In Felix Tries to Rest, Felix, a drowsy watchdog, attempts to catch a nap in the dog's kennel while his master is away. However, his peaceful slumber is interrupted by a tramp, leading to a series of chaotic and absurd misadventures, including being kicked by an angry donkey, snatched by a bird, and ultimately dumped into a pigpen. This short film by Otto Messmer is a prime example of early animation's ability to blend humor with surrealism.
