"Tezuka Osamu no Kyuuyaku Seisho Monogatari: In the Beginning" is a Japanese anime film that retells stories from the Old Testament of the Bible in a unique and imaginative way. The film is based on the work of Osamu Tezuka, a renowned Japanese manga artist and animator. The movie follows the stories of Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, and the Tower of Babel, among others, and presents them with a blend of action, drama, and humor. The film's animation style is inspired by Tezuka's signature "cartoony" look, with vibrant colors and expressive character designs. The movie also explores themes of faith, morality, and humanity's relationship with the divine. Through the Italian National Broadcasting Network, Tezuka Osamu received an ardent request from the Vatican to make the Bible into animated form. This request was probably made to see how the Bible would be depicted by the non-Christian Tezuka Osamu. Tezuka Osamu accepted the request and spent an entire two years to complete a pilot film. It was about the mythology of Noah's ark, with the enthusiastic Tezuka Osamu not only writing the scenario but also drawing pictures by himself. During production, however, he unfortunately passed away, so Director Dezaki took over the film and completed it.
