I've seen McCay's Gertie the Dinosaur, which was quite a charming character, although I expected something way more primitive. He also did a truly beautiful and harrowing animated depiction, "The Sinking of the Lusitania," which was created to gin up public opinion for joining the fight against Germany. Watch it and you'll want to defeat the Hun too! (http://archive.org/details/Sinking_of_the_Lusitania)

Just watched The Cabin in the Woods> this weekend and the "stoner" character, Marty (Fran Kranz) was reading a Little Nemo book.
Hmmm... After all these years, I finally know what this old Genesis song refers to!

Spielberg was going to turn Little Nemo into a film series. That would be cool.
This looks like a job for a Chip Ahoy Pop-Up-Book!!!
But he didn't build it.
