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)! 🦕

Spinosaurus Propaganda:

They actually built a full scale animatronic/robotic model for the film, and actually used this to beat seven bells out of the T. rex animatroic... (the spinosaur animatronic tore the head off the T. rex one... 🫢)

While a lot has changed in our understanding of Spinosaurs between the film's release and today, you can still pretend that the other anatomical, er, quirks of this creature are down to poor genetic engineering... 🤔

Much as I’m tempted to vote for the empathetically bonded deinonychus (not a velociraptor! *gasp*), I feel I need to check out Reverse Jurassic Park, which for some reason I have never heard of before this day 🤔🦖
