Wow, i thought this was deader than elvis.
I saw some Melies shorts back when I was taking Cinema from Larry Gottheim in the seventies. They were only seventy years old back then, not more than a hundred, but that's not the only thing that makes these movies seem more amazing now. There's Martin Scorcese's HUGO, of course, but there's also Tim Burton, and Pixar, and Joss Whedon, and Star Wars, and every summer comic book movie.
I'm having a hard time believing that these films were colored by hand. I saw some hand-colored melies shorts back then, and they weren't nearly as amazing as this. Has someone with a PC carried out a hoax? Perhaps, but I prefer to think of it as "AN ILLUSION".
