born 90 years ago the famous Felix the Cat, created by Otto Messmer. And he was born before many other famous cartoon characters, because it came before the very Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, but also long before Porky and Popeye or Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker and the Flintstones.


The famous black cat has entertained several generations, and remains in force in popular taste, because unlike other cartoon characters, is less aggressive and are characterized by their foolish actions and because he had more lives than a cat itself.

Even the Fato Felix did not emerge as the most, because it was born from a comic strip. Even been since 1919-when was this character-the first ever to be sold in large quantities in baby oil, or stuffed animals, but also had his own brand of cigars.


initially was not very good and the other because he could not continue in film, only through the comics, but by 1960 began performing a series of color cartoons, which by the way, the cat was characterized let alone ever. However, in 2004 the firm introduced Cartoon Network "New tales of Felix the Cat" where they can be heard speaking.

In the history of Felix the Cat appointment was born in 1919, yet in the film archives are short of the character from three years earlier, as "Motor Mass and historical flivver," plus "The love affair of Hima Knutt "and others where there is cited the cat in the title short, but even in 1919 in "Feline Follies" and more specifically as "The Adventures of Felix" also in 1919. Since then, all titles of over 175 shorts that were filmed, are named Felix.

El Gato Felix was even one of the cartoons that were projected onto the mobile cinema that always appeared at the Feria de Colima when attached to which was the sports unit Ignacio Zaragoza, where today are the legislative palace, in front of Stone Lisa.


charged 20 cents to cast 4 or 5 short cartoons, but always included Felix the Cat and Woody Woodpecker.

After the birth of Felix the Cat character on the big screen, then got its transition to the role, the first comic strip published on August 1, 1923 in England.

Later, Messmer's protege, the young Joe Oriolo began working with the character, to give it a new personality and the image that for many years we know it.

In the 50's Felix the Cat debuted on television and in the 80 Joe's son, Don Oriolo, produced the film "Felix the cat, the movie."
