%%* WidgetSeries

''The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat'' is an [[UsefulNotes/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation 1990's take]] on the classic WesternAnimation/FelixTheCat series, being an attempt to return the series [[WesternAnimation/FelixTheCatOttoMessmer back to its roots]] after decades of using the [[TheFifties 1950s]] [[WesternAnimation/FelixTheCatJoeOriolo Joe Oriolo portrayal of Felix.]]

-->--[[WidgetSeries The entire series summed up in a nutshell]], from "Surreal Estate"

* MonumentalTheft: Taken UpToEleven in "The Earth Heist", where the '''entire planet Earth''' is deflated like a balloon and stolen by a giant spaceship belonging to an intergalactic repo company.

* SpiritualAntithesis: The animators intended the show to be the polar opposite of [[WesternAnimation/JoeOrioloFelixTheCat Joe Oriolo's Felix the Cat cartoons]] due to their hatred of that series and love of the original Creator/OttoMessmer [[WesternAnimation/FelixTheCatOttoMessmer Felix cartoons]]. Don Oriolo, Joe's son, [[ExecutiveMeddling forced elements from that show like the Magic Bag into the first season]], and [[DefiedTrope put a stop to this altogether with the second seasons retool.]]

** In "Wizards and Lizards", Felix encounters a TV executive who claimed that the previous scene was violent and kids wouldn't [[{{Parental Bonus}} get the joke]]. As she said, "We want the show to be edgy, we just need to take the fun out of it." At the end of the episode, she [[MoralGuardians berates]] Felix for putting Poindexter in the video game and getting revenge.

*** The Felix impostor is named Oscar, possibly a nod to Oscar and Felix from Neil Simon's ''Theatre/TheOddCouple''. *** At one point Oscar sings a small verse of the 1950s Felix theme song.

* DidNotGetTheGirl: No matt how hard he tries, Felix will never win Candy's affections, not ''even in his dreams''.

* DidNotGetTheGirl: Any attempt of Felix to gain Candy's or any other girl's affection is doomed to failure, ''even in dreams''.

** "Swedish Meatballs" is loosely inspired by the Van Beuren era Felix cartoon "Neptune Nonsense", to the point that the original cartoon is shown on a TV, and is what sets the plot into motion--the villain thinks Felix is using the cartoon to promote fishing at the expense of the fishes lives, even though the cartoon and Felix himself make it clear that he doesn't eat fish.

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: "Guardian Idiot" has a very BlackComedy-based one. In the first shot of the interior of the meat restaurant, in the background, you can see a woman sitting at a table with a boy. The boy is just sitting there while the woman wolfs down several hamburgers (actually, it's just the same animation of her eating two hamburgers looped a few times, but you get the idea.) Eventually, she eats all the hamburgers. Then she eats the plate. ''Then'' she eats the ''[[ImAHumanitarian boy]]''.

* ChaoticStupid: The Bermuda Triangle.

* CryingIndian: Appears alongside with Woodsy Owl and Smokey the Bear in the GreenAesop parody.

* AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle: Parodied at the end of "Black Magic Bag".

* BitingTheHandHumor: The second season had a lot of this due to the staffs dislike of the retool. "The Fuzzy Bunny Show" in particular is basically a big middle finger to then-series owner Don Oriolo.
* BillBillJunkBill: In "Star Trash", Felix's talking mailbox does this for him.

* BrooklynRage: Sheba.

* DerangedAnimation: Oh yeah.

* DreamWeaver: Jeepers Creepers (a parody of [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]]). Actually, according to this universe's physics, pretty much everyone has this ability--just jump into the thought balloon of a dreaming person (or out of your own dream balloon and into theirs).

* EverybodyLaughsEnding: "Surreal Estate".

* IncrediblyLamePun: Several examples in "The Punderground".
* JiveTurkey: Sheba.

* LargeHam: Felix's TV in "Shocking Story" doesn't seem to grasp the concept of an indoor voice and makes a scene over how easy the sentient lightning bolt got off over eating Felix's electrical appliances.

* LustfulMelt: When Felix sees Candy for the first time in "The Sludge King", he turns into a puddle of goo.

** The Butcher gets one in "Guardian Idiot". [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b36eu1uAA8E 40 seconds in, if you dare...]]

** Jeepers Creepers gets "I've Got a Lovely Nightmare for You" in "Nightmare on Oak Street".

* WeirdnessMagnet: Felix. [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight Not that he finds any of it really weird]].

* WorldOfChaos: Hard to describe where Felix lives any other way.

* YellowPeril: Peking Duck, a minor villain in the series, is basically a G-rated variant of this. He's named after a Beijing duck recipe and dresses rather exotically, and he has two sumo wrestlers as henchmen. Not to mention his feathers are literally colored yellow.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: PlayedForLaughs in "Guardian Idiot." Felix is playing ukelele for a small crowd on the street. When Felix finishes playing, he lifts the top of his head off to tip it like a hat. Seeing the exposed inside of Felix's head, the crowd screams and runs away (though nothing visceral is shown. The inside of Felix's head is just hollow.)

** He swells up again in "The Maltese Milkshake" when he eats and drinks all the ice cream and milk in the Fat Man's giant blender, [[{{Kevlard}} using his fat to protect himself from getting blended]]. He later spits all the milk and ice cream out to wash away the Fat Man's henchmen, returning him to his normal size.

* {{Kevlard}}: In "The Maltese Milkshake," the Fat Man puts Felix in a giant blender before slowly filling it with milk and ice cream, intending to turn Felix into a milkshake. Felix eats and drinks all the milk and ice cream in the blender, giving himself a massive BalloonBelly. When the blender's blades come down, they press against Felix's belly, having no effect other than spinning him around until he is thrown out of the blender.
