Felix the Cat in Bold King Cole (1936)

2016-02-27 3

Although considered a Felix cartoon, this short seems to focus more on the boisterous king and what happens when ghosts try to get him to stop his bragging. Felix the Cat is perched in a tree playing his guitar and serenading himself and a canary with a little ditty called Nature and Me. It is a beautiful day but Mother Nature, perhaps not a music lover, whips up a lightning-laden thunderstorm and Felix is soon seeking shelter. He finds it at the castle of King Cole, a boastful, fabricating blow-hard. The Kings ancestors, tired of hearing the braggart, come out of their pictures as ghostly specters and take the King to the dungeon and pump the gassy hot-air out of him.\r
