A friend sent this to me -- from a friend of his in France.

It's all in French, but the photos and films are mindblowing. Below is
some of the text that goes with these images:
For the 100th anniversary of the death of Jules Verne:
"Residents of Nantes, France woke to a space capsule
crashed into a smoking pile of rubble in the central
square of the city. Later that day, a giant animatronic
Elephant and entourage of the Sultan paraded into town to visit
The mayor"
"Then, on saturday, the capsule opened to reveal a giant
animatronic girl who walked through the streets,
mischievously sewed a row of parked cars to the street
with a shipping Hauser rope, rode a scooter, and even asked
that the crowd give her some privacy while she used the
toilet."
"This play went on all day -- the Giant and elephant
slept curled together in a park -- for an entire weekend.
People were completely involved in this fantasy, and you can
only imagine the effect it has on the imagination and
passions of children."
