Over 100 years later and we are privileged to watch this all, the entire world, from the comfort of our homes. His work.. preserved for all eternity. Life is beautiful!
Ce serait génial qu'une maison de production propose à nouveau, ces vieux films du tout début de la formidable aventure cinématographique, je suis sûr que ça plairait à un large public... Merci beaucoup 🙏🤔😘
Would it surprise you to know there's quite a few of this genre of film from around 1892 to around 1905? It was a big thing at the time and there was a general interest in fairy stories and myths at the time, as well. Many directors did it. Georges is one of the best, and definitely the most well known.
OLD HOLLYWOOD, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL ELEGANT TIME TO HAVE BEEN AROUND, WOW. THE ARTSY PEOPLE THE FURNITURE THE CARS, MOST OF ALL THE FABRICS AND ACCESSORIES, CLOTHES. I HONESTLY DON'T BELONG IN TODAY'S WORLD.!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastique! C'est l'un de mes films préférés de Méliés, et c'était incroyable avec cette chanson, cela correspondait parfaitement au thème et au style du récit.
What great work, ingenuity and talent! A great man with a difficult fate. Какой огромный труд, изобретательность и талант! Великий человек с тяжёлой судьбой.
Shika Cendana really? You didn’t find out until AFTER the movie? Even though during the film they showed real footage of the real George Melies and his films.
By far, this is the best version, in score and colorization. Bravo, Monsier Melies! Bravo Steffen Wick and Henschel Quartett. I am sure Melies would be proud for this music to accompany his "Kingdom of the Fairies."
Pure magic- an absolute delight! Méliès' settings are stunning, the effects are superb, and the hand-coloring is amazing and gives the film a whole extra layer of fantasy. I enjoyed these 17 minutes more than today's technically flawless but overblown three-hour mind-numbing insomnia cures. The human inventiveness of this 121-year -old confection impresses me more than 300 million dollars worth of technology. But hey, that's me all over! Great to see this!
I watched the Scorsese film, Hugo, last night, a tribute to Melies' work. Johnny Depp was a producer. Cinema should never lose its adventurous and magical quality. Too many are about conflict alone.
I watched an interesting documentary about his studio and how he made the movies. Very fascinating mUnfortunately a lot of those movies are now lost. What a pity.
Magnifique. Georges Meliès s'est beaucoup inspiré de Jules Verne pour ces films. Mais ce cinéaste a été vite oublié car son cinéma muet et fantastique lassait avec l'arrivée du cinéma parlant et réaliste dans les années 1930.
I'm in love! So far my favourite Méliès piece. So much magic, imagination, joy and ingenuity. I like the music too, so far the most apt score I have heard, it underlines the magical aspect perfectly, thank you for making this gem even more luminous!
Greetings from New Orleans. This film "Kingdom of the Fairies" will be depicted in the Endymion 2019 Mardi Gras parade "Wonder Tales of Science Fiction". Thank you for posting this beautiful 100+ year old film..
This was truly a fun watch, not my usual tastes, but the budget, time and effort that must have gone into this film in those times must have been tremendous!
What a perfectly matching composition, especially during the fire scene - the music really brought the piece to life for me. Thank you for making this!
Qué maravilla de película, me imagino que ;la producción, al igual que ahora ha de haber sido costosísima, por los escenarios y su tramoya, el vestuario delos personajes y la edición, por decirlo rápido muy tardada y costosa por los efectos. Qué gran genio George Melié. Una puesta en escena que duró para siempre.
I'm here because of the Doodle too lol. Also, if someone in Hollywood could sucessfully make a silent film but with todays tech/cgi/sets then that would be amazing :D
Just watched movie Hugo for the 2nd time since it first came out. Fun to see some of George Melies films on UA-cam. Did Melies use some of the moon men from Trip to the Moon in The Kingdom of the Fairies as well?

!!!!!
Georges was a man beyond his time. a true genius.
yes he is French
True
real fact 💯
Did that absolute madlad just put a fish tank in front of the camera? I love it.
incredible, a movie with more than a century of existence
Georges Méliès ou l'art de faire du cinéma au temps du muet. La magie opère toujours.
Many mythological symbols, a hero's journey, amazing special effects, beautiful scenography truly a masterpiece from 1903!
Ce serait génial qu'une maison de production propose à nouveau, ces vieux films du tout début de la formidable aventure cinématographique, je suis sûr que ça plairait à un large public... Merci beaucoup 🙏🤔😘
Only a man in touch with his own imagination could produce such beautiful artwork/stories.

What a beautiful soundtrack. Really captures the feelling of the film.
many thanks!

Hate to break it to you, but Mélìes was French lol
Du pur génie ! George Méliès était un magicien de l'image !
Fantastic,like a dream.
Georges Méliès was one hell of a pioneer in film. Amazing quality. I'm glad to see these reels so well preserved. 120+ years ago!
Not following the plot line, just enjoying the visuals and the music, mesmerising!
Thought I'd seen all of Melies' best films, and this one proved I hadn't---really liked this, it had a genuine epic feels to it.
Being an artist, I also especially loved all the work that went into the fantastic scenery and the scene changes.
The contrast between B and W and colorixed features is beautiful!
He did afmit many of his films have been lost overtime. 😢 I can imagine thise would have been just as beautiful as this one
116 years ! Georges melies is inspiring writers and directors.beautiful movie.
btw, this must've been a huge budget production compared even to 'The trip to the Moon'. So many scenes with different sets!
This is 1 year after "The trip to the Moon", he got recognized and had budget for bigger project, and brought to us this masterpiece...
Fantastique! C'est l'un de mes films préférés de Méliés, et c'était incroyable avec cette chanson, cela correspondait parfaitement au thème et au style du récit.
Thank you, Mr.Weck, for the delightfully evocative accompaniment .
환상적이다. 감탄을 금하지 못하겠다....조르주 멜리아스 감독의 영화를 올려주셔서 고맙습니다~~~!!!!
Méliès est pour moi l'un des pères du cinéma.
What great work, ingenuity and talent! A great man with a difficult fate.
Какой огромный труд, изобретательность и талант! Великий человек с тяжёлой судьбой.
just finished watching movie Hugo. and just found out it was a true story! amazed!!!
for a moment i was wondering if THIS movie was a true story XD !
Shika Cendana really? You didn’t find out until AFTER the movie? Even though during the film they showed real footage of the real George Melies and his films.
One of the most imaginitive and creative film makers that has ever lived
By far, this is the best version, in score and colorization. Bravo, Monsier Melies! Bravo Steffen Wick
and Henschel Quartett. I am sure Melies would be proud for this music to accompany his "Kingdom of the Fairies."

É um dos filmes mais lindos que eu já vi
Mesmerising; a genuine milestone of silent cinema!
This was truly a fun watch, not my usual tastes, but the budget, time and effort that must have gone into this film in those times must have been tremendous!
Mélies gênio!!! soberbo, fantástico... o inventor dos efeitos especiais... bravo!!!!
Une joie, merci!

A fantasy movie. Turn of the century style.
Wonderful and great film
Watching this because of Google honoring Georges Méliès today!
Beautiful! Could silent films be making a comeback? I hope so! :)
I'm here because of the Doodle too lol.
Also, if someone in Hollywood could sucessfully make a silent film but with todays tech/cgi/sets then that would be amazing :D
TVrawks301 well there is the movie, The Artist.....
I am not sure about silent films in general but slapstick comedy ones could.
amazing sets
i don't know what's going on but it's interesting to watch movies from over 100's ago
Clever considering the year it was made.
Beautiful music☺
Fascinating, thank you!
Just watched movie Hugo for the 2nd time since it first came out. Fun to see some of George Melies films on UA-cam. Did Melies use some of the moon men from Trip to the Moon in The Kingdom of the Fairies as well?
o filme e bom demais adoro os filmes de George melies
Verdade, a cada 5 melhores filmes da época 4 eram do Méliés e estavam sempre no topo da lista.
amazing
EPIC!!!
Date 1903
Way better that all the Star Wars movies.
excellent
I cried a little because no film can be thoroughly effused with such wanton innocence as a Melies production. All timer shit
More a sequence of paintings than a movie
The feeling when you know all this lobsters are dead
Petrariu Aura (Izaura/ Isaura/ Issaura; ISSA/ ISA "I")
The ship sure has pretty sailors.
so fckn stunning
Better CGI than Marvel
I’m picturing the person that sat with a magnifying glass pinched in their eye and painted every frame of this film by hand
WOW
Woah
How exactly was the fire of the torches being captured?
I used to be upseste about this guy.
Alguien me podría decirme qué tan original es
Better than shrek
Todo un viaje iniciático, ¿no?
He was living in the 2000 in 1903
Is this the first colored movie?
3:32
Howcome when i put this video on fullscreen, it slants and splits in twooo!!!?!!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!~!?!?!?
