Gertie the dinosaur

I thought I had put a post about Gertie the dinosaur ages ago becuase I love it but I can find it anywhere! So I'll write about it again. Gertie the dinosaur was made by Winsor McCay in 1914, this was one of the first animations with a proper character that had a personality! And it interacted with a human! This was also a big thing because people didn't know alot about dinosaurs in those days so for someone to say "this is how a dinosaur moves and acts" was completely bewildering. It became a landmark of the first animation with a star and a storyline.This animation took 10,000 drawings to make. This animation also showed more refinement to the drawing.
