Felix the Cat meets the Mischievous Ones

A programme of 7 animated short films / 49' / 35 mm / no dialogue

The adventures of two comics characters:

Felix the Cat, created by Pat Sullivan for a cartoon in 1917, became a comic book in 1923. A kind of feline Charlie Chaplin, he is a resourceful, imaginative, lively cat. Sometimes whining, sometimes quick-tempered, but always caustic, this tenacious cat faces trouble with a frown but never lets go.

Peter (Péteris in Latvian) is a mischievous, naughty kid, the main character of the series "The Naughty Ones", inspired by German illustrator Wilhem Busch's comic books.
