You’re Missing Out: A National Film Registry Podcast
"Gertie: she's a scream. She eats, drinks and breathes! She laughs and cries. Dances the tango, answers questions and obeys every command! Yet, she lived millions of years before man inhabited this earth and has never been seen since!!"
Author and animation expert Donald Crafton joins us to discuss one of the most significant pieces of animation ever made, Gertie the Dinosaur (or technically just "Gertie". We get into it). We talk Winsor McCay, the evolution of the animated drawing, and the original film's very special mix of stage and screen.
