Synopsis

The Impossible Voyage, also known as An Impossible Voyage and Whirling the Worlds, is a 1904 French silent trick film directed by Georges Méliès. Inspired by Jules Verne's and Adolphe d'Ennery's 1882 play Journey Through the Impossible, and modeled in style and format on Méliès's highly successful 1902 film A Trip to the Moon, the film is a satire of scientific exploration in which a group of geographically minded tourists attempt a journey to the Sun using various methods of transportation. The film was a significant international success at the time of its release, and has been well received by film historians.

i can watch this a million + times and it still dazzles me :) yes USABG58 i did see the movie and thought it was very neat. i saw the 3D version :) however i was ans still am confused about what hugo had to do with it. as far as i have read on several web searches including imdb, i havent found anything about a boy named hugo as being part of Georges Méliès life.
