The Magical Animation of Windsor McCay

0

Can you believe it’s been 100 years?  Yeah, time really flies.

Windsor McKay — genius behind the Little Nemo comic strip — ventured into movies with “Gertie The Dinosaur”

Nobody had every imagined cartoons could move.  And before color movies — animation could be hand colored, so color film wasn’t needed.

Here is the 100-year-old Little Nemo film (partially hand-colored).  Please note — no drugs were used in imagining this wild specatacle.
