Thank you. That was always the plan - Usman Riaz

then look mary and the witchs flower from studio ponoc

@@kirillplaksin8716 Aren’t they ghibli’s successors?

if only it wasn't a blatant rip off of miyazaki movies

​@@solarydays You know that creative works can take inspiration from other creative works, right? This doesn't come across to me as a rip-off so much as a loving tribute to Studio Ghibli animation. Its not like they're hiding Miyazaki's influence here.

Yes! 😍✨

WHich is a shame since back in the day disney was world class for hand drawn animation! I might have to check this new one out.

Japanese: Am I a Joke To You?

1 - Let's make manual animation 2- Let's make 3d animation and insert into the manual animation 3- Let's make 3d animation full movies 4- Let's make algorithms that turns 3d into fake 2d animation 5- Let's make manual animation again 6- Let's make AI build "manual" animation The "wonderful" world of humans trying to "innovate".

Is this, an indie film? I’ve never heard of Mano studios? I’m asking because I’ve noticed indie animation has been going through a renaissance since the beginning of the decade.

Really you gonna compare this to studio Ghibli movies

bro sorry but this ain't near ghibli , even i a small artist can see visible errors

Ikr!

the recreation and reimagining of certain shots and settings is really cool and the visuals of the djinn like the fire demons are such beautiful images

Love letter or plagiarism

@samalex2180 you dumb or what? How is that plagiarism?

​@@samalex2180 Say that when you really know what plagiarism means

How can you say that??

@@sambhavnath6668 That is literally ghibli style of animation

@@janG38001 but I am still confused

@@janG38001 Yes it is. At first when I saw this preview I thought it was a Ghibli animation only to see at this is a Pakistani Animated film. I hope it gets released here.

@@JohnnyT002 absolutely I also want the same thing by the way which country are you from and I am still confused because I have also watched ghibli films and there is a difference although I am accepting the fact that the animation technic is japanese

Same for me in China 🇨🇳. I'll definitely pay to watch it!

I WILL 100% go see this in theaters if it comes to the US.

It better release in the UK

I think they announced it worldwide

@@TheMadJellyfish wont likely happen

I’d suggest checking out Cartoon Saloon if you wanna see more great hand drawn animated stuff.😀

Likewise. I never seen any Pakistan Anime ever, this might be the first I ever see.

It will not release in India due to India-Pakistan conflict

I think you'll be able to see it on some sort of website

He is so brilliant ❤️

saaar

You have every right to be, my fellow brother/ sister! If only this could be shown in the USA, too!

please go to pakistan then

​@@warlord5488There is nothing wrong with appreciating a good work. Meanwhile in India, we have Motu Patlu and Chota Bheem.

Yeah the quality of animation is really good

We definitely making it a hit! Nice neighbour's

Really impressive animation. They’ve done a amazing job. This is like a modern versio of 2000’s Animated movie. Reminds me of Anastasia (Disney)

It's gorgeous! I'd never seen Pakistani animation before.

Looks like a copy of Ghibli

​@@mihiecit doesn't have enough details in style and storytelling to be a 'copy'.

It really does have the look and feel of a Ghibli style film, I'm already in love with it. 🥰😁

​@user-cj9zc2nq5u its more the stylistic choices. I wonder if they were a possible studio hired on to help make one of the movies? But the style is hard-core Howls Moving Castle.

@@frostfang1 their style cannot be called a copy as well. It have some references to Ghibli's style, but I would call it a tribute, not a copy. Especially it's different in the design of the characters. Color palette and some elements like airships are the closest things.

You guys should be proud!

But why Caucasian characters?

@@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 .

@@eglantinepapeau1582 Hayao Miyazaki characters ARE Asian. When they are Caucasians, they make it clear and distinct. But the story is ABOUT the Asian protagonist.

​@@eglantinepapeau1582funny how they ask that question and you bring up DEI first.

@@sugarzblossom8168 funny how i wrote a paragraph praising the author's visual references and you're only focusing on the DEI part 🤷‍♀i answered the question , i said those characters could be pakistani since there are pakistani ppl with red hair or green eyes .

Pakistani? then why is it about White people?

@MmuushMaann Usually nothing, but seems like Pakistani Propaganda to entice American sympathy

@@eijentwun5509 White people make productions about others, so do the japanese and everyone else. We’re all human and can be inspired by different cultures and historical settings and that variety is what makes us great

Its drawn there but the authors and original writers are definitely not from Pakistan or at least trying to depict Pakistan culture.

@@kaneidareyue7715 authors, writers, and animators are from Pakistan. Only for English dubbing they have used others artists

I mean it looks like a Japanese anime but it's actually Pakistani speaking as a Pakistani-American.

You must be blind if you think this bad rip off is a Ghibli movie.

@@shizukagozen777 No. It's probably just him impressed at the quality of this film and how much it resembles the works of Studio Ghibli.

@@nathanmalik7056 But the quality is shit, that's the problem. It looks nothing like a Ghibli, the art style is vaguely a poor imitation but that's it.

@@shizukagozen777 It's not perfect but it not necessarily terrible.

Can't be Pakistani, the people are not Muslim and the women are not covered up in burqas.

We can clearly see it's not Japanese considering how bad it looks like...

@@shizukagozen777 ey dawg its not really that bad lol

@@speedandpower8577 It is, just open your eyes. Even amateur animations are better than this.

@@speedandpower8577 KZfaq erased my comment for some reason but: No, it isn't, just open your eyes. Amateur animations are even better than this...

Haram don't watch it sir

​@@sasakii_Mohammad bot haram

@@sasakii_MohammadSAAR IT HARAM DONT WATCH SAAR

Studio might be in Pakistan but there is nothing Pakistani about it, the women are not Muslims, the cast are all Western people and the girl is not all covered up.

@@kaneidareyue7715 And you think that is what defines a movie bieng Pakistani? Have you seen movies like Ye Jawani Phir Nahin Ani. Extremely vulgar films. Do you consider them Pakistani? The Western cast is for the English Dub. The Urdu dub will be done with a Pakistani cast. In the end this is a movie made by Pakistani's in Pakistan. It is by definition a Pakistani movie.

@@kingkiller5325 Most films from their country depicts their own people. Pakistani depicting Western people in Anime from another world is kind of strange, its almost as if they are crying escapism. Even Japanese anime or Chinese anime still have hints of their culture in their storyline and characters. There is none in this Anime which I suspect must be possible self-hatred for their own culture and people, or the story was originally from a non-pakistani person but just made in Pakistan.

@@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.

@@kaneidareyue7715 If you did not see "hints of our culture" in this trailer then you are just spouting BS. I am a Pakistani and I saw the "hints". The story is by Usman Riaz, who is a Pakistani. The disputed territory reference is about the disputed territory in Kashmir which is disputed between India and Pakistan. The whole concept of "Jinn" that you saw in the trailer is an Islamic concept, which, take a guess where it's the predominant religion and a major part of the culture? Hint: The answer is Pakistan. Take your stupid assumptions and shove em cuz its people like you who are there to be offended for the sake of being offended.

That’s surprising that they (in Pakistan) would make a film with girls not needing to cover their heads? It’s too bad that this one amazing animated film won’t be enough to get rid of all of the religious extremism, intolerance, and violence within Pakistan, and the entire subcontinent.

Thank you so much. That means a lot to me - Usman

@@manoanimationstudios OMG! The Legend himself replied to me! 😱

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 😅

@@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.

@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.

Thank you very much

@@manoanimationstudios You're welcome!!! Good luck for the project.
