In 1953, Official Films purchased the Sullivan-Messmer shorts, added soundtracks to them, and distributed to the home movie and television markets. In 1958, Joe Oriolo, who was drawing the Felix newspaper strip, struck a deal and Felix went on to star Felix in 260 television cartoons. He gave Felix a more domesticated and pedestrian personality, geared more toward children, and introduced now-familiar elements such as Felix's Magic Bag of Tricks, a satchel that could assume the shape and characteristics of anything Felix wanted.
