    Trivia: There are 6 entries in the trivia list - like these:

    • After finishing work on the film, George Melies intended to release it in America and thereby make lots of money. Unfortunately, Thomas A. Edisons film technicians had already secretly made copies of the film, which was showed across the USA within weeks. Melies never made any money from the films American showings, and went broke several years later (while Edison made a fortune on the film.)
    • The "space cannon" method of launching spacecraft was later reused in Things to Come (1936).
    • One of the earliest known science fiction films. A segment near the end was animated, making this one of the first animated films, too.
