Penciller(s): Georges Méliès
Letterer(s): typeset
Subject Matter
Genres: historical
Character(s): Hugo Cabret; Isabelle; Papa Georges [Georges Méliès]; Madame Méliès; Etienne; Harold Lloyd (cameo)
Synopsis: Orphaned Hugo lives in hiding in a 1930s Paris train station, secretly doing his late uncle's job by tending the station clocks. When he tries to steal from a toymaker's stall the toymaker forces him to work off his pilferings, and Hugo readily repairs broken toys. The toymaker's goddaughter befriends him, and he slowly becomes part of the family. Hugo finishes his late father's work of restoring an automaton, hoping it will write a final message from his father. Instead, it sketches a scene from a movie by the automaton's original maker, Georges Méliès.

As he is gravely ill they work the toy stall to buy his medicine, and make contact with the Film Academy. Scholars there are thunderstruck to learn that Méliès still lives, and finally convince him to help them mount a retrospective and celebration of his work. At the show's conclusion Méliès applauds the members of the audience -- the enthusiasts of film -- as the true wizards of dreams.
