三个早期的漫画家及影片制作人

在动画发展的前几年，为了使虚构的角色能够活动自如，漫画家及影片制作人发展了好几种不同的方式，而个人艺术家们也有自己独特的卡通片风格。

卡通影片的早期开拓者之一为麦凯 (Winsor McCay) ，来自于密西根州春天湖 (Spring Lake) ，他是个为好几份报纸工作的漫画家。 他将他的连环漫画主角「小尼莫」 (Little Nemo) 改编成一部非常成功的动画影片。之后，他创造了更多的短篇卡通，「恐龙葛蒂」 (Gertie the Dinosaur) 便是其一；在这部影片中，住在现代社会中的葛蒂遇到了一连串的事件，并梦想成为派对的灵魂人物。

 
In the years following the very earliest animation, cartoonists and filmmakers developed several ways to give fictional characters movement. Individual artists had their own unique style of animation.

One early pioneer of cartoon films was Winsor McCay, who was from Spring Lake, Michigan. McCay worked as a cartoonist for several newspapers. He turned his comic strip hero, Little Nemo, into the subject of a highly successful animated film. After that, he made many more short cartoons including "Gertie the Dinosaur." In this film, Gertie, who lives in the modern world, encounters a train and dreams of being the life of the party.
