Featured review
Some might see this one as very racist while others might not.
In this Felix the Cat cartoon, Felix hangs out with Uncle Tom and Topsy...dancing to Tom's banjo music. However, the evil Simon Legree keeps showing up to break up their good time. Time and time again, however, Felix gets the best of him.
In some ways, I could see this film giving folks today coronaries. Aftee all, Uncle Tom and Topsy are drawn in a very stereotypical manner---with giant lips and looking not quite human. This demeaning style however is confusing because the content is actually quite different in tone...these are good folks and Felix is helping them. Confusing to say the least.
Quality-wise, this cartoon is just okay. Disney would soon bring out Mickey Mouse and the quality of these shorts were better in many ways--with much better and smoother animation. Additionally, the music and sound effects I heard in this short were NOT originally in the films but were added later...and the sounds of the characters were very crude and not particularly well integrated. Overall, mildly enjoyable.
