"Animation is a vehicle for its story and themes." The glassworker is monumental, not only in its expression but also its journey.

I'm still in disbelief this is Pakistans first official animation and it's already so impressive

3:21 i love how every character has so much depth. they’re perfectly imperfect and their tiny flaws create a more sentimental connection between the characters and the viewer.

[dinahkamal]

A beautiful and much needed message! I certainly do hope it spreads far and wide IA✨️

3:37 Couldn't agree more. Without animation, I feel like there are so many themes that couldn't be conveyed in such a powerful way. The ability to exaggerate and emphasize human emotions though animation is breathtaking and something I will always view as magic.

It is truly a very wonderful film and reminds me of Hayao Mizayaki's films. It is a great achievement, and because I am from the Middle East, I see in it a glimpse of Islamic civilization, and it will be released on my birthday! Wonderful, and it kind of reflects the suffering of Palestine. There is only one thing 10 years is kind of a bit lot .
