Felix the Cat as Romeow is funny from beginning to end! The best one I've seen so far. It begins as Felix is riding his bike to a fair maiden's castle. When he arrives, the smoke from his bike carries him to the fair maiden's balcony. While Felix woos with his banjo, his rival is on his way on his horse. As he arrives, he challenges Felix to a duel but not before he squeezes his horse like an accordion! They use swords. Felix manages to cast his rival's sword out so the rival uses an ostrich's beak instead! After that ends, Felix wanders out and comes to a flower, blows its petals out and turns it into a microphone! He sings to it which comes out of the fair maiden's phonograph. A duck comes behind Felix and quacks into the mic causing the fair maiden to use some kind of medicine to feed her speaker and Felix to tie the duck's beak with a handkerchief! The duck goes to his father who unties the handkerchief which then becomes a rabbit that hops away! The duck's father than tries to confront Felix who keeps kicking him away. The father duck then uses the mic to preen as if looking in a mirror! Then a donkey comes and licks the mic before dropping it. Then a mouse comes and turns the mic into a unicycle! Felix then goes back to the castle and uses the tire from his bike as some kind of viewfinder to eye his maiden. He climbs back up to find the maiden and his rival in embrace. He then finds two megaphone shaped things and uses one of them to shrink his rival to mouse size! Felix then embraces the maiden as we iris out. I'm sure there are some gags I've neglected to mention but trust me: This short is quite hilarious! It's also nearly perfectly synchronized with sound effects and music which I'm thinking came from a reissue since it came from a year that The Jazz Singer was just premiering. By all means, seek this one out!
