What happens

The Rajah's Dream (French: Le rêve du radjah ou La forêt enchantée) is a silent trick film created and released in 1900 and directed by Georges Méliès. As with at least 4% of Méliès's entire output (including such films as A Trip to the Moon, The Impossible Voyage, The Kingdom of the Fairies, and The Barber of Seville), some prints were individually hand-colored and sold at a higher price.
