Around 1921, McCay worked on a second animated film featuring Gertie, titled Gertie on Tour. The film would have Gertie visiting New York and Washington, D.C., bouncing on the Brooklyn Bridge and attempting to eat the Washington Monument, among other scenes. The film may have been designed for performance on the vaudville stage; it exists today only in fragments and concept sketches.
A plagiarization of Gertie, from roughly 1915, was distributed for many years, incorrectly identified as McCay's film. Donald Crafton suggests that this other Gertie may have been created by Bray Productions, based on its graphical style.
McCay's son Robert, along with Disney animator Richard Huemer, recreated the original vaudeville performance for the Disneyland television program in 1955.
Dinosaur Gertie's is a soft serve ice cream location at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World, Florida. The building, an example of Programmatic architecture, is shaped like Dinosaur Gertie. The shop is located on Echo Lake.

“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
