There are two (2) films. Two, (2) different films. One (1) was an American film, named, "A Trip to the Planets," c.1920(21). The other film is a German film, c.1926, titled, "Our Heavenly Bodies. Two, (2) films. Similar idea, theme, and Era. One American, the other German. (Also, FYI: the 1926, German, film has the placards,or "title cards," as they were called, were in German, not English.) (The world was not as 'international' as it is today.)

"Wunder der Schöpfung" (Germany, 1925), with the English language version called "Our Heavenly Bodies"

see the discussion at the listing for "A Trip To The Planets - silent with added sound"

Good special effects in this one, but man, lots of title cards in this one! Loved the spaceship. The rest was somewhat boring.

If I'm not mistaken this is an 1899 production from French film-maker Georges Melies. Amazing.

Trip to the Planets is a silent documentary made in the early decades of the 20th century. The film has more title cards to read then the primitive images. Seems like some things have been spliced in(probably from another film). The documentary ends very abruptly since the last portion is probably missing. Historically interesting.

Terrific visuals of an interplanetary airship! This appears to be two films in one as made obvious by the two different styles of title cards.

The first film gives us a scientifically accurate description, remarkable for its time, of the solar system, with occasional apologies to religious folks. It's funny how these basic facts, known for almost a century, are still disputed by some even today!

The other film appears narrate a journey into space on a wonderfully deco/streamlined airship! Sort of an early 20th century episode of Cosmos.

Lots of fun!
