About The Creation of the World
La Création du Monde is among the first animated feature films made in France. But to be exact, the film was animated in Czechia and directed by Eduard Hofman. It is adapted from a series of five books by Jean Effel, a French caricaturist and illustrator. The visual style is adapted from his drawings. The film is a comedy about the creation of the universe in six days, with the devil messing around and contributing in his own way.
Directed by Eduard Hofman, The Creation of the World leans on a strong ensemble — Jan Werich, Georges Aminel, François Périer — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1958.
