Good isn't it and just five years after the first ever film

Marvellous, and so playful. Innovation in art needs a light touch, or it just comes across as show-offish.

I think Melies' film is what Buster Keaton was making homage to in The Play House, where he played all the members of an orchestra — and the audience.
