Felix the Cat and his three mischievous kittens sneak into a movie theater, eager to watch "Daddy" on the silver screen. Thrown out for causing a ruckus, Felix decides to become a filmmaker himself. His directorial debut takes an unexpected turn when the kittens capture footage of him kissing a bathing beauty. The incriminating film finds its way to Felix's wife, turning a home movie screening into a domestic disaster of epic, silent-era proportions.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This 1927 silent short delivers a clever, self-referential satire on filmmaking and domesticity. Felix, usually the agent of chaos, finds himself victimized by the very medium he seeks to master.

What lingers after the final reel is a playful warning about the perils of home movies and the subversive power of the camera in tiny paws. A gem of meta-humor from animation's early years. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Otto Messmer

The frantic buzz of a makeshift studio, punctuated by silent-era slapstick and the dread of cinematic betrayal.
