A fairy good ending

 

The Wizard, the Prince and the Good Fairy (1900)


Directed by Georges Melies this is an early short film. A prince is saved from the tricks of a wizard by a fairy.


Normally in folklore it is the fairies that are the tricksters so this film does invert expectations a little. The camera tricks and setting are pretty nice. Another solid entry from Melies.


3/5
