Less than 3 minutes of delirious, delightful, hallucinogenic fantasy. You can sense a pure enthusiasm for the possibilities of the medium.

A pretty surreal 3 minutes, director Segundo de Chomón incorporates a Georges Méliès approach of using camera tricks to create a fantastical series of images but this short lacks the pioneering inventiveness & humour of Méliès - although it has a pleasant dreamlike quality which makes it nice to watch.

A nice piece of phantasmagoria. A 1907 special effects movie that still looks really good, and plays well

This is one of the best early films. It's quite short, but it's absolutely entrancing and beautiful.

Outstanding color-play. Doesn't make much sense, but god damn this is mesmerizing stuff. One of the gems of the early films.
