It's essential viewing, I mean it's only around 14 minutes long, and is a classic piece of cinema with fairly impressive special effects when we consider its historical placement.
You can watch it for free here, as with a lot of old films the copyright ran out and it's public domain.

Mad for the silents - but plenty of people have seen it! Méliès made some very charming films smile.

Yea, I feel awful that Edison ripped him off by copying and distributing his films in America before he could copyright them.

Yea, Edison was rather the theif when it came to inventing, and although he invented many things we still use today, a lot were stolen or merely elaborated upon, ideas from other sources. Not that this makes the man any less great, I suppose.
