Adam is a 1991 6-minute animated short film written, animated and directed by Peter Lord that was nominated for an academy award for best short film, and won the equivalent award at BAFTA in 1992 as well as the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in 1993. It is based on the beginning of the Book of Genesis.
Adam is a man who is created by the Hand of God and is put on this lonely planet. He does silly acts and does all sorts of strange things. When God realises that Adam is lonely, he makes Adam a friend. Adam, expecting it to be a woman, gets himself ready as if for a date only to find out his new friend is a penguin.
