{fr} Cendrillon / {en} Cinderella [1] (France, 1899), directed by Georges Méliès, starring Mlle Barral, Bleuette Bernon, Jeanne d'Alcy, and Georges Méliès. <silent; 6 min.> <YouTube>

Cinderella was Méliès's first film with multiple scenes (tableaux), using six distinct sets and five changes of scene within the film. Méliès modeled the film's visual style on the engravings of Gustave Doré, who had illustrated the story for an edition of Perrault's fairy tales. The special effects were created with multiple exposures, dissolves, and substitution splices.
