Felix the Cat

Felix the Cat is a funny animal cartoon character created in the silent film era. The anthropomorphic black cat with his black body, white eyes, and giant grin, coupled with the surrealsim of the situations in which his cartoons place him, combine to make Felix one of the most recognized cartoon characters in film history. Felix was the first character from animation to attain a level of popularity sufficent to draw movie audiences. Felix the Cat was also drawn by Australian cartoonist/film entrepreneur Pat Sullivan, then American animator Otto Messmer, Sullivan's lead animator. The theme song of Felix went like this, "Felix the Cat, the wonderful, wonderful cat."

The original voice of Felix the Cat was Mae Questel, who played Betty Boop and Olive Oyl. And then Jack Mercer in 1958.
