113 years old, and 4 minutes long, and wow...that is a lot beauty, imagination and fantasy packed into a film less than 5 minutes long. Melies was just amazing. Thank you for posting. :)

nice music too

[@juanpabloestrada7991]

Le film m'a semblé très drôle. Ma partie préférée est alors le magicien commence à retirer des choses de son chapeau et semble également très intéressant comme avant sans instruments trop avancés, ils ont réussi à obtenir certains effets cette utilisation actuelle dans les applications qui sont à notre portée.

At first the fish were all like, "Fuck you, I'm not swimming!"

It is very close to what a dream is.
