studio before, Oriolo gave Felix a more domesticated and pedestrian personality, geared more toward children, and introduced now-familiar elements such as Felix’s Magic Bag of Tricks, a satchel that could assume the shape and characteristics of anything Felix wanted. The program is also remembered for its distinctive theme song, written by Winston Sharples and performed by 1950’s big band singer Ann Bennett:
Felix the Cat,
The wonderful, wonderful cat!
Whenever he gets in a fix,
He reaches into his bag of tricks!
Felix the Cat
The wonderful, wonderful cat
You’ll laugh so much your sides will ache
Your heart will go pitter pat
Watching Felix, the wonderful cat!
Felix the Cat
The wonderful, wonderful cat
You’ll never know what he’ll do next
So don’t even try to take a guess
Felix the Cat
