La Fée aux Choux (The Cabbage Fairy, 1896) is considered the first fictional film with a scripted narrative. It was created by trailblazing French filmmaker Alice Guy-Blaché. It’s a brief fantasy tale involving a strange fairy who can produce and deliver babies coming out of cabbages, like the classic fairy tale. Some think The Cabbage-Patch Fairy is a lost film, but it’s so similar to Guy Blaché’s later works, others believe it never existed.
