My, what a wonderful cartoon!!!! Gertie is a real sweetie. Such ingenuity for 1914!!! Kudos!!

[@Sososaure]

I love her personality, she’s a funny cartoon character, disobedient, stubborn and greedy… 😂 🦕

Wow. Our language has changed drastically over the last century!

Depends where you live. In Australia, we still tell kids "Don't tell fibs!"

Windsor McKay traveled with this film and put on a show speaking to Gertie. Giving the instructions verbal in the theater, pretending to interact with the cartoon. People loved it

[@AvitalShtap]

YES!!! With music! Thank you!

[@aputridpileofb-movies6542]

Mccay may have been influenced by the art of T.S. Sullivant, several of his prehistoric-setting drawings feature a similar to Gertie dinosaur.

[@superpokemonbros.9441]

Did this film come with a musical score or is the music that plays not related to film at all?

[@Hannah_and_Marc]

This isn't copyrighted, right? I need to use 10 secs of this for a college project! Pls let me know if that's ok. Kind regards

[@Hannah_and_Marc]

McCay, the creator of this movie died over 70 years ago so the copyright should be expired

[@IBrowseThisWebsite]

It's before 1923, it's fine.

[@jrivoldi28]

Here you can see where the term "cartoon" comes from.
From the Italian cartone or from the French carton, which mean "carboard", where they mede the drawings.

This was made when the very first Model T was invented...

[@BlockheadBlocks]

SEZLINC, the first Ford model T was produced in 1908, so this was made 6 years after the model T first rolled off the assembly line

[@seanagulan9481]

This inspired Max Fleischer, Walter Lance and Walt Disney

With this cartoon and dinosaur/s of 1914 film brute force,which of the two was the first to be released?It is a question of knowing the true appearance of a dinosaur /s in the seventh art👉🦕 / 🦖❗!

[@wilcowen6284]

This was first

[@marfuster818]

Im get wrong, the real first film with dinosaurs was Prehistoric Peeps (1905)

[@Austro5678]

This isn't the original music but probably a later release with sound

[@jcraw722]

Thanks I'm trying to find the track from the HBO doc: Before Mickey and I thought i was going crazy.
If you happen to know the og artist I can't find it.

[@Austro5678]

Sadly i don't

[@Lucius1958]

The film was originally used in McCay's vaudeville act, where he interacted with the image on the screen. At the end, he would walk offstage, and reappear onscreen in the animation.

[@Austro5678]

That's very interesting
Thanks for the info.

[@aymuammosmiom4091]

This is better than The Land Before Time...
