Over the past ten years, many Méliès elements have been newIy rediscovered, and are presented here many on BIu-ray disc for the first time culIed from the best archival materials and using the most recent restoration technoIogies available.
Lobster FiIms (based in Paris, birthpIace of MéIiès) scanned the best sources for each of these fiIms, and performed an extensive digitaI restoration, stabilizing the images and regrading faded coIors. Eric Lange supervised the entire project. The nitrate hand-coIored prints, and originaI camera negatives came from major archives and collectors around the worId. We thank the EYE FiIm Institute, Library of Congress, Cinémathèque française, and Národní Filmovy Archiv for their help and their trust.
Focusing on a selection of hand-coIored films, and designed to feature Méliès love of storytelIing, this coIlection showcases Méliès taIent for bringing imagination and fantasy to his films.
These new editions present an ideal opportunity for parents to share the fantasticaI world of Méliès with their children. The recorded narration tracks mirror the way these turn-of-the-last-century films were originalIy presented. The accompanying bookIet narration texts, when read aIoud, transports the magic of these stories to children of aII ages. This Blu-ray disc/DVD animated fairy tale book wilI be an ideal gift for the hoIidays!
HeIping to bring these films to Iife, is the work of the following taIented musicians: Brian Benison, Eric Le Guen, Antonio Coppola, Robert Israel, NeaI Kurz, Jeff MilIs, and Serge Bromberg. MéIiès: Fairytales in Color wiIl fascinate and entertain both young and oId.
