GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

rorymacveigh I think this film wasn't actually meant to be a film at theatres, nor was it meant to be a kids film at all, but in fact was meant to be an American Torture weapon for captured Soviet Spies who suffered from epilepsy. In fact, I don't think you need epilepsy to suffer some really rotten memories from this one. Let me put it this way, its cheaply made, its poorly animated, the dialogue is crass, the sound management sounds like it was done by a 3 year old banging away at the console, the movie never knows when to stop making noise for a few moments, the images seen are enough to leave children mentally scarred and the story is practically non-existent.Let me break it down. First things first, the problems with this film can be found within the first 2 minutes. One, the animation is a joke, with the dialogue and the lip movements never matching up, as well as it not having any rhythm, like every other frame was left out to save on cost, so it makes the whole thing rather jumpy. Two, the sound management is totally unmanaged. There is too much speaking and most of the time its pasted over someone else's dialogue whilst that other person's dialogue is much more important. It's like it's afraid that if the noise stops for a second the viewers will lose all interest. Also, background noises are for some reason given priority over the dialogue as most words can't be heard over a trivial sound in the background.Three, the characters are just stupid. The Princess is a complete Bimbo who disbanded her army even though the threat of invasion by her uncle loomed over them. Felix is mentally sick, laughing at the dead and talking to himself. And everyone else is just there to make noise and make this movie justifiable, with none of them really making any pivotal points in the story.As for the story, I don't even want to go there, you folks can try and figure it out, as for me, I have much better things to waste my time on rather than fathoming out what some idiot in Broadmoor could have written in half an hour.Overall, its a miserable excuse for a film, it's just a waste of animation and film time. I don't think any child would find this enjoyable, and if they did, I'd have them see a Psychiatrist pronto!

TheLittleSongbird I watched Felix the Cat: The Movie for the first time today expecting it to be terrible, as I had heard people say it was bland, uninspired and an insult to children. After seeing the film, I was surprised at how much I liked it, even with its problems. As a lover of animated movies, I will say I have been better, but I have also seen a hell of a lot worse as well.Felix the Cat: The Movie was overall an enjoyable if somewhat unexceptional animated film. There are some moments when the animation is nice, with some pretty colours and I liked the animation on the robots and Duke of Zill. And I thought Princess Oriana was absolutely beautiful. But it is also rather inconsistent as well, there are parts in the more dramatic parts when some objects become static and the lip synching is sloppy on occasions. I had no problem with the story, I loved the concept, it was original and quite unique and the film started off really well. But it is in the latter half when the film does drag, but the real bummer was the rushed, abrupt and misplaced ending that could have been so much more.There are many good things though. The music is great, with wonderful haunting incidental music and the music with Oriana dancing in the bubble was gorgeous. The song "Who is the Boss" is also delightfully catchy, it is strange but in a good way and it is intriguing as well. The story moves along quickly, yes there is a plot even if it is rather strange in places, and there are some humorous moments whether visually or audibly. The dialogue is fun, it isn't bland or sappy it has humour and it made me laugh. I liked Duke of Zill's dialogue, and I liked the character as well. He was underused, but I loved how he was animated, how he was voiced and I loved his flashback back story explaining who he was and how he became to be the way he was. Felix is a protagonist who may grate to some, but I think he has a likable and endearing personality and the voice didn't grate on me. In fact, the voice acting was very well done, Peter Newman was superb as Duke of Zill and Wack(who you don't trust at first but you do sort of like later) and Maureen O'Connell at least emotes. Chris Phillips is good as well as Felix, and Alice Playton(Blix from the 1985 fantasy film Legend) is decent as Madam Pearl.Overall, not a perfect animated film, but even with its problems, it was enjoyable. 7/10 Bethany Cox

TheUnorthodoxFox I remember watching this on VHS as a kid, and even then, it seemed odd. So, when I got the chance to watch it again, I had to take it and confirm that, yes, even before I developed any sort of taste, there was a reason You've got: Colliding art styles: Felix retains some of the start-stop jerkiness often found in old cartoons, while the princess shows some (but not quite enough) fluidity. The rest of the characters are bouncing, flailing, late-'80s style messes. Ugly as sin, and made worse by repeated scenes, which only get uglier the second time through. For a kid's movie, why the heck is there a scene with mutant seahorses trying to attract the attention of a pair of legs by flouncing their boobs about, and a gag where a young fox is straining to pee on Felix's magic bag?There's almost no plot. It's more like a series of events that just kind of happen, but never once feels tied together. It doesn't make sense, not in a surreal and zany way (cf. Yellow Submarine), but in a wholly pointless one. There's no depth of character, either; they're all just things moving around on a screen, without motivations or logic or plot.Presumably, the Professor and Poindexter characters are a tie-in to the old show, but they add absolutely nothing to the movie. In fact, there's a number of scenes that don't seem to do anything besides take up time.The audio frequently fails to match up with the animation, from the music scenes to voices. And voices are regularly obscured beneath the score and sound effects. But that's okay, because voice acting ranges from apathetic to obnoxious to hammy and overblown. Not that there's much to say. If there's not a groan-worthy line exposition occurring, there's a constant babble of lame puns instead.It's watchable as an animated train wreck or distraction for kids with undemanding tastes, but an animated classic it is not. Oh, the songs are kind of catchy, in an embarrassingly cheesy manner, though.

Salazar I must be one of the very few people who was born in the 90's (the movie actually came out the same year I was born) who never saw "Felix the Cat: The Movie". I just watched the movie from start to end on YouTube yesterday for the first time (much thanks to shatteredeve for uploading it) and I was quite impressed and I overall like it. While it does start of weird and I didn't think much of it at first, by the time I was watching the 4th part, I was really starting to enjoy it. Here's the story for "Felix the Cat: The Movie": Felix travels to another dimension to the land of Oriana, where the Princess (who's also called Oriana) needs Felix's help. Princess Oriana's uncle, the evil Duke of Zill, has overthrown the Princess and is ruling the beautiful and tranquil land of Oriana and has turned it into an industrial nightmare and has built an army of sinister mechanical, geometrical robots. It's up to Felix, Princess Oriana, Poindexter & the Professor (who followed Felix into Oriana),Pim- a man who captured Felix and sold him to Wack's circus but later befriended Felix, and two Mizards (hybrids of mice and lizards) to stop the Duke of Zill."Felix the Cat: The Movie" has a mixture of good and bad points; here is a summery of the good and the bad aspects of "Felix the Cat: The Movie" The Animation: Without a doubt the biggest bad aspect of the film. "Felix the Cat: The Movie" has a clash of good and bad animation (but more bad than good) as well as some horribly done lip syncing in some parts. Also at one point, the characters are trekking through a cave and rocks fall down, yet Princess Oriana looks up and screams BEFORE the rocks come down (though this may also tie in with audio.)The Climax: As blueflower_phoenix has written, the climax is rushed and misplaced. I also agree with blueflower_phoenix that a much more better and challenging climax was planned, but were strapped for time, so they just threw in a very short climax where Felix throws a book at one of Zill's robots, which decimates the entire army, and the Duke of Zill fades away saying "I'll be back" (also, it sounded like that the line "I'll be back" was voiced by some one else other than Zill's voice actor)Audio: "Felix the Cat: The Movie" does have a good, clear sound in general, although you may have to do a double take in some parts 'cause the audio is a little unclear and in the Goofs section it says that Wack doesn't talk in English, but rather another language at one point. There's also the part where Princess Oriana looks up and screams before the rocks come down, as mentioned in the animation summary above.Music and Songs: Most definitely the biggest highlight. "Felix the Cat: The Movie" has some of the most beautiful music and songs ever in an animated film. Not to mention, downright catchy! I don't know the name of the music that plays when Princess Oriana is dancing in a bubble at Wack's circus, but it is absolutely gorgeous and very "Labrynth"-like. "Who is the Boss?" is the best song in the whole film; it's so damn catchy and you just want to sing along to it! The scene that it plays in is a strange yet intriguing and well done one inside Wack's Circus (a few minutes before Princess Oriana's dance); the Zillions all sing and chant that the Duke of Zill is their boss and it's a scene you just have to see with your own eyes.All in all, although there's a majority of badly done animation, some audio problems here and there and the rushed climax, "Felix the Cat: The Movie" rises above the cut of its imperfections and is a terrific film in general. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it an 8.
