Notes:
Actually begins with gods creating the world, then uses the story of a caveman and his snake friend (or Adam and the serpent?) to demonstrate fire safety before moving on to a hateful couple who destroy everything they touch with fire. A horrifying film on pretty much every possible level. Eva Szasz, director of Cosmic Zoom, is credited onscreen as being part of the animation team.
