Professor Nutty Nut-Meg, also known as the The Professor, is the main antagonist of DreamWorks Classics' Felix the Cat franchise.
He is not always an outright malicious individual, but he sees Felix as a source of constant fascination due to his obsession with Felix's magical bag of tricks.
He was voiced by the late Jack Mercer in the 1959 cartoons, and Chris Phillips in the movie.
Biography[]
A mad scientist by trade, the Professor will stop at nothing to steal Felix's bag of tricks and has fought the mischievous feline on numerous occasions, though the two are not always outright enemies. The Professor is the uncle of Poindexter but unlike his nephew, he seems to prefer to use his scientific genius for selfish (sometimes outright evil) means, though The Professor can use his genius for good at times. While the Professor is usually an antagonist to Felix, he ends up becoming a reluctant ally of Felix's in the episodes where Poindexter appears because of Poindexter's friendship with Felix.
Occasionally the Professor and Rock Bottom will try to steal something other than Felix's bag of tricks or commit some other evil deed, a notable example of this was in an episode where Felix somehow created a plant that produced solid gold fruit, The Professor was so impressed by this plant that he stole it for himself: during this episode he was also shown as being very greedy with a desire to be rich.
Movie[]
The Professor appeared as supporting protagonist in Felix the Cat: The Movie.
He and his nephew Pointdexter went to the magical and technologically-advanced world of Oriana and came to the aid of Felix in helping the benevolent Princess Oriana and her friends in freeing their home from the evil Duke of Zill.
