Trivia
Some film histories erroneously cite this as the first animated cartoon, ignoring not only Humorous Phases of Funny Faces (1906) (probably the first true animated cartoon), but even Winsor McCay's own earlier work, Le dernier cri des dessins animés (1911) and How a Mosquito Operates (1912).

Quotes
Winsor McCay: [Gertie swallows a large stump, later on, Gertie is thrilled to see a small mastodon] Gertie, don't hurt Jumbo.

Connections
Edited into Los comienzos de la animación (1995)

Shows that ancient cartoons can still be funny

This short and rather old cartoon about a dinosaur is quite enjoyable. It was one of the earlier cartoons, and one of the first dinosaur movies. It may also have introduced cartoon violence to the world; Gertie chucks a mammoth named Jumbo into the ocean. I have found that it is more fun to watch the original silent version than the one with sound, although others may disagree.
