For a predominantly silent series with more than 150 titles, this is an amazingly short list of missing cartoons.
Unfortunately, a huge number of survivors—to the best of my knowledge—have only one remaining copy. Many also survive only in foreign prints or poor condition home movie prints.

Thank you David, and don't forget that some only exist in color! Like Mr Do All, it isn't listed on your site as an existing b/w print.

Mr. Do-All (JACK FROM ALL TRADES), like the other R&TVP cartoons, is an ASTRA TV print and probably exists in b/w in R&TVP's collection, and possibly in the basements or attics of people who saved TV station prints. I'd consider it existing [somewhere].
I'm forgetting offhand if an original version is around.

What about 1919-1936 Felix on DVD?

[Tom Stathes]

There are a few DVDs floating around from various distributors. I'd do an Amazon search.
Don't forget to check out the selection on my website either. :felix:
Remember, DVDs of material of this age will be of varying quality due to a lack of available print sources.

Amazingly, several of the Paramount FELIXes have survived including the first, FELINE FOLLIES. One of the Winkler titles, FELIZ ALL PUZZLED has circulated in a shortened version. I believe I had access to one of the remaining complete versions and transferred it to digital media for inclusion in BEFORE WALT. The print was already delicate, warped and brittle, with deterioration at the end. We did our best with it inspite of these flaws, and it turned out to be one of my favorites on the DVD. A year after the transfer, I was informed that the emlusion had left the film base entirely. So I managed to catch it in the 11th and 1/2 hour before it was gone forever.:felix:

I had a print of FELIX FANS THE FLAMES pass through my hands in the 80's- I didn't know it was a rare one back then! It was a silent 16mm print, beat up. I've been looking to see if I somehow transferred it to tape (as I did with a lot of films back then), but so far haven't found it.....

So I managed to catch it in the 11th and 1/2 hour before it was gone forever.:felix:Good for you and us! Felix All Puzzled wound up being a favorite of mine on Before Walt as well.

Hope your planning a Felix release - similar to that of the Out of the Inkwell set.;)

Ray's version of FELIX ALL PUZZLED is as good as it gets. Quite possibly my favorite Felix cartoon of those I've seen (though GERM MANIA and FELIX FULL O' FIGHT are up there, too).
