Made in 1914, this animation was the first of its kind, to be projected and presented for an audience to see "Gertie" following instructions and interact with a man reading a script.
It was the first animation to use keyframes, animation loops and tracing paper! Winsor McCay wanted Gertie to have an appealing personality, so acted her out as a pet abiding or not listening to McCay as he spoke her.
I think seeing this animation live in action for the first time would have been a ground breaking and inspirational thing for its time, since it has fluid movements that accurately represent how an animal moves.
