Naturally, this is simpler than what Méliès would go on to do later, but he really was a charmer from the start.

Even in early Méliès stuff he seems to be going about things differently, having fun, cleaner cuts etc.

Compare this to Lumiere's contemporaneous Skeleton Dance, and Melies' genius is revealed.

Early Méliès.
