A Trip to the Moon

Comprised of 30 spectacular tableaux and using 18 fabulously elaborate decors, the innovative and audacious director, Georges Méliès, presents its audience with an imaginative, turn-of-the-century fantasy extravaganza. Under the intrepid Professor Barbenfouillis' presidency at the renowned Institute of Incoherent Astronomy, its esteemed members all conclude that it is high time they ventured into the great unknown by organising an exploratory expedition to the Moon. Before long, the fearless pioneers will land their bullet-shaped spaceship on the seemingly desolate lunar plains, witnessing firsthand the marvels of deep space, unaware; however, that the hordes of the Moon Emperor's dreadful Selenites are ready to fend off the intruders. Can the scientists escape from the dangerous but fascinating celestial body?
