this short be one of the best of all time and be proof ( just like most of charlie chaplin work ) that sound and color be not requirement for quality work . in fact and this cartoon use ( and may have start ) some of the gag and device that become standard in animation in late year and like caricature of celebrity ( include the afore mention chaplin . while the character be silent and they do speak and by use of word balloon and just like in the comic . give that felix start out in newspaper a a comic strip and this device be a natural . the atmosphere and style of the short be completely harmonious with that of the comic strip while add another dimension ( literally and figuratively ) and make this short a delight to watch . well worth take the time and effort to get . most highly recommend .
