Winsor Mccay's Little Nemo (1911)
If you don't already know by now, I LOVE cartoons and films from the turn of the century. There is often an otherworldyquality about it, like we're peering at their world from a creepy grainy black and white teloscope.
Winsor Mccay. Comic strip pioneer. Creator of the Little Nemo series, an extremely popular strip for the time.
However, if you mention the name, "Little Nemo" to some dim bulb on the street today, they will tell you it's a movie about finding fish. Maybe you'll get lucky, and someone will remember the Capcom-produced NES game. Or even luckier if they remember the disjointed animated film.
However, the year in this case is 1911, and Little Nemo was at the height of it's popularity. And here comes none other than it's creator Mccay (no relation) to make one of the first animated films in history.
This film is not only cool for the above-stated facts, but also for how subtly CREEPY it all feels!
