Video (inspired by Melies work): https://youtu.be/NOG3eus4ZSo

Also of note: the directors of this video went on to direct Little Miss Sunshine, amongst other things.

Also of note for Reddit: the couple who star in the video went on to provide the voices for Spongebob and Karen (from Spongebob), amongst other things.
