Felix Films was founded in 1992 as a "umbrella" studio by former [[MTV]] executive [[Fred Seibert]] and [[Mike Smith (animator)|Mike Smith]], who was wanted to realise his dream of producing an animated television series and motion pictures for $255 million, after Seibert was leaving MTV in 1992, and Smith was leaving MGMM Animation Studios for movie ''[[Highlander (movie)|Highlander]]'' and music video ''[[A Kind of Magic]]'' by [[Queen (band)|Queen]].

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]], [[Paul Rudish]] and [[Roxanne Ducharme]] for the newly opened [[Cartoon Network]]. Felix Films produced 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]]''.
