Review of 1914 - “Gertie the Dinosaur” (Winsor McCay)

     I liked the short animated/live action film because of how it was produced. How the animator introduced Gertie thw dinosaur as an animated character was interesting and had a bit of humor to it too. The animator showed the audience what Gertie should do using text and music. Then, he showed the animation of the dinosaur afterwards with an improved look to the past types of animating, which I thought was pretty creative and humorous. In the end, the style of the animators work was still pretty good with the thickness of the lines and also shadows, and is similar to today's animation styles and techniques.
