Pat Sullivan



Pat Sullivan

Australian cartoonist, pioneer animated and a film producer. He is best known for the first Felix the cat silent cartoons. After years or refusing to turn Felix the cat to sound, he finally agreed to and let them add sound to an already created animation. Feline follies (1919) - the Felix film.

Felix the cat was originally a drawn cartoon, each frame was drawn our separately. After drawings are cleaned up they are then photographed on an animation camera, usually on black and white stock. Felix the cat originally started out as a magazine. Pat Sullivan changed the way cartoon were seen. They also sold Felix the cat merchandise. Felix the cat was one of the longest running cartoons there has ever been.
