Imagine a carload of men in suits get out of an ancient car without a roof and get a flat in front of the Museum of Natural HIstory. They go in and have dinner and a wager gets made. Can McCay bring a dinosaur to life with his animation skills? Animation at that time was very new, so who knows. Join Blaine and Susan Coppin as they bring back this very early animation.
