Stone Making Machine is a 1959 Felix the Cat cartoon, and the 15th episode of the Felix the Cat (Joe Oriolo) series.
Tropes:
- And I Must Scream: Professor tries to pull this on Felix-—he tries to capture Felix and turn him into a stone statue with the eponymous machine. But when Rock Bottom goes off to kidnap Felix, he accidentally grabs a stone statue an artist made of Felix in his house (it was dark, so Rock couldn't see that well) and Felix, who thinks he's stealing his statue, trails behind him. They find out their mistake and capture Felix (who had snuck into the lair) and try to turn Felix into a statue for real, but Rock Bottom, who was supposed to keep Felix from stepping outside the machine, turns his back because he can't bear to watch Felix get turned to stone, which gives Felix a clear shot at an escape before the machine activates.
- Anything but That!: Later on, Felix is trapped inside of Professor's greenhouse, and Professor reveals that he's trapped in there with his man-eating plant, Leopard Lilly, news that Rock Bottom reacts with horror to.Professor: Stop, Rock! Leave him to Leopard Lilly!Rock Bottom: No! No, boss! Not Leopard Lilly!Professor: Yes, Leopard Lilly!
- Even Evil Has Standards: When Rock thinks he's captured Felix in a bag (actually a statue of him) and Professor is about to turn on the machine, Rock breaks down in tears at the idea of turning Felix into stone. Professor comforts him with a pat on the back and a pep talk that it's for the better of mankind. Later on, when Felix is trapped in Professor's greenhouse, Rock Bottom reacts with horror when Professor reveals Felix is trapped in there with his man-eating plant, Leopard Lilly—although he laughs along with Professor at Felix's misfortune not a minute later.
- Man-Eating Plant: Felix unwittingly goes into Professor's greenhouse to evade Professor and Rock Bottom, unaware that Professor has a nasty surprise waiting for him in the form of a carnivorous plant named Leopard Lilly.
