Gertie the Dinosaur
(1914)
Ditected by Winsor
McCay this short film mixes sections of live action and animation.
Two men bet over if one of them can make a dinosaur move or not.
It takes a little
while for this short to get to the animation but when it does this
turns into a charming little short. One of the earliest animated
films out there this film shows a surprising amount of the potential
the genre had. While a little rudimentary to modern eyes this is
still an impressive early effort.
4/5
