The first movie with nonhuman humanoid aliens?
Here is a link to a post asking if The Man From Planet X (1951) is the first movie with a non human humanoid alien: https://moviechat.org/tt0043778/The-Man-from-Planet-X/58c704ec4e1cf308b93618a4/Earliest-use-of-a-non-human-humanoid
And my answer in that was:
As I remember the first chapter of the serial Flash Gordon's Trip To Mars (1938) begins as Flash Gordon & Co. return to Earth to a hero's welcome and everything seems fine.
Then a teleportation beam strikes Earth and two nonhuman humanoid aliens materialize on Earth. They insert a device in the ground, activate it, and die. Watching from Mars, Azura Queen of magic says they have just seen the deaths of two of her most loyal subjects, and with his usual degree of empathy Ming the Merciless says that is a small price to pay for the destruction of Earth.
You can watch the chapter online to decide if those two aliens are non human enough to qualify. And Queen Azura also transforms human-looking Martians who displease her into clay people who look a lot less human.
So maybe the first movie with nonhuman humanoid aliens is Flash Gordon's Trip To Mars (1938), if it has any aliens nonhuman enough, and if a movie serial counts as a movie.
So what do you think?

An answer here: https://moviechat.org/tt0043778/The-Man-from-Planet-X/58c704ec4e1cf308b93618a4/Earliest-use-of-a-non-human-humanoid?reply=5d6f38eb6d9f8a3eb4444cc4 says the first nonhuman humanoid aliens in a movie were in A Trip to the Moon (1902) and it seems obvious that it would be really hard to find an earlier example.

If the Selenites in A Trip to the Moon (1902) are nonhuman enough to count, they appeared about 49 years before The Man From Planet X (1951) and about 36 years before Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars (1938). share
