Winsor McKay

Animator Winsor McKay first grasp the possibility of animated films in the early 20th century and produced the medium's first real classics (notably his 1914 film "Gertie the Dinosaur" which depicted a friendly brontosaurus interacting with a live man in front of the screen). His films took a long time to produce, however, since he drew them all by hand. Subsequent animators like John Bray and Raoul Barre noted the inefficiency and by 1920 had opened studios employing dozens of animators to produce films more rapidly. The studio system eventually came to dominate 2D animation.
