Jupiter's Thunderballs
With godly entrapments, Zeus appears on the horizon, engages Hermes as an audience, and tries to throw some thunderbolts. They fizzle. Hephaestus tries to make some repairs but succeeds only in heating the bolts and burning Zeus's hands. Zeus conjures nine muses, but do their incantations help? He dismisses them as well as a visiting Pan, and his fits of pique become counter-productive. Can he get his powers back?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its comedy from the contrast between divine majesty and very human frustration, relying on expressive pantomime and clever early-cinema trick effects.
What lingers after viewing is the charming absurdity of an all-powerful god thrown into a fit of petty, counterproductive rage. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Georges Méliès

With afternoon tea, as a whimsical theatrical sketch.
