    Read F Gwynplaine MacIntyre's review....

    Normally I don't say to read another person's review, but the one by F Gwynplaine MacIntyre is very good. He's right that this Felix the Cat cartoon is much like "Bimbo's Initiation" by the Fleischers...though the quality of "Bimbo's Initiation" is light- years better than "Skulls and Sculls".

    The film begins with all sorts of ghost-like characters chasing Felix about and playing tricks on him. Ultimately he learns that this is all part of some college initiation. This portion is decent but unfortunately lasts for only a small portion of the cartoon. The rest really isn't very funny and doesn't go anywhere.

    Poor animation for 1930 and sloppily added sound effects and music make this cartoon second or even third-rate for the era...which is a darn shame as the Felix cartoons for the early 1920s were the very best available. It just goes to show you that lack of innovation and stagnation can kill any once great character. A dull cartoon despite the wonderful premise.
