Vaudeville theatre is king, newspapers rule the nation, and motion pictures are little more than a novelty. But cartoonist Winsor McCay dreams of something no one has ever seen before: drawings that live, breathe, and possess a soul. As he embarks on the impossible task of creating Gertie, a \"living\" animated dinosaur, he finds himself caught between artistic ambition, the iron grip of newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst, the turmoil of family life, and the dazzling, tumultuous, chaotic world of Broadway, Coney Island, and the birth of American cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichly imagined and grounded in remarkable historical detail, \u003cem\u003e Winsor and Gertie: A Dinosaur's Tale\u003c\/em\u003e brings to life an unforgettable cast of real-life figures-from Buster Keaton and J.
