    Bro was engulfed in flames yet felt the need to strike his match😭

    Probably Méliès best if you ask me. Very fun to watch and pick out what’s painted, sets, models, and real.

They never bring the movie to a halt though because you’re enjoying the chemistry between all our leads too much to care.
