The Inventor Crazybrains and His Wonderful Airship
Original title: Le dirigeable fantastique
1905 · 3 min
Georges MélièsCast
Plot
An inventor dreams that his newly designed airship takes flight.
Sinekatalog’s take
A tiny Méliès fantasy in which an inventor dreams his airship takes off. The painted sets and trick effects are the real show. Charming for anyone interested in how early cinema conjured wonder out of simple tricks.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
