www . /watch?v=eXytuF644hE&t=2s Felix the Cat - Full Theatrical Restoration the Goose that Laid the Golden Egg
π΅ Oh, we take what we want and we want what we take
For we're pirates out hunting for treasure!
If we need any gold, we steal it away,
Robbing widows and orphans of pleasure!
We fight with our hands, we cuss and shoot,
We're mean and we're bad from our hats to our boots.
We take what we want and we want what we take
For we're pirates out hunting for treasure! π΅
Lyrics of Pirate Kid from " Felix the Cat - The Goose that laid the Golden Egg (1936) '
.+.+.+.+...WARNING this chapter has Major Character Death!...+.+.+.+
β
Ponidexter then heard younger Felix's voice.
" So your wake, Sir! Wait here I'll go get the doctor! "
Felix and Goldie the Goose ran off into another room in the house.
That confirms it Ponidexter was in past time again!
in the past with the 1930s Felix!
Does that mean Meeting Krazy-Kat was all a dream?
Or Alex,?
Alex the cousin of Felix?
Or being attacked by giant Fish?
No!
It was all real!
Younger Felix confirmed he knew Alex!
Ponidexter then pulled something out himself!
It was Krazy-Kat's yellow Umbrella?!
So It was, all real!
Ponidexter really did meet Krazy-Kat!
But how did He pull the Umbrella out of nowhere?!
Note to viewers: ~( Ponidexter didn't know it at the time, but he just used a regular TOON Power! Called 'The Hammer Space' where a Toon keep's a Hammer to fight Enemy's! Only the Umbrella took the 'The Hammer Space's place! Bugs Bunny and the looney Tunes use 'The Hammer Space' all the time. In way this 'The Hammer Space' is like a TOON's super power! So if Ponidexter is starting to Recognize he's a Toon not a human. 'The Hammer Space' is good start. And lets not forget Felix can pull his Magic Bag out of nowhere. So most likely Felix is most likely using the 'The Hammer Space' aswell! )~
But Ponidexter's question's and thought's where interrupted, he heard some footstep's coming to the door. Ponidexter had to hide the Umbrella under the bed cover's. just in time before Felix came into the room.
" I got the Doctor! "
Felix said out of breath said.
The gruff voice said.
" Stop it Felix I'm not even a real Doctor! "
Ponidexter turned his head and he was surprised at who he saw!
. + . + . + . + . + . + . + . + . + . + . + . + . + . + . + . + . + . + . + . + . + . + . +
Ponidexter's Prov.
And
Felix's Prov.
It was Goldie the Goose!
Goldie the Goose flew into Ponidexter's bed with a happy honk! And snuggled with Ponidexter!
There was a small 'brown' Dog who about the size of younger Felix who looked rather scruffy on four paw's then the Dog spoke.
" Beside's Felix he's a human! And most humans cant understand Animal talk! "
Felix argued, " I really did communicate with this human Guy Toon even if he couldn't talk! And my magic allows me to talk to human's! You know that Frisky! "
The now dog named Frisky, " I know your magic sometimes works for Human's to understand us! BUTβ your magic doesn't always want to work! And you really think He's a Time traveler from the future? And He's has a spell put on him that make's him not able to talk by your cousin Alex?! "
" Frisky, I know it's hard to Believe...β"
" β-Hard to Believe! Felix this isn't ' H. -The Time Machine!~ ' Stuff like that cant happen! "
" Ive Time Traveled before Frisky! And He looks like the real deal! An look at what I found in his pocket! "
Felix held up a quarter to the dog, Ponidexter, now knew was Frisky.
Ponidexter Realized Felix had his quarter!
Frisky looked bored at Felix.
" That's a quarter Felix.."
" But look at the year date on the quarter! "
" Fine I'll Look! β WHAT!? T-the date on this Quarter is year 2015! "
Felix in smug voice said.
" Now do you believe me! "
" Im sorry I doubted you... But Felix do you know what this mean's? Who else have you told?! "
" Only called the Professor Bop came to help heal the Time Traveler! The Time Traveler was injured very bad! Professor Bop was here before helping me fix his glass cuts injury. But since the Time Traveler is toon expect in week he will recover! Then I found the Quarter in his coat pocket! Then Professor Bop left for a another emergency! "
(Note: ~Felix is NOT talking about the 1970s Professor who is Ponidexter's uncle but the 1936 Professor Bop! The 1936 Professor Bop couldn't talk to Felix at first! but later learns to talk to Felix in the older comics! 1936 Professor Bop is tall with glasses and a beard. 1936 Professor later becomes Felix's roommate in the 1950s!)
++And++
(~Also in 1930s Felix lived in various house's with human's as a pet cat. One time Felix lived with Farmer Brown who was mean to both Felix and Frisky the dog. Felix has had many human masters since they kept kicking Felix out or Felix would get lost.)
" An I tried calling Kitty-Kat but she never answer's the phone like always. . . . And I cant talk to my human master Danny Dooit... even if he's a good human friend! Danny's a human who cant talk to animals! "
(Danny Dooit still thinks Felix is normal pet cat. Danny the human little boy never did talk to Felix with human speech.)
So the Time Traveler is awake right now and I need you to see if Our Doctor work was good enough! I was the Doctor at our Farm remember? but I don't know everything about being a doctor? "
( ~Felix has been a doctor before to the farm animals of Farmer Brown. And since Frisky is Farmer brown's dog. But Farmer Brown was a jerk most of the time. And every time Felix was around Farmer Brown's, farm he would try to kick Felix off the farm. )
Now knowing that Felix just wanted Frisky's help. Frisky agreed to just look at this so called Time Traveler.
Frisky sighed and face palmed his face and said.
" Felix why didn't you say so..I'll help"
The dog Frisky looked threw the door at the now awake young man teenager or maybe 19 year old in Felix's bed?
This was the so called Time Traveler?
He didn't look like a cool Time Traveler to Frisky, just a Nerd in glasses?
Thats when Felix realized, the Time Traveler had maybe listened to the whole conversation!
" Honk! " glared Goldie the Goose, Goldie was annoyed she was being ignored by Felix! At least the human made a good warmth! Goldie the Goose was curled up against Ponidexter!
Felix looked embarrassed like he'd been caught grabbing also stealing the cookie from the cookie jar from his human master's.
Felix rubbed the back of his head and blushed.
" Sorry Sir. Time Traveler... I took off your coat so I could see how bad you where hurt and we had to get the glass out of your knees and hands."
Felix handed Ponidexter his coat.
" I looked threw your coat to find if you had any paper's telling me what your name was. But all I found was this quarter from the future, empty note book, cool looking pen, Oh and this neat Pocket watch!
(I couldn't even open the watch mumbled Felix annoyed.)
" Here you can have them back! oh and your gray coat to! "
Felix hands Ponidexter his coat on his lap.
" Oh an your head was bleeding so we had to wrap that up! Oh an your hands where damaged pretty bad I had to bandage them up! Your thumbs are ok but your knuckles you shouldn't bend them in while. OK? "
Ponidexter nodded yes at Felix.
Ponidexter still couldn't take his eyes off Felix it was like he was trance!
And Felix was as clueless as ever to his secret admirer, who was very sad.
But Frisky noticed the Time traveler or Ponidexter's long stare at Felix.
Frisky the dog looked at the so called Time traveler human who couldn't talk?
It was like looking at something strange? but Frisky felt like something bad was going to happen Him or Felix! and this human was going to be the cause of it! And he didn't know what it was? Also the Human young man looked like someone he knew, but he didn't know who he looked like?! It was like major Deja vu?!
And why did Time Traveler keep on staring at Felix?! He looked at Felix sadly and with longing?
It was almost like?
Nope not going to go there!
Best to stay in denial then jump to conclusions!
" OH Sir. Time Traveler This is my friend Frisky the dog! Frisky this is the Sir. Time Traveler! "
Frisky folded his arms nodded his head and not a happy voice said.
" Nice to meet you Time Traveler. "
Ponidexter looked away from Felix to look at this grumpy dog Frisky. Ponidexter felt this dog was going to be trouble for him!
Like this dog was suspicious of his intentions?
" I guess theres no point in asking questions since you can't talk."
" Thats rude Frisky! we have to get him food first! and (maybe let him wash up cause he smells) then question him! "
Felix then turn to talk to Ponidexter.
" Can you get up? Or do you need help getting to the outhouse? "
" Honk? " Goldie the Goose wanted to help!
Ponidexter had hard time getting up so he lean on Felix and Goldie to walk outside.
Ponidexter didn't know what a ' outhouse ' was till he saw it for himself!
it was a little hut outside and in the hut was a deep hole in the ground where people go to the restroom! Yep 1936 didn't have indoor plumbing! Be happy you have flushing toilet! Cause the upper class only got plumbing in the 1860s and took longer for the lower class people to get a real flushing toilet!
Note from Author: In fact I once lived in house once myself like this without indoor plumbing toilet, so I would know! I also know back then most people didn't have indoor pluming. As a kid I grew up learning that I could die anytime falling down the toilet hole in the ground as I went to the bathroom out-house! Winter is murder since you don't want yourself freezing just to go pee! We are all spoiled little brats who have indoor plumbing! It's just like my Dad says if you cant tough it out then don't go in the woods! I now laugh when people can't handle the good old out doors! LOL!
So Ponidexter who lived his whole life with a flushing toilet and having No toilet paper back then so he was in shock! but he didn't complain couldn't complain when you cant talk. But his face did go threw the four stages of grief. First Denial, second Anger, third bargaining, fourth Depression, fifth then acceptance. Remember Ponidexter cant talk so his facial expression did all the talking.
After Ponidexter was washing his hands in a water Basin that everyone used! Now this was pushing it! They shared the washing Basin's!? Yes Everyone shared water! And No water pluming threw pipes! Only water pump outside! didn't they know about hygiene?! Nope! The germ Theory wasn't even made yet! The Germ Theory was made in the 1960s not 1930s! So If you didn't know this point in time in the 1930s was the ending point of great depression of America so yah! If your poor you share everything with whole family! :'D
Later Ponidexter learned Felix had to warm up the water in a big Kettle over the fire place. And put the water in small metal tub and that was the tub everyone was going to reuse the water to bathing in! Ponidexter did not want to bathe in same water with Felix or use the same water he used!
" Honk! " glared Goldie the Goose baths where supposed to be fun!
" Why you acting like this? I mean I hate baths to! But I don't know how you do it in the future! but HERE we share water! I have to warm up the water first before you can take a bath! I take a bath first since this is my house! I know your guest but I had to clean your blood and it's all sticky! I'll get the water kettle on the fire! We also have some leftover porridge. "
Felix earlier made the tub water dirty with mud and blood! Eew!
Ponidexter regretted his life choices!
But your not here to read about living life in the great depression era. So I'll skip Ponidexter having to take a bath with the same water Felix used to bath in! But Your here for a actual story not culture history shock! But im evil and enjoy this! Lol
Them Questioning the Time traveler didn't go so well for Ponidexter! Why? Well Ponidexter was having hard time holding the pencil because of his knuckle's where still banged up from them pulling most of the glass out.
Also the time difference was a problem some of the fairytales Ponidexter knew where only made in the future in his time line!
Also Felix didn't want to believe everyone had there own Theater in there house!
And Ponidexter didn't remember very well any FairyTails Or any fiction!
It was funny and Ironic Ponidexter mostly hated fiction, but using fiction quotes was his only way to Communicate!
Why did Ponidexter hate fiction?
well it wasn't real!
Ponidexter wanted facts and only facts!
For a long time Ponidexter believed Progress could Never be made with fiction or fantasy story's!
But when Ponidexter was kid, Felix used to read to him, fairyTales, Fiction books, watching fiction movies, and reading comics. that was there bonding time. Ponidexter would only read these thing with Felix so he could critic they story. Not cause Ponidexter enjoyed debating with Felix about those story's! Ponidexter thought he would never buy any of those's books himself! But Ponidexter even in those years not seeing Felix and living at that collage school. Ponidexter would Never pick up one Fairytale book's since they reminded Ponidexter of Felix! Back then he was denial of his loss...It was to painful to read Fairy Tales!
But Ponidexter felt like those collage memories where almost falling away threw his hands like sand!
Why was memory of collage hard to remember?
Did Ponidexter really go to collage?
It almost felt like the memory of going to collage was fake!
It was like Ponidexter had know idea things could go so bad till they did.
Later Ponidexter was in shocked whatever medicine Felix was using on his hands it was healing faster then they should?!
No Ponidexter didn't know it was because he was toon and Toons heal quicker!
But soon Ponidexter was getting bored after a few days of being at Felix's and Goldie the Goose house! he had read all the books in Felix's house even the cook books and even the farmer's almanac!
Sure it was cool he was back in time but he couldn't go anywhere!
So Ponidexter was in Felix's and Goldie house for few days he was bleeding on his hands and knees had stopped thankfully! Felix sill only let him go out side to the outhouse and nowhere else! And Felix would leave for hour's to do what he does most likely odd jobs? Only Goldie was left to take care of Ponidexter when Felix was gone!
Ponidexter had no idea what Felix was up to? Felix wouldn't talk a lot. The whole time Felix would be gone Ponidexter would be babysit by Goldie.
Ponidexter liked the Goose Goldie he was nice and he was helpful around the house when Ponidexter had a hard time holding thing's. Goldie soon became Ponidexter new friend. I was hard to make closer friends with this past Felix since Ponidexter kept on getting shy and blushing. Ponidexter would shaking fear around Felix. And Felix was starting to Suspect something was up. But every time Goldie was in the same room with Ponidexter and Felix it broke the tension. it almost seemed like Goldey was the Mediator or the middle man. Goldey was the one that help them all get along. So Ponidexter did not like being alone with past Felix.
It was scary...like a fun house mirror. . . .
Ponidexter didn't want to give to much away of the future! and yet Ponidexter wanted to say everything! There was so much to tell Felix!
But what if it ruined the future? Ponidexter wanted to tell Felix all about the future! But to past Felix, Ponidexter was a stranger who Time traveled and maybe met his cousin who wronged him! Felix had no idea there friendship and argument that ended the friendship forever! Felix maybe had a idea Ponidexter knew Felix. But why did Felix believe Ponidexter in the first place? Felix knew Ponidexter to come from the year 2015 thats decades away form 1936! How did Felix assumed That it was his cousin Alex who wronged him?
Wait a minute this 1936 Felix should be dead by 2015?
Is this past 1936 Felix really his Felix from the future?!
Ponidexter assumed this cat was the same Felix!
since they look so much alike!
But now Ponidexter is thinking clearer this doesn't make any sense!
Unless there was something Felix wasn't telling him?
Was this past Felix even really his Felix?
Heres the Possibilities Ponidexter came up with!
One: This past 1936 Felix is really this future's Felix great Great Grandfather?
Two: Felix finds a way to travel to his time and stays there? Since past Felix mentioned once he has Time Traveled before!
Three: This is the worst idea but I must assume all possibilities!
That Felix is really that old!
That would mean Felix really almost over a hundred years old!
And That is impossible!
But this past Felix felt and talked like Felix!?
Ponidexter would stare at past Felix wishing he could ask his questions but there so much you can say using FairyTales to communicate!
So there was no answer to his questions or Felix's questions! Felix gave Ponidexter more Fairytale books so maybe it would give Ponidexter more idea's on how to communicate or more quote's.
Out of Boredom Ponidexter read all the fairyTale books in Felix's house!
And everyday Ponidexter felt stronger!
What Felix is doing when he's away?
That Ponidexter did know?
One Felix asked Jupiter who makes it rain and the Professor Bop for help to help bring the Time traveler home.
Two Felix is leaving the house to go back a forth to Danny's world, to be his pet cat. Danny doesn't know Felix has a home in Fairy Animal world and that Felix can really talk. And Felix is getting tired of this double life.
But the peacefulness couldn't last...
Ponidexter was almost better! Being a Toon Human really helped recover fast!
A Loud bell rang like church bell but no happiness with Bell! Very frantic warning of Ringing!
Felix slammed open the Door!
" We have to run Captain Kid the Pirate he's Back for revenge ! " Felix ran threw the door slamming it behind him! Goldey honk and shivered in fear! Ponidexter gave Goldey questioning look. Goldey fearful face said it all, this Pirate was out for blood!
.+.+.+.+...WARNING Character Major Death!...+.+.+.+
There was no escape plan they ran Felix holding Goldie the goose while trying to help Ponidexter who was still limping and Injured!
Ponidexter wanted to tell Felix to leave him he was just holding them back!
Only when Felix looked into Ponidexter!
" It's ok nobody get's left behind! "
But promise's where meant to be broken.
Captain Kid the Pirate was coming for Gold and he wanted a Goose who layed Golden EGG'S !
The group of three ran into a corner!
Then the heard a gruff voice behind them!
" Thought you could Run away Little Goose you thought wrong! "
There he was a big Pirate Dog Captain Kid.
" Nowhere to hide!
Nowhere to run! "
" I... I ... wont let you hurt Goldie! " Shouted Felix!
" Wanna bet that?! " snarled the Pirate.
With the sword cutlass he held up the sword to strike them down and chop them the piece's!
Only for Ponidexter to block Pirate sword with the Krazy Kat's Umbrella!
The Umbrella given to Ponidexter by Krazy Kat!
Krazy Kat's magic made Umbrella unbreakable even to the sword!
" So you dare face me! The dreaded Captain Kid! "
In Ponidexter's mind he screamed!
" DON'T HURT MY FRIENDS! "
For a moment Ponidexter thought he was winning!
Then his bad luck happened once again!
I was like Ponidexter was ghost and disappearing or fading away! and the sword when right threw him!
Ponidexter didn't have enough time to look back before the sword hit his friends!
As Ponidexter screamed he turned only to watch as the sword cut threw?!
" NOOOOOoooooo! Felix! Goldie! Nooo! Don't die! " Screamed sobbed Ponidexter!
A voice squawked back like a echo!
' β- Whaaha...! Caw..! Caww..! β'
Only for Ponidexter to wake up on that red chair in that living room? Ponidexter looked out the widow there was fish swimming in the air?
Ponidexter grabbed his head in headache! Only to question himself out loud?
" No it was Dream again but what horrifying dream?! "
Silently Ponidexter tried to remember the dream he had! and who he saw but he couldn't remember it was like he had forgotten!
Then that voice again echoed.
' β- Boy what a Dream! β- '
Ponidexter looked up it was a Parrot with a colorful red, yellow green, and a little blue. The Parrot was sitting on coat hanger
" I don't need this now! my head hurt's! Where am I? Did I fall alseep on this chair? My head hurt's! "
'β-my head hurt's!β" The Parrot copied.
" Im have a hard time knowing what's a Dream and what is real right now?" Groaned sob Ponidexter.
' β what's a Dream? β-' Whistled the Parrot!
Ponidexter looked at the Parrot annoyed in glare. but then remembered the Parrot was only a Parrot.
" There's nothing you can do your only a Parrot.."
Once again the colorful Parrot repeated
' β-your only a Parrot!β-'
"It's not your fault you repeat everything I say right?"
'β-not your fault? β-' The Parrot made that one sound like a sad question?
Ponidexter lay back in the chair. Trying to not talk out loud since the Parrot will just repeat! Ponidexter figured the best get some food? But he not hungry? No maybe some water? Water wouldn't be bad?
"Are you thirsty Parrot?"
'β- Thirsty! β-' Parrot happily.
"I'll take that as a yes..."
'β- Yes!β-'
So got up from the red chair and looked around the house. Ponidexter found a sink with a old water pump. It took a while to pump the water out of the water pump. And Ponidexter filled himself a cup of water for himself. Ponidexter went back into the living room. But then Ponidexter looked at the Parrot. Felix always taught him to kind to animals who couldn't talk themselves. So Ponidexter pumped some more water for the Parrot. Ponidexter found a water bowl that said 'Laura' on it? Maybe Ponidexter could make friends with Laura. And hopefully he could figure out how he got here! Or make friends with the person who owned this house?
Who's house was this?
Maybe 'Laura' was the owner's pet of the house? Why was he in someone else's house? What if they came home to see a stranger in there house? Then Ponidexter looked at his side he still had the yellow umbrella that Krazy Kat gave him? Ponidexter thought was just a Dream?!
Ponidexter drank his water in a cup. Feeling refreshed Ponidexter, Then headed over to the Parrot Laura with water in the bowl.
Butβ wait!?
What if the Parrot would bite him!?
Be cautious Ponidexter spoke slowly.
"Hey, Pretty birdie? I have water for you ok? Do you want some?"
The bird didn't say any only seemed to nod. Ponidexter held up the water. The Parrot seemed poke at it, then took a drink. Ponidexter had to hold up the water in the bowl, for a quite a long time. Well just long enough for the bird to get enough water. The bird seemed to be done drinking so Ponidexter left water in the bowl on a little table...
What was Ponidexter doing?
"I don't know what Im doing?"
Ponidexter sat down again on the orange chair..
'βDon't know what Im doing!β" repeated the Parrot.
"How long have Ive been searching?"
'βHow Long?β-' Echoed the Parrot.
"I don't know?" Ponidexter was even more detected. "What does it feel like Im having a real conversation with a Parrot? You Cant understand what your saying right Parrot?" Ponidexter turned to the Parrot to see if it would answer it didn't this time. "I thought now?"
Then Ponidexter just realized!
" Wait!? I can talk again? So how was I able to talk to Alex, Krazy, But not Felix? "
" Wait?! When did I talk to Felix? "
'βFelix?β-' Echoed sadly the Parrot.
" I guess it's nice to talk to someone again even if they repeat everything I say.. and don't talk back.. "
'β don't talk back...β-' Echoed sadly the Parrot.
" It's ok Parrot you cant help yourself... is your name is Laura? "
'β Laura that's... my... name... I remember...' Laura Parrot answered.
" Wait you really do Talk? " Exclaimed Ponidexter
Then it happened, Ponidexter started to shrink into a child again!
Ponidexter was no longer a young Adult!
Ponidexter was child this time! Then he remembered the Pirate! The 1930s Felix! Goldie!
Ponidexter hug'd his legs he felt so alone.
" Goldie? Felix? Where are you...What should I Do? "Then he heard a voice Ponidexter remembered
" Or What? "
Ponidexter turned his head to see someone he never expected to see!
It was Frisky with Goldie the goose!
" Honk! "
" We thought you would never wake up? "
" And I thought you all died! "
Goldie ran to give Ponidexter a big winged hug!
Ponidexter hugged back the Goose!
" Oh you mean that day Time Traveler? It... was so long ago... Yes I remember like it was yesterday... That was the day we died..."
Ponidexter almost screamed!? Then he looked at Goldie who he was hugging! There was big scar across Goldie's neck that looked like a sword had cut threw Goldie's neck! Ponidexter had failed to protect Goldie!
Frisky looked stern.
" I have some questions Time Traveler that your going to answer! Ive been waiting decade's to know! "
Ponidexter gulped.
Note:
and Frisky the dog comes from the old Felix comics
