Georges Melies – 1902 Film “A Trip to the Moon”

 Narrated in English. This short 1902 film follows a group of astronomers on a trip to the moon. The first science fiction film and the first animation.

I find this quite fascinating. We actually made something to this effect and literally landed on the moon,  and to know something like this was considered Science Fiction which is now science fact is amazing.
