In The Beginning: The Bible Stories
Tezuka Osamu no Kyuuyaku Seisho Monogatari: In the Beginning
The Vatican reached out through Italy's national broadcaster with an unusual request: they wanted Osamu Tezuka to adapt the Bible into an animated film. It was an interesting choice considering Tezuka wasn't Christian—they were curious to see how he'd approach the material. He took the job and spent two years developing a pilot based on the Noah's ark story, personally handling both the screenplay and artwork. Tragically, Tezuka died before finishing it. Director Dezaki stepped in to complete the project.
