[super8m0nsters]

WTF HAPPENED TO MY VIDEO??? IT'S SMALLER!!!

[lonenut740]

music sucks

[zoquibax]

reminds me of the mighty boosh

[tbaumgar1]

I saw this in HD today!! The details actually enhanced this! The monster near the end looks incredible. So imaginative and clever considering the limitations at the time. Maybe even better than A Trip to the Moon!

George Mèlies è stato veramente un grande regista, sembrano ridicoli i suoi filmetti a qualcuno, ma bisogna riconoscere però che questi "filmetti ridicoli" hanno iniziato la storia del cinema fantastico!!

[JinLouSei]

What's the name of the song on the soundtrack?

[super8m0nsters]

@JinLouSei

i don't know. i hate it. i wish it could upload my own music to it instead of their "library".

@super8m0nsters

How in the world can someone hate Coltrane?

[exmxa]

What the hell with this music?

[MrFlashBazbo]

@exmxa

OK Fine fuck you all....This is a very rare pairing of John Coltrane Count Basie Duke Ellinton and Gene Krupa and it is WONDERFUL!

[TheElissaS]

It has to be obvious that this isn't the original music. I don't think this tune suits this movie AT ALL!; Now, I liked the Marilyn Manson someone put together with the Mickey Mouse Halloween flick and I can't call myself an M.M. fan-butTHAT WORKED and now I want to listen to some Marilyn.BUT THIS MUSIC-----there isn't one NOTE that's in sync with anything goin' on in this flick and if you listened to the music alone, with ur eyes closed, one would NEVER conjure up this in their heads.

[MrFlashBazbo]

@TheElissaS

HOW CAN ANYONE HATE COLTRANE??

[TheElissaS]

@MrFlashBazbo Oh, my!  I didn't mean my comment to come off as not liking Coltrane! I just didn't think that particular music matched the cartoon. My apologies!

[quaxk]

what a hoot this short is, méliès was a surrealist genius

[quaxk]

rotfl, what the hell -> 2:07

[maxLeifermann]

I like the music for this...

[Tobiasplease]

[TheRussellicious]

I fucking hate when somebody adding they shitty music to cool movies

[MrFlashBazbo]

@TheRussellicious

Like I said How can someone Hate Coltrane?? It's like hating Ellington or Basie or Bleeding Gums Murphy!

[TheRussellicious]

stupid adding shit music you retard

[Tobiasplease]

Way to overreact dude.

[b4ifly2paradise]

WOW! I kept hoping this would crop up somewhere.

I love that legendary clip of the snow monster.

Thank you for posting.

[psynno1]

I think the music suits it in a way. it's very atmospheric

[Clepto202]

What language??

[neobarockloki86]

Very nice. But the music is ... kinda, not bad, but its to tragical or something.

[kuhnigget]

Cool! Saw pictures of the snow giant in Famous Monsters of Filmland 30 years ago...always wanted to see it! Thanks for posting.

[super8m0nsters]

I read about this in FM too. And was hooked.

When I was a little kid, I shot a crude 8mm version of this movie using Star Wars action figures and a giant clay monster. Alas it doesn't exist anymore.

But, my stop-motion version "Trip to the Moon" did survive the test of time and hope to upload it someday.

[ryuouji]

@super8m0nsters I'd like to see that home movie! I'm interested in making my own home movies sometime...

[BaltoMovie]

translate)?

[DerTrommler3D]

I've been waiting to see part of this movie for years. I saw an excerpt of it on TMC along time ago on a speciel dedicated to classic silent horror movies, and it just blew my mind.

[super8m0nsters]

The giant ice man puppet should be reproduced the way the Germans build statues in tribute to Paul Wegener as Der Golem.

[santasxgirlfriend]

cool!

[wsbtam]

Great to see this classic...but could you have found some music a BIT more apporpiate??

[BethlehemFilms17]

I hope they restore this movie.

[super8m0nsters]

me too.

[hando88c]

Where did you get this not seen this on any dvd ?

[super8m0nsters]

30 years ago out of a mail order catalogue.

[HurkFun]

WTF are they smoking on the way to the north pole?

This is awesome.

[BaltoMovie]
