Gertie the Dinosaur

Gertie the Dinosaur centers on a premise that unfolds like this: Although not the first feature-length animated film, as is sometimes thought, it was the first cartoon to feature a character with an appealing personality. The appearance of a true character distinguished it from earlier animated "trick films", such as those of Blackton and Cohl, and makes it the predecessor to later popular cartoons such as those by Walt Disney. The film was also the first to be created using keyframe animation.

Rather than rushing, the film lets tension build naturally, trusting the audience to keep up. The tagline — "The greatest animal act in the world!!!" — captures that tone perfectly. For a frame-by-frame breakdown, the dedicated Wikipedia entry and IMDb trivia pages are excellent companions.

Gertie the Dinosaur is anchored by Winsor McCay, George McManus, Roy L. McCardell, and Thomas A. 'Tad' Dorgan, working under the direction of Winsor McCay. The chemistry between the leads is one of the production's quiet strengths.
