This
DVD contains every surviving film ever made by Winsor
McCay, one of the greatest and most influential
artists in the history of animation. Winsor McCay
(1871-1934) was a pioneer in animation, first touring
the vaudeville circuit in 1906 with some of his
work, eventually developing his world-famous comic
strip characters into the animated cartoons Little
Nemo (1911) and Gertie the Dinosaur (1914).
Transferred from the Cinémathèque
Québécoise 35mm archival prints, this
DVD compilation contains all ten of McCay's existing
films. Also included is the story of how these historic
reels were discovered rusting away in a garage,
eventually rescued two decades later from any further
decay. Much of his work had long been forgotten,
but now he is once again highly regarded as the
early innovator of animation. |
