Is Oswald the Rabbit (and, subsequently, Mickey Mouse) a rip-off of Felix the Cat?
John Evans
i do wonder who the first person to draw an animal in the black-body-white-face style was.
Xavier Wood
the UM&M TV Corp copyright date is MCMXXX but some comments seem to say this is from 1924: youtube.com

Don't forget about Julius the Cat and Bosko.
Jacob Taylor
Not to confuse with Felix, wink wink
Hudson Price
it's weird how soon in film history they mixed live action and animation. the alice comedies are from around 1925 aren't they?
They got pretty good in the 1930s with some of the Fleischer Screen Songs
never quite got to roger rabbit levels though

Krazy Kat 1913. The face is not canocally white (it's light beige in the color prints), but the comics were printed mostly printed in black and white, which created the style
The concept was fucking surreal for a classic american cartoon
>Ignatz hurls (the rat) aways throws brick at Krazy Kat, who misinterprets it as an expression of love. They both have a weird romantic relationship based around this
>The characters speak in a weird poetic made up language full of slang, like in Clockwork Orange
>The characters are not clearly referred to by sex pronouns, the character made a lot of weird explanations about Krazy being a magical creature that is both somehow

wow. non-binaries in 1913 eh? crazy made-up language eh?
there used to be a collection of fake 1900s cartoons called the "Laugh-Out-Loud Cats" that was like "what if lolcats but old-timey?" I guess they needn't have bothered.
here's a film compilation that claims to be from the 1920s: youtube.com
looks like they had both gender-non-conformity, and whining conservatives who couldn't handle it
watch out y'all, the Hays Code comin'

fuck off tumblrite

It's not symbol language, but it is definitely an odd language— probably not as weird for 1913 but still an odd drawl.
Hudson Hall
Nope, they were just the style and humor that was common at the time
Now Julius the Cat, that was a Felix rip-off
Dylan Carter
>Remember seeing a video of Koko with him singing
>Remember him sounding like Puddles Pity Party
>I'm not even close
Why must my brain do this to me?
Julian Parker
Kind of? But then again, Felix was basically an animated version of Charlie Chaplin
Sebastian Hernandez
There was absolutely nothing racist about Bosko, the closest is the jungle short but he's never played as a stereotype
Owen Kelly
There was on YouTube a fully recorded live performance of the rare short "Felix The Cat Flirts With Fate". It seems that it occurred on this festival:

It has been gone for some time, if anyone what I'm talking about and has snatched that video please post it. The short was amazing, and the music performance as well.
Thomas Flores
Yes.
Evan Clark
Hate when that happens
