  • In this early silent film the character and world of Little Nemo is created. The artist discusses his drawing with his friends and draws a few while they are present. He then promises to create 4000 pictures to create an animated moving picture by the end of the month. He has a few setbacks when a kid knocks all the pictures over and they have to figure out the order of the pictures again. Eventually he plays the final film for his friends.

    No cels. No onion skin/tracing paper. No other animators, just one man, working on thousands of drawings, all by himself. McCay was nothing short of brilliant.

      It was hand colored on the print, using stencils: a not uncommon practice for that time. It is not to be confused with an actual color film process (although some actual experimental color footage from the 1900s has been found).
