Winsor McCay's "The Sinking of the Lusitania" (1918)

[Stealth Hunter]

Very hard to find. No DVD copies are sold today, and this cartoon has largely been forgotten to history. Quite good for the time, though it clearly shows propaganda used by the Brits during the war against Kaiser Wilhelm's glorious army. Still, it's enjoyable, and the music makes you happy that we live in 2008!

Great art work for its time, and you're right the music is kind of is grating

That is a remarkable piece of early animation, the 3D effect in places is very good almost looks like a modern computer animation in places! :up:

I had a cool idea though........how about a SH or SOF mod that re-does all the graphics Winsor McCay 1918 stylee? :D
