The Beginning of the Universe is quite a unique piece from 1982. It's an animated exploration of the creation myth, specifically the tale of Pangu, and it really captures that raw essence of chaos transforming into order. The pacing has this dreamy, almost floaty quality, which mirrors the themes of creation and separation beautifully. Visually, it’s distinctive for its hand-drawn style, utilizing a blend of colors that evoke a sense of ancient mythology. You can see the care in practical effects, like the way Pangu's body morphs into celestial bodies, which adds this tactile feel to the cosmic narrative. The atmosphere is contemplative yet vibrant, inviting viewers to ponder their place in the cosmos, and that’s something you don’t see every day.
