The review
Britain, 1901, the same year as Méliès's inflating head, and this is not that film. Robert W. Paul gives you a knight, a witch, and a giant, told with giant and miniature figures. A child can watch it. The size is the thrill.
I kept waiting for the quest to turn into a story, and it doesn't. You get the change in scale, and then the minute is over. Useful if someone asks how an early British picture faked a giant. Not something we kept on for a second look.

The glance
Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

Consider this
Monster High: The Movie
31 instead of 20
Monster High: The Movie is still a fantasy film, and it scores 31 instead of 20. What you gain is household: Friendship as the lyric.
The eight
- 2Industry
A knight on a quest is a costume, not work that matters.
- 1Household
No parent, child, or marriage shows up on the quest.
- 1Piety
A witch is in it; nobody's conscience is asked to stop.
- 2Courage
The knight is on a quest, but the thrill sold is the size.
- 1Republic
No town or law is served; the giant is there for scale.
- 2Temperance
The pleasure is the next change in size, and then it ends.
- 4Truth
It is Paul's film, not Méliès's inflating head that same year.
- 3Stewardship
Left behind is a British scale trick, separate from Méliès.
