Superb cartoon.Not seen Felix for years. The music is fantastic. I won't wish you Happy Halloween as I never have anything to do with it….. over commercialised nonsense! But I hope you have a lovely weekend.
Now making preparations for the little darlings. Tonnes of sweets, plenty of cobwebs, a few ghoulish masks, a grumpy old Cro, and platefuls of Lady M's Brownies. I'm looking forward to November 1st.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
I love those old cartoons! It's strange to think that the bit of film you shared is almost 100 years old!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween, and may you have only treats in store--no tricks! :)
I love the simplicity of Felix..... Genius.

ReplyDeleteI was just thinking the same thing about the music. very refreshing.
DeleteSuch great music!
ReplyDeleteSee above!
DeleteThat brings back memories !
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, the jazzy music is great too.
Is it Ragtime?
DeleteYes, I think so. That falls under jazzyness for me.
DeleteI'll go for otherwise. I didn't like the music either.
ReplyDeleteYou're hard to please; especially at Halloween.
DeleteLovely - I especially like the 'meowing' violins in the intro.
ReplyDeleteThe more I listen to the music, the more I like it.
DeleteI am listening to the music for the 3rd time!!
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteHalf a time was enough for me.
DeleteThe animation is simple and the music is great.
ReplyDeleteWhat more could you want!
DeleteBlessings me dear.
ReplyDeleteThank you m'dear.

ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention a very loud screaming soundtrack; which even frightens me.
DeleteLoved Felix!!!
