A Trip to the Moon

00:00:02 A Trip to the Moon by George Melies

00:00:52 The president takes his chair

00:01:39 at his head.

00:02:28 to accompany him:

00:03:32 A workman informs the astronomers that if they would ascend to the roof

00:03:58 At the signal, a mass of molten steel is directed

00:04:35 ...respond to the acclamations of the crowd...

00:05:46 Everyone is waiting for the signal

00:06:09 the moon magnifies rapidly

00:06:52 Against the horizon, the Earth is rising slowly into space

00:07:20 The astronomers show signs of fatigue

00:07:47 who seem annoyed

00:08:01 and of charming young girls

00:08:18 The cold becomes unbearable.

00:08:38 in which they disappear one-by-one

00:09:03 but the umbrella suddenly takes root

00:09:20 while making singular contortions.

00:09:33 and with a stroke of his umbrella

00:09:53 On a splendid throne

00:10:09 throws him violently on the ground.

00:10:38 At last, the astronomers have found the shell

00:10:53 He rushes to the rope

00:11:20 The shell balances

00:12:01 and the general ovation awaits their happy return.
