The earliest movie mermaids

[AptaMer]

I found a neat link I htought I'd pass on. It's to what is believed to be the earliest appearance of a mermaid in a movie, The Mermaid, by Georges Melies from 1904!

Also, here's the amazing Anette Kellerman ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annette_Kellerman ) in Siren of the Sea from 1911

You can see the technical sophistication of the moviemaking process growing as time goes by. Anyways, I though it's an interesting piece of history.
