The Magic Bag

The first episode of the 1958 Felix the Cat television series, created by Joe Oriolo. Felix strolls through the countryside carrying his Magic Bag of Tricks, a shape-shifting satchel that can become anything he needs—an escalator, a canoe, a picnic table. The Professor, watching from his laboratory, becomes obsessed with stealing the bag and uses a shrink ray to reduce Felix to miniature size. But the bag has a mind of its own, and Felix's ingenuity proves more than a match for the Professor's gadgets. The episode introduced the Magic Bag concept that would define the series across its 260 episodes, with Jack Mercer providing Felix's voice. The series is in the public domain.
