A Trip to Jupiter
The King and his official astronomer are alone in the study viewing the heavenly bodies through the monstrous telescope. They go out on the balcony and the gay old ruler is much absorbed in the phenomenon, and spends some time in studying the stars and planets. The evening has been well spent with the many mysteries which have made such a deep impression upon the King's mind that they are still with him in his dreams. (Moving Picture World synopsis)

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a delicate bridge between scientific observation and pure fantasy, relying on elemental editing to contrast reality and dream. It explores the cosmos's hold on the human psyche through the era's most basic visual tricks.
What lingers after the reel ends is a quiet, intimate sense of wonder—the feeling of witnessing the very first cinematic dream of spaceflight. It’s a foundational daydream for the genre. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Segundo de Chomón

Best viewed in a dim room late at night, as a private séance for star-gazers.
