But I didn't realize until just now, that this is not the first film adaptation.
(Don't be fooled, Le Voyage dans la Lune(1901) is an unauthorized rip-off of the Jules Verne novel with a similar plot, not the Wells book.)
The first film adaptation was from 1919. Sadly the film is now lost and no known copies survive. Which is a shame, but this production still looks amazing :

in reply to Andy L. • • •Even in 1919 people complained that the special effects were low-budget?
Oh, man. This movie must have been amazing.
If anyone's got a copy sitting around in their attic or something, please hand it over to a film preservation society. I really want to watch this lost film.

This is amazing. I hope this scene is in the #monsterdon film.
