Best condition transfers on FELIX THE CAT AND OTHER CARTOON TREASURES are "Tom Thumb" and "Ali Baba." The balance are in generally fair condition, i.e. faded colors, splices and an occasional dark print. The earlier Felixes are SULLIVAN works. Other shorts here are primarily VAN BEUREN and POWERS studios.

This DVD is packed with 90 minutes of laughter! It contains Neptune Nonsense, bold King Cole, Felix the Cat & the Goose that Laid the Golden Egg, Felix the Cat In Love.
I bought this item as I like the old Black & White Felix the Cat cartoons, and I was hoping to add to my collection at an inexpensive price. But when I first played the DVD, I was disappointed. There is no on screen menu so that you can go from one cartoon to another. Your only options are start, stop, fast forward to navigate to cartoons. There is no list as to what is on the DVD. I wouldn't waste the money. It's not worth it.
