I first saw this cartoon on Turner Classic Movies. Later, I wanted to see it again so I found it online but noticed that the great opening credits were missing--try to find a copy that is complete, because the way Felix steps out of the cartoonist's pen onto the screen is very clever and cute.
Felix is playing baseball in the street with his friend. Felix hits the ball so hard, it flies away and the cop thinks the boy was responsible for the damage so he gives chase. The chase is VERY surreal and involves the use of photos and cartoon--very simple but very effective. Eventually, in a VERY bizarre fashion, the boy is caught and jailed--so he can't play in the big game. His team is being beaten horribly until Felix comes to the rescue.
For 1922, this cartoon abounds with smart and funny scenes--often by inserting cartoons into real film footage. However, be forewarned that the way the Black characters are drawn is very stereotypical and will no doubt offend many. But, if you accept that this was the norm for the 1920s and can look past it, this is one exciting and well-made short film.
