Average Rating: 
Rating:  - The real McCay
This collection contains the surviving films, complete and incomplete, from the man who called himself the "inventor of animated cartoons." Although McCay's animated output dates from 1911 to 1921, other American animators would not produce work comparable to "Gertie the Dinosaur," "The Sinking of the Lusitania," or "The Flying House" until well into the 1930s.
Because these cartoons can be found on YouTube and other streaming-video sites, only die-hard animation buffs need purchase ... Read More
Rating:  - An animation pioneer rediscovered
This wonderful disc brings together all of Winsor McCay's known surviving films, made between 1911 and 1921, although some of them, such as 'The Centaurs,' are just fragments, and some of the dates they were made is unknown. Though Mr. McCay actually was not the inventor of animated cartoons, as was often claimed in his day, he was still one of the very first cartoonists to bring drawings to life, and was the father of the personality cartoon, creating cartoon characters such as Gertie the Dinosaur ...

Rating: - Great collection from and tribute to a pioneer in animation
Most people don't know who Winsor McCay is. He is, in fact, a cartoonist and animator from the silent film era that inspired the work of people like Walt Disney. He was almost completely forgotten from the 1920's until the 1970's when some of his animations were first restored and exhibited. This DVD set has remastered versions of his ten surviving animations. McCay was the creator of "Little Nemo in Slumberland" comic strip. Nemo was a little boy haunted by Freddie Kruger like dreams circa 1910, and ... Read More
Rating: - MAJESTIC ANIMATION; not just for its "history"...
It is almost sad to read the review below, and hear someone condescending the work of Winsor McKay as a curiosity from the dawn of animation. I am here to say nothing is further from the truth; this animation is some of the finest ever created, vastly outstripping the likes of anything you will see in the cineplex in 2006.
The first time I saw his dramatic rendering of the sinking of the Lusitania, it was an old 16mm print, projected in a private screening room. I was BLOWN AWAY. When the ... Read More
Rating:  - Make the Dinosaurus live again.
If he's remembered at all today, Winsor McCay is probably best known for his 1914 animated film, Gertie the Dinosaur. Although more famous in his day as the creator of the Little Nemo comic strip, McCay earned a degree of immortality and rights to the title of father of animation for Gertie.
WINSOR MCCAY: THE MASTER EDITION includes all known animation by McCay, nine solo efforts and one he made in collaboration with his son Robert.
As historic artifacts I enjoyed these short animations ... Read More
