2/6

Born 1867 & Died 1934

From a young age Winsor had a knack for drawing and by the age of 13 he

had a drawing being photographed and sold to the public. However,

Winsors father would not share the publics view and would try to shun his

talents. At the age of 19, he enrolled Winsor in a business school in order to

learn a real trade. (J, Vadeboncoeur, 2011)


3/6

Girtie The Dinosaur, 1914.

Like Little Nemo, Girtie was born and

brought to the screens through a bet,

a bet which started from him saying

he could make this dinosaur more.

Girtie was a breakthrough in

animation as it contained a personality

which would respond, it would seem,

to Winsors voice.

What Gertie the Dinosaur was the

first universally popular cartoon

release, and also the first to exploit

the possibilities of "personality"

animation, rather than merely offering

a series of moving images. this

emphasis on personality would, of

course, later become the cornerstoneof Walt Disney's success.

Winsor would continue with Girtie by

adding colour and shade later on.


4/6

Sinking of the Iusitania, 1918

This is the true story of the

Sinking of the Lusitania,

which would lead up to the

American joining the fight in

World War One.

This was used to create an

anti-German attitude.

Unlike the other films, such as

Little Nemo and Girtie the

Dinosaur, this was a specialone, not just the subject but

that this was Winsor going

out and doing this with out

anyway other artists betting

him to do it.

As with other McCay shorts,it begins with the artist

himself, but here, instead of

betting his friends he can

produce a cartoon, the film

shows him researching the

details around the tragedy.
