Felix The Cat - Felix Revolts 1923 original classic animation

The early cartoon animation produced by Pat Sullivan. Felix is digging through a barrel looking for food but cannot find anything to eat. He says Not even a bone! Theyre trying to starve us cats. He walks around the corner and finds a fish market. He makes sure nobody is around then tries to sneak a fish out of a fish barrel. However he is caught and beaten up by the store owner. Felix is kicked away and lands by a restaurant serving lunch. He sneaks up on a man eating spaghetti. The cat begs for food but the man refuses. Finally the man gives in. He feeds the cat a dab of mustard. Felixs mouth catches on fire and he runs out of the restaurant in pain. He runs up to a lake and drinks all of the water in it which gets rid of the fire. Angry Felix comments that they treat us cats like dogs. Felix stops by the town hall. He overhears some people in the building saying Cats are useless!! Also I say cats are a nuisance! and So let Scat the Cat be our motto. Surprised he runs over to the window where he hears a man saying Therefore be it resolved that we starve these feline pests out of our town. Infuriated Felix decides to get the gang and talk with them about this. He runs onto a water pump and whistles. Many cats come running out of barrels and water pipes up to Felix. Felix tells the cats Are we going to stand for starvation? He continues to gesture. Weve had a dirty deal long enough! he continues. The cats say yes. Felix suggests So lets make life miserable for them! That night Felix gathers many cats onto a fence. As conductor he orders them to meow. The people are annoyed. The next day Felix digs a hole with a shovel. He picks worms out of the pile of dirt and puts them in a can. He walks over to the fish market and lets the worms free. The worms dance and the fish follow them to the dock where they jump into the water. Next Felix walks over to a group of rats. They run away but Felix tells them that the town is yours--were all on strike. The rats steal cheese from the grocers drive children out of the school house terrify a small girl grab a man by the coat and chase another man. The people call for help from the cats. The cats consider this a victory. The cats walk up to the town hall. Exhausted the mayor gives them a treaty reading: Whereas-- This town being overrun with rats.
