Little Nemo (film)

Winsor McCay, the Famous Cartoonist of the N.Y. Herald and His Moving Comics (better known as Little Nemo) is a short, animated film from1911 partly created by cartoonist, animator and vaudevillian Winsor McCay. The inspiration for the film was McKay's popular newspaper strip Little Nemo in Slumberland.

The film is now considered to be one of the earliest animated films and would later give rise to Gertie the Dinosaur. McKay worked with James Stuart Blackton to the film, who had previously experimented with the medium cartoon in films such as The Enchanted Drawing from 1900 and Humorous Phases of Funny Faces from 1906. In 2009 the film was included in the National Film Registry.
