The way it worked was, Winsor McCay would be on a stage, in person, while this movie was shown on the screen. He'd say the proper thing and Gertie would "react" as though she could hear him and follow his commands.
this is apprently the first dinosaur anyone ever saw. granted dinosaur research had been going on for years befoer but this was the first Reconstruction of the beats
can someone please tell me where to find the version where he actually speaks and appears to 'interact' with the screen?? I can't find it!! the one where he is in a theatre....and appears to walk into the frame?
claaaasic! Amazing enough- it was only a BET game- when Winsor was in museum with friends and they had a bet to make a dinasour skeleton come to life. That how this cartioon started!
And it was a handanimated animation.Winsor had a huge bucket of ink and stacks of paper brought to him to do animation. Then all of it was photographed together in a sequence!

At the Geppi Entertainment Museum in Baltimore today, I saw an original frame from this. ♥
So funny that they were just really discovering dinosaurs.
