Stworzenie świata

The animation is still pleasantly naive and charming, and it's quite entertaining, but the songs don't sound as innocent as they did when I watched the movie as a child. Jan Werich shows how great of a storyteller he was and how excellently he could act just with his voice. This is a great gift. It's still an above-average animated film about how the world might have come to be - maybe we wouldn't believe it even as children, but as a fairy tale, it's nice. (31.10.2014)

The Creation of the World features a cleverly written script, simple yet distinctive drawing, equally simple but effective animation, and, most notably, charming commentary by Jan Werich. It's a poetic and playful piece that falls short of five stars due to its slower pace and lack of sharper, "Simpsons-like" humor. However, the old-fashioned approach is logical given the film's age, and at the time, it was quite avant-garde. Overall impression: 85%. (07.08.2007)

If it wasn’t for the constant and impossible to ignore references to the abominable communist ideology, I would give it a higher rating. 5/10 (22.10.2009)

If I’d been born into a deeply religious family, I would have surely been thrilled. But since I avoid religion as much as possible, believe in God about as much as I believe in the existence of Santa Claus and, last but not least, I am not a fan of Czech animated films of the 1950s, I was already doomed to dislike this light and musical biblical tale, which, after all, was exactly what happened. Nice execution, score and voice over by Jan Werich. Nothing more, nothing less... (30.07.2012)

I do not believe in God and I definitely wouldn't let my children watch this at too young an age. I see a lot of certain references in it as well. However, it is processed in an incredibly funny and clever way, and therefore, if I overlook the immense orthodoxy that I otherwise do not really acknowledge, I have to give it five stars because it is one of the best animations ever.
