ever saw him in one episode.
Blame Joe Oriolo. He hated the new villains so he had them supplanted with his dad's creations
Joe is really running Felix into the ground
all the shows problems can be pointed at Oriolo, hell some of the best episodes outright made fun of him.
i used to think felix was voiced by a chain-smoking MILF when i was a kid
Why didn't they hook him up with the Beatnik girl?
I wouldn't call "do absolutely nothing with the property for decades" running it, maybe someday someone who actually cares will buy the rights.
because a ton of the episodes jokes were about Felix doing stuff for ladies, giving him a girlfriend would make those episodes akwards.
Case in point:

You can savor the hate the writer's room had toward 50's Felix, bless their hearts
Guess they wanted to go with the friend of opposite genders dynamic and not a romantic one like everyone does not
Not a bad choice for a pairing with Felix however
Because they usually had that generic Jessica Rabbit-styled cat for his love-interest instead.
Charlie Adler is close enough.
because don "coconut fred" oriolo loves the shitty 60's cartoon because his father worked on it, and despises Twisted Tales
I would kill to see Don's reaction as he watched this episode for the first time.
I like these depictions of the villains
Weird that she isn't waifu'd more, her style is all over the place and it's charming.

From which version of show is this opening?
This is what I was watching as child.
Fifties.
She's very underrated and still manages to pair well with Felix
Great show. The off-the-wall humor style is really different from the usual wacky tone most cartoons adhere to. Back when it was airing, I actually only saw it a few times, but I sure remembered it.
I'm actually glad they didn't. When 2 characters are friends, writers tend to feel totally free with what they can do together, but when they're a couple, writers tend to constantly address it. With "gotta impress my gf," "forgot about anniversary," "gotta get to the date on time," etc cliches, or annoying "look how cute they are together" crap. I just want fun characters being entertaining, and this show delivered!
I wish more reboots would be this bizarre.
I remember that my mom loved this show when i was a kid
She has good taste
There are a bunch of crazy stories about the production of this show, and I wonder if any of them are true. Like, is it true that one director wanted the show to be like R. Crumb, or that the writers took potshots at Oriolo?
the spanking gag is even creepier 70 years later
Compare the show to Cuphead.
Man they wernt subtle with the gay jokes
when i was growing up in the 1980s, they ran Felix the Cat cartoons at like 5:30am and I watched every morning. they were the old 50s and 60s ones. and I loved them so much.
they changed the schedule and I was literally crying at school, and it was worse because I was just old enough to know that I really shouldn't be crying about reruns being taken off the air. I must have seen shows get cancelled before, right?
i had no idea there was another show on in the 1990s. I think I caught an episode when I was all teenaged and grunge-disaffected and didn't care anymore about anything. Animaniacs was doing all the inkblot throwback we could handle anyway.
gen X were real lost weren't we
I keep meaning to re watch the Felix movie. What a trip.
I haven't seen every episode yet but the best ones I've seen so far are:
the ones directed by Lynn Naylor (with Stephen DeStefano as assistant director)

What does John K. thinks about that show btw? It seems like the wacky cartoony cartoons he says he only likes
Source?
>Pulls up a bra from the laundry pile
Jesus fucking Christ, who cancelled this show? I want to smack them.
I remembered they used to play this on CBS after (I think) Beakman's World, but I always turned away to catch whatever was airing on Fox Kids.
I kind of wished I had paid more attention to it, was it as good as you guys are making it seem?
>The Felix movie
Oh dear
The comic'll be out soon-ish.
i think i downloaded the felix movie in the kazaa days
I watched a few minutes of it. all I can remember was it was pretty bad VHS quality, and also Felix's voice was probably annoying... there was a human princess and her court and they couldn't balance the budget, like they were trying to make it sophisticated.
I might try again, but I gotta admit, even though I grew up in the 1980s and totally dig vintage cartoons, I simply could not sit through the entire Totally Minnie special front-to-back. maybe the Felix movie won't be so bad because it won't have any white-girl-rapping.
Cute, thank you.

He shoulda fucked the cactus.
Oh yeah.
>He shoulda fucked the cactus.
You... usually don't get full cheeks like that on a female cartoon character. That's like Dexter's Lab tier booty.
OK I'll stop.
>Walrus mount in the desert
This show was wacky in the right ways
>70 years later
what? Twisted tales was made in 95
the series is just 24 years old
for a while the series was considered lost media until a german dvd set was found (thats why all the titles are in german), now you can find the whole series on torrent.
I can't believe this became lost media. Let me guess, Oriolo?
yep, there was very little distribution on vhs, and some episodes were outright lost, and even if found at best they would had the fate of series like Migthy Max and Captain Simian and the space monkeys as been only available in grainy quality, the german dvd set pretty much saved the show from being incomplete and let it be available in a decent quality.
That's too bad. Cartoon Network Latin America used to rerun this every sunday for almost a decade.
I don't know why but as a kid i really hated Felix.
the 90s were so shit
yeah i remember that, didn't they gave Felix like two different VA's in this series? I remember tha latam version having some episodes with a higher pitched Felix but others had something closer to the english voice.
This shit is hilarious. It's been years since i watched this show, did it always look this choppy or was this part of the joke?
>did it always look this choppy or was this part of the joke?
The latter episodes had a smaller budget compared to earlier ones. The choppiness in some of the animation is a result of this.
>rock bottom is a bear
>he’s a furry mr slave
Nah, it was the same guy, I guess he changed the pitch of his voice since Felix had a different voice per season.
years later
>what? Twisted tales was made in 95
>the series is just 24 years old
the gag is somewhat older
>if the magic bag has a butt, does it poop?
Don Oriolo is the son, and the one that co-created Coconut Fred, Joe was dead before the movie was made.
Hilariously it seems Don edited his own wikipedia article because it talks about how succesful and awesome he and his music carreer is and how succesful Felix was under his management.
I just watched an episode of 50s Felix, yep it sucked balls even for the standards of the time all TV cartoons were cheaply done.
Man, when I was a kid I used to love 50's Felix. No, I have no idea why. I'm baffled even now.
no :(
Felix is too surreal for Animators to handle.
>Episode revolving around Professor and Rockbottom drags Felix of the 50's through puddle of shit to hell and back
>Episode revolving around Master Cylinder feels like a 'regular' Twisted Tales episode: youtu.be
Why did the tin can receive special treatment compared to other 50's villains from Felix cartoon?
God I wish that was me
m.youtube.com
They had a phoney felix which was a big parody of the 50s felix
I love this show.
CBS executives that have either retired or left the network
Also Google needs to fix their captcha
ah sorry i thought you meant the show
Me too
Fpr some reason, I really like the voice actor for season 1. There's something...almost calm and sincere about that voice. Is it normal to feel like that?
>The Battle Of The Superbrains
Holy shit, why have I never seen this show until now? That was fucking comedic genius.
Did felix become public domain yet?
It's more cute sounding yes. Charlie Adler has this assholeish tone to his voice.
Yeah, adler is always ickus to me. Also, this voice sounds like a Ranma Satome to me,which is why I really like it. I have never heard of this felix the cat cartoon, but IM getting some ren and stimpy vibes from it.
It's way better overall, in my opinion.
>Montage of animation studios he gets kicked out of
>Scumco
Ha
we got 1923 back
In this specific episode some of the choppiness is intended to better mimick the 50's series it's shitting on
It's kid friendly alright. As a kid you're much less picky.
I suppose that even if they were forced to include him it was a character they saw actual potential for, same with Poindexter
This is kinda weird, i makes me feel like i don't like it at first and then it gets hillarious and i love it.
Mark really just flat out gave a double deuce to Don.
It really is a poor man's New Adventures of Mighty Mouse
That episode with a reference to "Neptune Nonsense" from 1936.
youtube.com
Yup
We are reaching meta levels that shouldn't be possible.
>New Adventures of Mighty Mouse
You watched that show lately?
Watching oneself on TV is actually pretty tame for Felix's standards.
On that note, one of the few misfires in Twisted Tales (maybe the only one?) is an episode where Felix and a rat fight over a pencil that can materialize anything it draws. Plenty of time is devoted to the setup of how such a pencil came to be, then Felix and the rat spend the whole episode drawing stuff inside a garbage can. Not only is the setting ridiculously limited, but the premise of a pencil that materializes shit is something the world of Felix should take for granted; the episode even ends with Felix making a pencil off his tail, rendering the supposed wonder of the pencil moot.
It was 3D paint and a brush, plus a dumpster instead of a garbage can. All else is correct though.
