I remember seeing part of "Le Voyage dans la Lune" on TV, as part of coverage of the Apollo 11 mission. So I knew a little of Melies. I heard of "Hugo," and right now have a DVD copy on loan from Netflix. I've watched it over and over. I find it ironic that some day, its blue-&-red palette (for 3D) will also some day seem quaint and old-fashioned. It will still be a wonderful look at even older wonders. :-)
the film featured a final scene depicting a celebratory parade in honor of the travelers' return. Until recently, this scene was considered lost, and did not appear on any commercially available editions. However, a complete cut of the film was discovered in a French barn in 2002. Not only is it the most complete cut of the movie, but it is also entirely hand-colored. It was restored and premiered in 2003 at the Pordenone Silent Film Festival.
Psychedelia a la 1902. That color is hallucinatory and gorgeous and really helps kick the films fantastics into a whole different level of visual experience. Although the film was hand colored, frame by frame, I read that it was done in commercial, post production studios set up especially to do that. Be great if the colorizers of today could make such intense, vibrant colors. Of course they will sooner or later.
Indeed, it was common in those days for prints to be hand-colored frame by frame (and even more common for different scenes to be dyed different colors, to evoke particular emotions). This made the whole argument over Turner colorizations of black & white films in the 1980s/1990s somewhat ironic. People had been colorizing films since the beginning of film!
This version is the lost version of the film there should be a ending with this version that was cut from the original from 1902 , However, a complete cut of the film was discovered in a French barn in 2002.
jellyboy123 this movie is from 1904 you must be meaning a trip to the moon from 1902 you might find a complete film verison on youtube but its projected very fast
I absolutely love this. It's like a sequel to "a trip to the moon" Wonderful.

And thank you for sharing this clip. I wish Melies could get a visit by time machine, to show him how such short films are ideal for TH-cam. :-)

both A Trip to the Moon, and this inspired it. Remember, they were not shot up to the moon in a cannon in the video, but flew up there in a zeppelin.

The man was simply a genious.
Has your spelling improved after 13 years?
@ThrilloVanHouten Each frame was individually hand painted back in 1094, this is how people over 100 years ago would have seen it
They were smart in taking a trip to the sun at night!
No, "Tonight Tonight" is inspired by "Le voyage dans la lune / The trip to the moon"
WHAT A TRIP! :D
by the way jellyboy123 a trip to the moon is also called le voyage dans la lune
Exactly!
jellyboy123 this movie is from 1904 you must be meaning a trip to the moon from 1902 you might find a complete film verison on youtube but its projected very fast
It must have been a pain in the ass to hand color this
whoa..trippy!
it is the voyage through the inpossible...
Indeed... :(
Where can I watch the copy found in 2002? Has it been digitized and uploaded to the internet?
@jellyboy123 thats a trip to the moon
Was this the Melies film that was colorized by hand?
nvm, I hadn't been watching this movie as I posted the one before this...
Is this a colorized version from the early 1900s, or something more modern?
Hugo brought me here.
Anybody knows who's the song author? or is just parts of known melodies?
not cinema (muybridge-marey-lumiere brothers) but definitely animation...and sci-fi by the way....
;P
