Welcome to another installment of Your Saturday Bowl of WTF! Today’s entry is a lost classic of the golden silent era: Felix the Cat in Germ Mania, from Otto Messmer and Pat [the rapist] Sullivan. We at ThadBlog are proud to be parters with Stathescope (the archive of Tom Stathes) so we may present this product of absolute sheer genius.
This is an example of a “good WTF.” It’s what animation is all about; an exploitation of the human imagination, and an emphasis on unique funny drawings and movement. I defy anyone to name an animated film made in modern times that even comes close to having the amount of pure fun seen here.
And Felix.. what a great character! I would have to say after sampling a good helping of [surviving] silent cartoons that the cat is the only one to have a really shining and interesting personality. His contemporaries can be amusing and entertaining, but Felix is the only one that lives and breathes (and dies). And none of the endearing characters in cartoon history that came after can deny they took a page out of the feline’s book.
Oh, and enjoy the Official Films soundtrack too!
