BONUS: Van Beuren Studios' Felix the Cat (1936): The Felix the Cat series fizzled out in 1930, after failing to properly incorporate synchronized sound techniques. But the cat came back in 1936, for three shorts made by Van Beuren Studios and distributed by RKO. These were supervised by ex-Disney animator Burt Gillett, who had directed some of the best Silly Symphonies like Flowers and Trees (1932) and Three Little Pigs (1933). Gillett made Felix into a childlike character with a boyish voice provided by Walter Tetley (later to play Sherman in the 'Mr. Peabody' segments of The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends.) More of these new Felix shorts were in the works, but all plans were dropped after RKO suddenly stopped distributing Van Beuren cartoons in favor of a deal with Disney. By 1938, the studio was totally defunct.
