Why would Disney want to buy Felix the cat when they have their own stable of classic animated characters to draw from? Characters that are more famous than Felix as well. Although if they don't start doing more with their characters than sticking them in preschool shows then Mickey and the gang may find themselves in the same boat as Felix and Betty Boop. Characters that are only known through merchandise. I'll never understand why Disney doesn't air their old cartoons on their own darn channel anymore. Do they WANT Mickey and the gang to fade into obscurity?
