Its nice to see someone continuing hand drawn legacy other than studio ghibli

[ChefShabana]

Disney: No
Mano Studios: Ok let's bring hand drawn animation back!

[CritStanley]

I hope this gets a world wide release. It deserves international attention!

[kibathefang]

You need to release this worldwide. We need to support this. Disney has forgotten its roots and everything is 3D. Yet the magic of handdrawn for stories like these is unmatched. Japan can't only be the one to maintain it.

[acakecat]

WOW, a ghibli inspired film to be released to a Pakistani audience, this looks incredible. I hope the creator are successful in there goals

[doghuu]

As Indian I truly appreciate creativity of Pakistan ❤

[emonizaz]

OMG 😱 this is from our south Asia ❤
Why no one is talking about it?
Great job Pakistan .
Love from Bangladesh

[infinitytekker]

Just came from the theatre after watching it. The story, animation and art style are all top-notch. Mano animation studios have done a splendid job, and they deserve all the praise they are getting.❤

I can't believe That it really happened!!!
Feeling really really happy and Proud 🥲

[tinaj]

You can really feel how much of a love letter this is to Miyazaki, specifically Howls Moving Castle. This looks absolutely stunning!

[DesignByFaizi]

I might not be in Pakistan when this will be released but I promise to come back just to watch it in both languages.

[izumocore]

Hope they get an Oscar nominations next year

[raniaartacademy]

Now Pakistan is actually developing its animation industry 🇵🇰❤

[ITs_Hassan-]

Never expected this from Pakistan someone continuing the hand-drawn ghibli art style style and their legacy

[MayaMachina-ns]

And here I thought Japan would be the only remaining source of 2D animation.
Please continue your work for years to come, Mano, it would be beyond beautiful to see Pakistan to be another lead in the animation industry <3

[mythicalorchids]

This is beautiful work. Love from ID 🇮🇩

[feedfancier]

Miyazaki retires for the 147th time.
Studio Mano: "Fine, I'll do it myself."

[AliAsif]

This is FANTASTIC. As a Studio Ghibli fan, this is an amazing love letter to the style and visuals of the movies. So proud of my Pakistani brethren

[rksounds]

Pakistani animation going crazy 😱
Love from 🇮🇳

There was an article on BBC news in the UK today. This looks incredible 10 years of dedication just really inspiring, it doesn’t mater where you are in the world, if you love something and have passion and determination, the sky’s the limit. Really proud for Pakistan, this needs a world wide release. Love from UK
