Film and animation historian Steve Massa recreates Winsor McKay's "Gertie the Dinosaur" vaudeville act. Piano accompaniment is by Ben Model. Massa's re-enactment is based on a recreation of the act done by veteran animator Dick Huemer on the "Disneyland" television program. Performance was at the Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville, NY.
Very funny and am subscribing to your channel. For more laughs, check out Jay Jason, who was the comedy star in Sugar Daddy; vaudeville in the 1980s. See him on Youtube.

It's incredible to see this as it was meant to be shown. :) I can hardly imagine how it must have seemed back when the film/performance was first shown to audiences!

Nice! It's good to finally see this film "in context" to an actual performance. Well done!
I thought the little kid at the end was cute too, haha "How did he do that?"
