Le Voyage dans la lune is a 1902 French sci-fi black and white silent film based on a Jules Verne novel. It was written and directed by Georges Méliès. Running time is 14 minutes at 16 fps.

It is recognized as one of the first sci-fi genre films and for animation.

Méliès had intended on releasing the film into the United States to profit from it, however, Thomas A. Edison's film technicians had secretly made copies of it and distributed it throughout the country thus putting money into Edison's pocket. Méliès never profited from it and eventually went broke.
