Gertie the Dinosaur by Winsor McCay and Fantasmagorie by Émile Cohl are both early animations, but they have different styles. McCay’s Gertie uses clean, detailed lines to show a more realistic dinosaur interacting with its environment, while Cohl’s Fantasmagorie has loose, sketchy lines and a more abstract, surreal feel. McCay’s backgrounds are simple but give a sense of place, while Cohl’s backgrounds are minimal and constantly changing. In terms of storytelling, Gertie has a more structured plot with Gertie responding to commands, while Fantasmagorie is a series of random, fluid transformations without a clear story. McCay focuses on smoother, lifelike animation, while Cohl explores playful, experimental movement.
