FAMOUS FIRSTS🥇
What was the very first production to feature both animated and live action characters together?
Many people named Walt Disney movies, although his Alice in Cartoonland Comedies from the 1920s were his earliest, but it is actually Winsor McCay’s Gertie the Dinosaur, where he interacted with the animated character projected onto a screen from behind the vaudeville stage McCay stood on.
If his name sounds familiar, McCay is most famous for the classic comic strip Little Nemo in Slumberland.
