A Trip to the Moon


This film is 110 years old today, and remains one of my favorite films of all time. This particular film was hand colored by Méliès. Colored film in 1902?!?! That meant literally coloring every item appearing in every single frame of this almost 14 minute film. That is insane considering that Edison's kinetoscope was first introduced to the public in 1894. Enjoy the world's first trip to the moon!
