Hand-drawn animation is back, but this time it isn't coming from Japan. We're breaking down the Ghibli-inspired masterpiece that's putting Pakistan on the global map.

The "Meat" (SEO Summary): In this segment of Nani Talks, the mandem take a serious look at The Glassworker (Sheeshgar), the historic debut from Mano Animation Studios. Directed by Usman Riaz, this is Pakistan's first-ever hand-drawn 2D animated feature film, and the visuals are absolutely stunning.

We discuss the intense 10-year journey to get this made, the anti-war themes that hit close to home, and the undeniable Studio Ghibli influence in the art style. We keep it real about the pacing and voice acting critiques, but ultimately ask the big question: Is this the start of a new era for global animation? From the Oscar submission to the incredible backstory of the young team behind it, this is a Spotlight you don't want to miss.
