First National Pictures (1928–1929)
[edit]It is unknown if new Felix cartoons were produced during this period or if First National (sister company Warner Bros.) only redistributed earlier Felix cartoons.[3]
Sound films
[edit]Copley Pictures (1929–1930)
[edit]Copley Pictures was the first distributor to issue Felix cartoons with sound. There were 12 originally with sound, and 16 reissues, for a total of 28 cartoons.
Sound reissues
[edit]A number of silent Felix cartoons were also re-issued by Copley at this time, with their intertitles removed and sound added. Newer simple titles were also inserted in most reissues and the lines of the characters were cut, which removed signs of Educational Pictures copyrights. Jacques Kopfstein was hired by Pat Sullivan to add sound to the film, a practice common in the end of the silent film era, with films that received such treatment known to some as "goat glands". All Felix shorts that were re-issued in sound have post-synchronized soundtracks (the soundtrack was made to match the already-existing film). As a result, the synchronization is not perfect, and there is occasionally an audible delay between the action and the sound effect.

| Felix the Cat Saves Christmas | October 12, 2004 (video) |
In Felix the Cat Saves Christmas, Felix along with his magic bag of tricks must stop the Professor and Rock Bottom from ruining Christmas. The Professor plans to use his diabolical snow-making machine to create the biggest blizzard the world has ever seen. If his scheme works, Christmas will be canceled for sure. Felix heroically sets off for the North Pole to help Santa, but Felix will need every trick in his magic bag.
