The story

What Is Little Nemo About?

The premise of Little Nemo without spoilers.

Cartoon characters proclaim in speech balloons that they are about to move, and then they do so with wildly exaggerated, jerky animation. The short film, also referred to as “Winsor McCay, the Famous Cartoonist of the N.Y. Herald and His Moving Comics,” showcases McCay’s pioneering kinetic comic style.
