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?"

  • This is great, Ben! It probably hasn't been done in 90 years -

    you beat me to it!
