Gertie the Dinosaur 1914


"Gertie the Dinosaur" by Winsor McCay is often regarded as the first character based cartoon, and an early example of character animation. It successfully establishes an attachment to the character Gertie in the animation, and it combines animated footage with live action. It was the first animation to do this. It was the first animation to use key frames to create the animation, enabling Winsor McCay to incorporate the live action.
