Gertie - Tumblr Posts

This has probably already been pointed out before, but Holly from Stranger Things looks just like Gertie from E.T. (both little sisters with a brother named MICHAEL, although Gertie also has a brother named Elliot (main character) and Holly also has a sister named Nancy)

Gertie wears this when she says goodbye to E.T., Holly is dressed like this when she's following the flickering lights and almost gets caught by the demogorgon through the wall in the episode titled "Holly Jolly."

Gertie propaganda;

Gertie is the first dinosaur in animated film!

In fact, she was in one of the earliest animated films, period!

She’s smart enough to do tricks, but don’t push her too hard or tease her, or she might toss you in a lake…

The film was originally used in Windor McCay’s vaudeville act, in which he would interact with Gertie in front of a live audience.

Gertie is literally one of the foundational films in both animation history and dinosaur media - vote for the O.G. (Original Gertie)! 🦕
