Animation can contain rapid flashing, strobing, or high-contrast scenes that may affect viewers with photosensitive epilepsy. If you are sensitive to flashing light, take care — and on devices that support it, enable “reduce motion.”

In The Beginning: Stories from the Bible
Synopsis
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 story 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. (Source: AniDB)
