Sound films[]
Copley Pictures (1929–1930)[]
Copley Pictures was the first distributor to issue Felix cartoons with sound. There were 12 originally with sound, and 15 reissues, for a total of 27 cartoons.
Sound reissues[]
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, which removed signs of Educational Pictures copyrights. However, in some cases, original titles and intertitles were retained. Jacques Kopfstein was hired by Pat Sullivan to add sound to the film. This was done via the "goat gland" system of adding sound. 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.
