The Enchanted Well (1903) Georges Méliès
This film was directed / created by Georges Méliès and released in France in 1903 under the name, "Le Puits Fantastique."
Towns people walk past the village well. A man and a mule stop nearby as the man prepares to get water. An old lady accosts the man and begs a hand-out, but the man refuses. As he turns back to deal with his mule, the lady reveals herself a witch and curses the well, then leaves, shaking her fist.
The man returns and fetches water, but when he pours it from the well bucket into his own bucket, the water turns to flame. A demon appears over the well, laughing at the man. As the man rushes at the well, the demon disappears, and the well suddenly surges out of the ground into the sky like Jack's beanstalk.
Two snakes come out of the side of the well and taunt the man, then disappear. Three demons appear, jeer at the man, and disappear. The base of the well opens up and a dragon emerges, classic Méliès!

Yo they live in Pussyville?? I think I should pack my bags 😼
I cant hear
Very old. 1908 is from 100 years early ago 2008, the year I was born. This is from 116 years ago, which is insanely long. It's not gonna be on the air.
Still the coolest person from 1908
The music isn't at all fitting for this comedy. The copy is pretty good, though.
hey ive been waiting 126 years, has he really not had another dream since?
Taken From Argentina Cartoons

Weirdly more haunting than modern horror.

0:29 Lets ignore this one💀
A real genius....
Melies was way ahead of his time, he had nothing to look back on as an example, he just had to create movies as he saw fit. I think his work had to have been looked at by, and inspired directors and producers of early 20th century Hollywood.
This is amazing for 1898.
OK I know there are a lot of comments about Felix committing suicide at the end. But y’all need to get this cartoons were supposed to be meant for adults back in the 1920s and 30s. And back in those days suicide wasn’t really a big deal and used to be played as a joke but now the government has become really sensitive and that’s why you don’t see a lot of those jokes in today’s shows. Like I always say, it’s important to accept that the past is the past, and we shouldn’t try to erase it because those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.
2 spooky 4 me
The first horror movie ever created!
Compared to now day horror films, honestly, this isn't too bad if you really think about it. This move is old.
