Coin Story
Felix the Cat had a very humble beginning as a curious and mischievous little cat conceived by New Jersey cartoonist Otto Messmer. His first public appearance was in a 1919 short film called “Feline Follies”. Soon Felix was playing in every silent movie house in the world…he was suddenly an overnight sensation!
Felix made the transition to print when he appeared in over 250 newspapers, 70 different languages, reaching practically every corner of the globe.
He was even the first image ever broadcast over television airwaves. In total Felix appeared in over 100 silent cartoons throughout the 1920s and 1930s. He is surely one of the most popular and enduring animated characters!
