In 1990, Smith and Young's short, ''[[Umbabarauma]]'' by [[Jorge Ben]], was the first Felix Films production to win an [[Academy Award]].

===1992–present===
In October 1992,
 Seibert and Smith began hiring new animators at this point; six of the newcomers, including [[Genndy Tartakovsky]], [[Craig McCracken]], [[Van Partible]], [[Butch Hartman]], [[David Feiss]], [[Seth MacFarlane]], [[Rob Renzetti]] and [[Paul Rudish]], for the newly opened [[Cartoon Network]]. Felix Films produced and aired television series ''[[Conversation Pieces]]'' for [[Channel 4]], by using recordings of random people having conversation with other person for lip-syncing movement.

In February 1995, ''[[What a Cartoon!]]'', an animation showcase led by Seibert and Smith, premiered and featured new creator-driven shorts developed for Cartoon Network by Felix Films' in-house staff. Several new original animated series emerged from it, including ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'', ''[[Johnny Bravo]]'', ''[[Cow and Chicken]]'', ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'', ''[[Spaced Out]]'' and Stretch Films' ''[[Courage the Cowardly Dog]]''.
