and not a fish. This is a 7-minute black-and-white short film from over 100 years ago and it features Winsor McCay in front of and also behind the camera. His approach to film was a mix of live action and animation. However, everything that worked so well in his film about Gertie stays pretty uninteresting here. Nemo does not get a proper introduction and thus stays fairly uninteresting for the entire film and the live action story is also fairly random and forgettable. I certainly did not enjoy this one as much as I hoped I would. It feels like a raw unfinished version of Gertie without the heart and with another lead character. Still the good thing about this one here is perfect evidence of how McCay steadily improved over the next years. Sadly I cannot recommend his take on Nemo.
