This is a rare case where I prefer the film's English language title more than its original French one. "Le Dirigeable Fantastique" was renamed "The Inventor Crazybrains and His Wonderful Airship"--now THAT's a great title!
Like so many of the films by Georges Méliès, he stars in this one and it's a film that is pure goofy fantasy. It begins with some odd women entering the professor's lab and holding him down with a blanket as two weird creatures cavort about. Later, you see that perhaps this is just part of his dream...or not. The dream consists of showing a dirigible seemingly flying across the sky as the Professor sleeps. Oddly, hot ladies of the period keep emanating from the balloon! Then, this sadly ends when the dirigible explodes--and he's once again back in his room! This is a mega-weird short. I am not sure if the plot (for what it is) works too well, but it is nice eye candy.
