MoMI presents four restored Felix the Cat cartoons from 1927–28. Watch Felix travel to the bottom of the sea to source a string of pearls (only to be chased out by the angry mother oyster), fashion a straw out of a yard of stolen pasta, attempt to court Juliet (as Romeow) while dueling another suitor and a group of musical animals, and, after a failed outing to the cinema, make his own movie, capturing some unintended mischief.
This screening program is on view in the Museum’s core exhibition, Behind the Screen, inside Tut’s Fever Movie Palace, a working movie theater and artwork by Red Grooms and Lysiane Luong.
