This must have been so labor intensive.... but, who was paying for these films? did they play in theatres, or did people own home projectors? i can't imagine this being a very lucrative profession - who's going to pay for a ticket to the theatre to watch a 5 minute film ?
Méliès and his actors came from the theater. Almost all of his films were shot in the theater. In those days you only paid admission to the cinema, then each theater had its own uninterrupted program of short films, but there were no theaters either, often just a circus tent...
There is so much joy and creativity in his work . Makes you sad for Disney.
These movies influenced the young Walt
Clever and delightful- and the hand-coloring is so complex and perfectly executed. A work of art!
Fabuleux Véro de Normandie quel exploit pour l époque et en plus en couleur chapeau Mr Méliès
This is pure gold from the Edwardian era. They did magic with stop motion back in those days
Weel, you are in France not in UK
Melies actually was a magician. He pioneered just about every aspect of film but he was a stop action genius. Best films of the era!
Sempre gosto de coisas antigas igual essas é sempre bom eles era interessante
Reminds me of Mary Poppins’ bag!
Très bonne réalisation !
This is a masterpiece!
Thank you

Regina Spektor!
Was the piano added a decade later? it sounds more like stride and less like ragtime, would have been cutting edge for it's time. Are my ears broken?
the original movie was silent, so I added this sound track
Tourné au studio Méliès a montreuil sous Bois

I think he bankrupted not long after this period. He started in the late 1800s
And they have musicians playing musics because those were silent films@@iconaus
What is in my bag
Anyone else come here from Regina Spektor 'Us' music video? 😂
Anyone else thinking Micheal Jackson?
maybe Micheal Jackson thought to Méliès
Nope. I try not to think of Michael Jackson.
@@Bigbadwhitecracker that’s probably good advice,
I just meant the pose in the thumbnail.
Mary poppins
No.
