If this hypothesis is true, both films survive.^[17]

47. ^Vilas-Boas, Eric; Maher, John, eds. (October 5, 2020)."The 100 Sequences That Shaped Animation".Vulture.It was at the studio that Méliès made over 500 shorts, including his most famous work Le Voyage Dans la Lune (A Trip to the Moon) and not as well known but just as beloved works such as L'Œuf du Sorcier (1902), also known as The Prolific Magical Egg. The film, directed by and starring Méliès, is an example of early stop-motion SFX as the film sees the magician make an egg appear in a deft sleight of hand and then grow the egg until it turns into not one but three giant heads, which then merge into a goblinesque facade.
