Felix The Cat In Forty Winks (1930) - Sleep Tight, Felix

About

FELIX IN FORTY WINKS is a silent short animated film featuring Felix The Cat. It was directed by Otto Messmer who also did the animation. It was released on January 1, 1930. The crude sound represents the state of post-dubbing in the late 1920s/ early 1930s. The cat protagonist serves as a conductor to four singing cats. Meanwhile at a house, a man is napping on a chair but gets awakened by them. To silence them, he takes out an ether sprayer and showers its spray onto the cats. While his friends fall into a snooze, Felix tries have his sleep, but finds trouble wherever he goes.
