Yesterday I got a bag with various Super 8 and Regular 8 movies. Among them were À La Conquête Du Pôle and something called Felix the Cat: The Big Rain (color and music score) ...

I did find something on the Melies film, but wondered if it was ever released in full 33 minutes on Super 8? Mine is a 200' and runs about 11 minutes on 18fps

The Felix movie, I can not find at all (the seller said it was from 1920, but in color? Might have been colorized though)

It was certainly colorized as the4 first ever Felix the Cat cartoons in color were the Van Buren cartoons, three of them ...

Neptune's Nonsense
Bold King Cole
Felix the Cat and the Goose that Laid the Golden Egg

... all three of which were released by Blackhawk films and, if your lucky enough to find a LPP print, (the later printings of them, silver box editions), you will find that they have absolutely GORGEOUS color, Disney like color of the 30's ... that good!
