​@@sakibush But I think we can agree they did the best they could with the studio's resources. I would give it a try, I really want to be surprised. I like the concept enough to hope the script will compensate for technical short downs. When people compare this with ghibli, I don't think they're actually saying "it's at the same level artistically and technically". I think it's more like "it feels similar to those aesthetics, concepts and scripts I loved from that other studio". People miss so much the old works from Ghibli that they want to expect something new but, at the same time, similar to those experiences.

[@kingkiller5325]

@@kaneidareyue7715 The idea of countries depicting their own people in movies has never strictly been true for Animated movies. And this has been doubly true for Fantasy movies that are not based on or in any one specific culture. Look at Disney's Animated movies. Pinocchio is based in Italy. Snow White in Germany. Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast both in France. And Alladin in Middle East/Persia. Despite the fact that all of these movies were made in USA and by USA. This movie is not depicting western people because it's a Fantasy movie. Not based on a real country. It's depiction seem Western because it's heavily inspired by Studio Ghibli films which also have western friendly depictions. Also ofcourse this animated movie is the ultimate form of escapism. It's not meant to nor is it obligated to depict life in Pakistan. It's not self hatred. Otherwise like I said you would have to agrue that movies like Alladin were results of Self Hatred for people over at Disney. Avatar The Last Airbender was a result of Self Hatred for people over at Nick. And Animes like Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and Attack on Titan which do not have a singular depiction of Japanese characters or Japanese Culture and are almost exclusively based in depiction of Germanic characters, Germanic culture and Germanic architecture are also a result of self hatred by the Japanese. Lastly while the main characters are indeed western. The movie does indeed depict the common people to be very close to Pakistani's in their culture through depiction of traditional Pakistani clothing and Food. It's in the trailer and has been confirmed otherwise. One could argue that it's a fictionalized Fantastical depiction of the Colonial Era Pakistan/India when the Military Higher Ups still largely if not entirely comprised of Englishmen.

I grew up in the early 2000s the middle of the Disney renaissance, and a time where 2d animation in the west, while at its peak, was dying/being abandoned. Seeing this trailer, made me feel like a kid again. Thank you in advance for such a visually beautiful story. I eagerly await its release.

It's truly great to see a piece of art that exposes war for what it truly is under the thinly disguised layer of jingoistic platitudes: "idiocy."

[@alexlyster3459]

It's not the first piece of art to do so, but seeing as wars keep happening, artists like this will clearly just have to keep making them until everyone gets the message 😅

[@yashanim]

@@alexlyster3459 Yeah, I do realise that. But since the whole of subcontinent seems to be infested with a culture of military worship and glorification of weapons (that can cause mass destruction), it's pretty hard to find voices like these. The mainstream movies that cover war here, tend to glorify it rather than dismantling the hero system. I'm especially impressed, since this movie not only showcases technical brilliance but also tries to speak truth to power.

[@alexlyster3459]

@yashanim Oh absolutely! I was just pointing out how somewhat depressing it is that we need to keep on making these films, precisely because there are so few of those voices.

[@codyshi4743]

Well done my iron brother Pakistan 🇵🇰 👏👏👏. Really love the effort and creativity that your animation industry are putting into making this beautiful animated movie. It’s just as beautiful as our donghua and the Japanese anime. Huge respect from your iron brother China 🇨🇳. I really hope to watch it in my country someday.

Why are they Caucasian?

[@hkilife6328]

@@suezcontours6653 why not ? I see that he takes a lot of visual inspiration from Hayao Miyazaki (studio Ghibli) who also loves using caucasian characters for this tale . I see other visual references like the 1990 "the nutcracker prince" cartoon . He seems to like the same type of universe and characters and there's nothing wrong with that , artists should not be limited or feel obligated by DEI "diversity" requirements. and ps : pakistani people can have gree eyes or red hair so those charactes could also be pakistani , just compare with real stock footage of pakistani people with these traits .

@@hkilife6328 It goes a long way to show appreciation to your own women: your mothers, sisters, daughters to represent them as the ideal. Do NOT pedestal or make another are of woman the object of your desire. That's how you conquer a country and disrupt its culture. Haven't you learned form Dune?

1:48 "to be an artist one must create. because without art and music what do we have in this world full of conflict" 😭this is not something new to me, but to hear this from somebody else makes always makes a little emotional coz people who think like this are increasingly rare. brother, if it's possible, please try to get it released in India. if a theatrical release is not possible, be sneaky and get netflix or amazon to do their magic. this is worth paying for. got chills multiple times watching this. doesn't happen often.
