Woos Whoopee (sometimes referred to as Felix the Cat in Woos Whoopee or Felix Woos Whoopee) is a surreal, animated 1930 Felix the Cat short subject produced by Pat Sullivan.
The short opens with a long shot of a large, urban building swaying in time to the loud strains of “There’ll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight” within, added to the film in later years. Next, the entrance to the “Whoopee Club” is shown with letters spelling out the name of the establishment one at a time. The camera, and therefore the viewer, is “brought into” the club through the front door. A group of anthropomorphic barnyard animals, among them Felix the Cat, are shown drinking and carousing. Felix himself is first shown standing atop a table with a foaming mug of beer in hand. Party horns are blown and confetti is thrown in the air as Felix downs his mug of beer. At home is the unnamed “Mrs. Felix”. She is first seen seated by a grandfather clock showing a time of 2:00. A rolling pin is in her right hand and her frequent looks at the time and her angry expressions make it clear as to her intended use of the implement.
