Do all the shorts have English intertitles only? Are any of them with foreign language intertitles?
Are there any composer credits for the scores?

[Matt_Bailey]

I'm not sure if any of them even have intertitles at all. The vast majority of them are just 30-second clips. I know Great Train Robbery and A Trip to the Moon have no intertitles, I've seen them previously, and those are two of the lengthier films in the set.

I didn't see any music credits, but just checking the individual disc cases they're on there.

Disc 1: Music compiled and directed by Robert Israel
Disc 2: Piano accompaniment by Neil Brand
Disc 3: Piano accompaniment by Neil Brand
Disc 4: Music composed and performed by Alexander Rannie
Disc 5: Music compiled and directed by Robert Israel

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

For "A Trip to the Moon", is it black and white or colored?

[Matt_Bailey]

B&W. I think there might be a couple of hand-colored ones though, come to think of it.

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

Added it. Thank you!
