Le voyage dans la lune




Barbenfouillis, a university professor, presents his theory of using a rocket to transport people to the moon to his colleagues in a classroom. Despite their skepticism, he is determined to prove his idea by building a large gun and a bullet-shaped craft. Along with some friends, they successfully launch into space, but crash on the moon. While resting on the surface, they are captured by strange, skeletal creatures and brought before their queen. The earthlings manage to escape, return to their craft, and safely return to Earth.
