History of the World in Three Minutes Flat

History of the World in Three Minutes Flat is a 1980 Canadian animated short film,[3] directed by Michael Mills.

The film depicts a history of life on Earth, beginning with God (who had been given seven days to create the world but wasted the first six) hurriedly putting together the planet.

Scenes rapidly progress from Biblical times to the Romans, Egyptians, the Dark Ages, the World Wars and finally up to the current day, where a group of people are seen arguing.

When God yawns, however, the people begin to dance the curry their creator's favour.

The short was animated by Bill Speers, John Gaug, Jim Hiltz, and Rick Bowan.
