Reviews
The reviews were mixed to negative.
"A hectic mix of well-known drawing styles that develop into a banal fantasy adventure."
“With cleverness and daring, the little tomcat Felix blossomed into the biggest star of cartoon cinema in the 1920s. The German-American attempt to revive animal adventures in color in 1989 was unfortunately a reach in the litter box. When Felix fights with an extraterrestrial princess for the well-being of her home planet, instead of charm he just exudes hectic pace. Conclusion: cartoon legend in hangover mood. "
