Watch Little Nemo

In a live-action prologue and epilogue, Winsor McCay wagers with friends (including cartoonist George McManus and actor John Bunny, a Vitagraph star) that he can make his drawings move. The film stars the cast from McCay's epic comic strip "Little Nemo in Slumberland." In an attempt to make the smooth animation appear even more life-like, McCay hand-colored each frame of the cartoon portion of the film.
