The Felix the Cat Movie

 The Felix the Cat Movie  is a 2018 American computer-animated comedy action sci-fi film based on the titular cartoon character of the same name. Being distributed by DreamWorks Animation, it was directed and written by Chris Sanders and produced by Bonnie Arnold and Chris Miller. The film stars Charlie Adler as Felix the Cat, an anthropomorphic black cat who finds himself transporting back in time to a robotic scrap land built by Professer Nutty-Nut Meg, and along with princess Kelly Scott, must save the land of Doriono. Alongside Adler as Felix, the film also stars Steve Carell, Christina Ricci, Jaleel White, Tom Kenny, and Tim Curry.

After DreamWorks Animation acquired Felix the Cat from Don Oriolo in June 2014, it was announced that a Felix movie was in talks, and set for a release in 2016. But after the box office failures of Mr. Peabody & Sherman and Penguins of Madagascar, the film was removed from DreamWorks' release shedule. In early 2015 though, the film was confirmed in development and Lilo and Stitch director Chris Sanders was announced to direct and write the script. After three years and nine months in development, the film was finally finished in early 2018, when the first teaser trailer was released. Michael Giacchino was also announced as the music composer.

The Felix the Cat Movie was originally sheduled to release on November 9, 2019 as part of Felix's 100th anniversary, but after DreamWorks Animations' deal to release two films a year, it was pushed back. It instead released on November 9, 2018 for Felix's 99th anniversary. It was a box-office success, grossing $612 million on a budget of $120 million, and received acclaim for critics, praising its characters, animation, writing, score, and direction. A sequel, titled Felix the Cat 2, was released in 2023.

 * Charlie Adler as Felix the Cat: an anthropomorphic black cat who finds himself in the robotic land of Doriono, and is sent on a quest to save it. Adler reprises his role as Felix from the 90s cartoon, The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat. Sanders' first choice of Felix was to have Adler voice him, seeing how much people loved his voice from the cartoon, as well as in other media.
 * Steve Carell as Professer Nutty-Nut Meg (aka The Professer): A evil mad scientist genius obsessed with world domination. In the year 3000, he completes this mission and turns it into a robotic scrap wasteland and his own kingdom. Carell watched early Felix the Cat cartoons and loved them. To prepare for the role, Carell spent weeks studying the Professer's voice from the 1950s cartoon.
 * Christina Ricci as Kelly Scott, a white cat who meets Felix the Cat and has her own resistance group consisting of five people. Ricci was one of over two thousand people who auditioned for the role of Kelly Scott, and won it after the director found the charm, wit, and sassiness in her voice. Ricci spent over the course of a week recording her voice lines.
 * Jaleel White as Mark Bark: A German Shepherd dog who is apart of Kelly Scott's resistance group, who volunteers to help Felix and Kelly stop Professer Nutty-Nut Meg. White went through several auditions, trying to find the perfect voice, in order to be cast as Mark Bark, when his original voice actor quit. Tom Hanks originally voiced Mark Bark and recorded all lines of dialouge, but due to sheduling conflicts, he was fired, and soon after was replaced with White.
 * Tom Kenny as Pointdexter: Professer Nutty-Nut Meg's smart and intelligent son who is also his henchman. Pointdexter invents many things, including the Magic Bag of Tricks, which Felix later inhabits. Kenny recorded his lines of Pointdexter at his home.
 * Tim Curry as Master Cylinder: An evil intelligent cyborg created by the Professer, and the secondary antagonist of the film. Master Cylinder, compared to his 1960s appearance has longer legs, his metal cylinder suit is more grey, and has more abilities, such as guns and armor and mech. Curry worked with Carell in the recording studio to give the Professer and Master Cylinder a more sophisticated dynamic.
 * Josh Gad as Bex Loggs: A long and big lizard who is apart of Kelly Scott's resistance group hidden from the Professer and his robotic minions. Bex has a wound on his shoulder after getting shot one time, but is optimistic and is the one who gathers resources for the group, including food, water, and accessories.
