A good portrayal of an ancient belief

Many believers of the Bible may wince when they watch this Aardman short based on the first man and God, but it is likely to entertain them in some way otherwise. People who do not believe the Bible are more likely to love this, the absurdity of "the hand of God" (played by a real human hand) and Adam being a coward and being surprisingly stupid - which makes him more the irresistibly lovable!

Basically, this "amazing" short to watch, is based on the first man, Adam, coming down to a rather barren, rocky earth and learning to be like a man. The plasticene animation makes Adam look very entertaining and the hand of God is done very well as well. The background is also surprisingly unnerving and realistic.

So, if I am not mistaken, you should be entertained by this short. Enjoy "Adam".
