''Little Nemo'' is a 1911 short film directed by cartoonist and animation pioneer Creator/WinsorMcCay.
By 1911 [=McCay=] was a veteran cartoonist with newspaper comic strips such as ''ComicStrip/LittleNemo'' and ''ComicStrip/DreamOfTheRarebitFiend''. Meanwhile, a man named J. Stuart Blackton had been making some of the earliest examples of animated films, both in StopMotion (''Film/TheHauntedHotel''), and animated drawings (''Humorous Phases of Funny Faces''). In 1911, the two worked together on an animated adaptation of [=McCay=]'s ''Little Nemo'' comic, producing what might be the first AnimatedAdaptation of all time.
More than half of the completed film is actually live action. It begins with a scripted sequence in which [=McCay=] meets with some of his friends, and bets them that he can make a 4000-frame animated short film. The next scene shows [=McCay=] and his assistants working in the studio. Next, [=McCay=] gathers his friends together to show them the film. The movie then concludes with by far the most famous part, [=McCay=]'s animated short, which he made by hand-drawing 4000 images on rice paper. The images were photographed by Blackton.
