Gertie propaganda;

Gertie is the first dinosaur in animated film!

In fact, she was in one of the earliest animated films, period!

She’s smart enough to do tricks, but don’t push her too hard or tease her, or she might toss you in a lake…

The film was originally used in Windor McCay’s vaudeville act, in which he would interact with Gertie in front of a live audience.

Gertie is literally one of the foundational films in both animation history and dinosaur media - vote for the O.G. (Original Gertie)! 🦕
