Duke of Zill

The Duke of Zill is the main antagonist of the Felix the Cat Movie - which was created in 1987 but did not get a US release until 1991.

The Duke of Zill was a would-be-tyrant from a magical dimension who utilized an army of evil creations to usurp power from his niece, Princess Oriana - however before he could accomplish complete victory Oriana was able to use a special dimensional-transporter to seek help from a prophesized hero from another world (a "dark stranger").

Unsurprisingly the task fell to the rather unorthodox Felix the Cat, who found himself catapulted into another dimension (largely by his own curiosity) where he faced off against the Duke of Zill and a number of other villains to save the kingdom.

During his adventures Felix was aided by his old friend Poindexter as well as his on-and-off adversary the Professor - who had pursued him across dimensional space.
