Felix the Cat: The Movie is an animated film based on the eponymous cartoon and comic strip character. It was made in 1988, but was not released in the United States until 1991.

The film opens with an introduction by Felix, who is rendered in CGI. The model also appears throughout the film's ending credits. The rest of the film, however, is rendered in hand-drawn animation. The animation for the film was produced in Hungary.

The film was a staple of Disney Channel's programming roster during the 1990s, and was released in VHS format by Buena Vista Home Video on April 12, 1994. As of 2009, it has only appeared on DVD format in Great Britain, Bulgaria and Serbia.

Summary

Felix the Cat is summoned to the aid of Princess Oriana whose evil uncle, the Duke of Zill, has just taken over the kingdom using his army of robots.
