This collection showcases Méliès’ talent for bringing imagination and fantasy to his films!
Blu-ray/DVD Dual Format Edition (NTSC)
Beginning in 2008, with the release of the award-winning Georges Méliès: First Wizard of Cinema: First Wizard of Cinema, Flicker Alley and Blackhawk Films have featured and celebrated the extraordinary work of Georges Méliès in various Blu-ray, DVD, and digital editions. Now, thanks to the extensive restoration efforts of Lobster Films, viewers will be equally delighted by the clarity, creativity and compositions of this new HD collection.This set features music scores from seven talented musicians, and English narration tracks for select titles (noted below), along with a booklet that includes optional read-along narration to select shorts in the collection.
Over the past ten years, many Méliès elements have been newly rediscovered, and are presented here – many on Blu-ray disc for the first time – culled from the best archival materials and using the most recent restoration technologies available.
Lobster Films (based in Paris, birthplace of Méliès) scanned the best sources for each of these films, and performed an extensive digital restoration, stabilizing the images and regrading faded colors. Eric Lange supervised the entire project.
The nitrate hand-colored prints, and original camera negatives came from major archives and collectors around the world. We thank the EYE Film Institute, Library of Congress, Cinémathèque française, and Národní Filmovy Archiv for their help and their trust.
Special Features Include:
- Narration Tracks – Featuring film historian Serge Bromberg & adapted from George Méliès’ suggestions
- Souvenir Booklet – Forward by Serge Bromberg, rare images & the English-language narration text

Product Description
Over the past ten years, many Méliès elements have been newly rediscovered, and are presented here many on Blu-ray disc for the first time - culled from the best archival materials and using the most recent restoration technologies available. Lobster Films (based in Paris, birthplace of Méliès) scanned the best sources for each of these films, and performed an extensive digital restoration, stabilizing the images and regrading faded colors. Eric Lange supervised the entire project. The nitrate hand-colored prints and original camera negatives came from major archives and collectors around the world. We thank the EYE Film Institute, Library of Congress, Cinémathèque française, and Národní Filmovy Archiv for their help and their trust. Focusing on a selection of hand-colored films, and designed to feature Méliès' love of storytelling, this collection showcases Méliès' talent for bringing imagination and fantasy to his films. The recorded narration tracks mirror the way these turn-of-the-last-century films were originally presented. The accompanying booklet narration texts, when read aloud, transports the magic of these stories to children of all ages. This set features music scores from seven talented musicians, and English narration tracks for select titles (noted below), along with a booklet that includes optional read-along narration to select shorts in the collection. Helping to bring these films to life, is the work of the following talented musicians: Brian Benison, Eric Le Guen, Antonio Coppola, Robert Israel, Neal Kurz, Jeff Mills, Alexander Rannie and Serge Bromberg. Méliès: Fairy Tales in Color will fascinate and entertain both young and old.

For those who have trouble understanding the heavily French-accented narration, the booklet presents the texts.
Anyone with any interest in early cinema should have this compilation (if they don't already have works by Melies).
This is a most for anybody interested in early films and Meilies art as a film maker.

もちろん、映画草創期ということもあり、技術的には、キャメラは据えっぱなしのフルサイズ・ショットで、カット割りも場面転換以外ほとんど使われていない。しかし、背景や小道具の絵が(独特の味がある!)、奥行きや立体感を感じさせるもので、画面に空間的な拡がりを持たせていて、単調さ、窮屈さは一切ない。
短い間に作られたメリエス作品の数々(生涯、500本以上の作品を作ったと言われている)は、110年以上経った現在でも、その奇想天外で、イマジネーション豊かな幻想性で、観る者の目と心を捉えて離さず、新鮮な驚きと魅力を放っているのだ。
本Blu-ray/DVDは、”Méliès Fairy Tales in Color”と題し、1899年から1909年の10年の間に作られたファンタジー色の強いメリエス作品13本を集めたコンピレーション。史実あり、文学作品あり、民話あり、SFあり、ファンタジーあり…と様々な題材を扱いながらも、どの作品にもメリエスらしい茶目っ気と意匠に溢れている。しかも、手着色のプリントなので、夢幻的な味わいがより深い。
収録作品は以下の通り。

本Blu-ray/DVDは、仏Lobster FilmsとBlackhawk Filmsが、オランダEYE Film Institute、米国議会図書館、シネマテーク・フランセーズ、チェコNárodní Filmovy Archiv…など、世界中のフィルム・アーカイヴの協力を得て、現存する最良の着色版35mm素材をフィルム・スキャンし、レストア、カラコレしてHDマスターを作成。
もちろん、細かいキズなど少し残ってはいるが、淡くも鮮やかな色調が繊細に再現され、ディテール表現も細やかな画質になっている。製作年を考えれば、驚異的な美麗画質だ。
2.0ch ドルビー・デジタルの伴奏音楽は、ブライアン・ベニソン、エリック・ル・グエン、アントニオ・コッポラ、ロバート・イスラエル、ニール・クルツ、ジェフ・ミルズ、セルジュ・ブルームバーグによるもので、どれも作品に合っている。また、7作品には、セルジュ・ブルームバーグとファブリス・ザグリーによるナレーションも付けられている。
特典には、セルジュ・ブルームバーグによる文章と貴重な写真が掲載された27頁のブックレットが同梱。
本Blu-ray/DVDは、北米盤ながら、リージョン・コードはR-Free/R-All仕様なので、日本の通常のBlu-rayプレーヤーで問題なく視聴可能だ。
映画ファン必携の家宝的一枚だろう。
