@janellecshane If it's *not* King Kong – but that's the only one that pops up when I look for dinosaur movies from the 30s – it may have been the short Winsor McCay #animation Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend: The Pet from 1921. It could've played as part of a matinée, or before the main feature.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge June 1: Dinosaurs on #DinosaurDay

In 1914, a brontosaurus named Gertie and a comic strip creator called Winsor McCay travelled the land – animated and real – with a chalk talk, a live performance in which an artist would chat and draw on a blackboard in real time. With the movies young and promising, Gertie's leap to celluloid was made the very same year ☞ https://write.underworld.fr/settima/gertie-the-dinosaur-1914
