Gertie the Dinosaur

==Summary==
Gertie is the titular protagonist of the 1914 animated short film Gertie the Dinosaur by American cartoonist and animator Winsor McCay (and its unfinished sequel Gertie on Tour). She's a dinosaur brought into modern times to perform tricks and be a living spectacle, compared to the rest of her long-gone species.
It is the earliest animated film to feature a dinosaur, in turn making Gertie the first dinosaur in animation and one of the first dinosaur protagonists. Gertie the Dinosaur was the first film to use animation techniques such as keyframes, registration marks, tracing paper, the Mutoscope action viewer, and animation loops. It influenced the next generation of animators such as the Fleischer brothers, Otto Messmer, Paul Terry, Walter Lantz, and Walt Disney.

According to an advertisement and as seen in the original short, she laughs and cries, dances the tango, answers questions and obeys every command. In response to some questions, she knows to nod or shake her head. She can use her tail to wave or scratch herself and her forelimbs to play around with a train car. When Jumbo the mammoth shoots water at her, she uses a nearby rock as a weapon against him. Her intelligence is shown to be natural rather than human influence, since she was the same way during prehistoric times.)
Weaknesses: None notable, though mammoths and frogs seem to freak her out or bother her somewhat.
