The rest of the films Cohl made for Gaumont involve strange transformations (" Les Joyeaux Microbes " Joyous Microbes ", aka " The Merry Microbes " ( UK ) ( 1909 )), some great matte effects (" Clair de lune espagnol " Moonlight ", aka " The Man in the Moon " ( US ), aka " The Moon-Struck Matador " ( UK ) ( 1909 )), and loving puppet animation (" Le Tout Petit Faust " Little Faust ", aka " The Beautiful Margaret " ( US ) ( 1910 )).

Motifs of Cohl's can be found in Little Nemo and later films by McCay: the dots coalescing into Little Nemo reflect effects in Un Drame chez les fantoches and Les Joyeaux Microbes ; the metamorphosis of the rose into the Princess may have been inspired by Fantasmagorie ; the titular character of The Story of a Mosquito ( 1912 ) sharpening his beak comes from Un Drame chez les fantoches ; the live-action / animation interaction of McCay throwing a pumpkin to Gertie the Dinosaur ( 1914 ) may have been an answer to the matador hurling his hatchet at the moon in " Clair de lune espagnol ".
