OriginalGertie the Dinosaur, a 1914 animated short film by American cartoonist and animator Winsor McCay. Initially purely animated and used in McKay's vaudeville act, for a theatrical release the artist added live-action bits in which he interacts with the dinosaur.
Reason
High resolution video in a featured article. Interesting both for being an early example of animation and for combining animation and live action. Oh yeah, and dinosaurs. We all love dinosaurs.
