Grandmother's Tale and Child's Dream

Overview

The film begins with a grandmother reading a story to a small child (played by Georges Méliès's son, André) before tucking him into bed. No sooner has the mite fallen asleep than he begins dreaming of an angel standing over his bed and whisking him off to a land of giant toys. The kid wanders around for a bit before being led away by a lady who takes him to a forest where other young ladies dressed as butterflies dance around a bit.
