The Glassworker

It indeed is the reward of loyal fan. Back in 2016 me and my bestie read a News article about The Glassworker, we got really excited about it cause we have always been mesmerized by ghibli studio's work and it was inspired by it.

Then fast forward in 2024 when it released we were already working successful job holders and it became the first movie we saw with our own money.

Never regretted a single moment about it it was all worth the wait.

THE CHARACTERS I THINK ARE INSPIRED BY GHIBLI STUDIO'S WORK THE MOST: JINN= Calcifer from the howl's moving castle Alieez= Arrietty from Arrietty Vincent= Seiji from whisper of the heart Rest of them 😁 I'll tell when I watch it next time.

"The Glassworker," directed by Usman Riaz and produced by Mano Animation Studios, is an enchanting hand-drawn animated film that captivates the heart and soul. Set in a land reminiscent of Pakistan, this film tells a profound story of love, artistry, and the relentless shadows of war.

The voice performances are exceptional. The emotional resonance they deliver adds layers to the already rich narrative.

"The Glassworker" is not just a film; it is an experience that lingers long after the credits roll. It challenges the viewer to reflect on the importance of love, art, and individual thought in times of turmoil. Usman Riaz has crafted a timeless piece that stands as a tribute to the power of animation and storytelling.

Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates a beautifully crafted narrative and stunning animation. "The Glassworker" is a rare gem in today's cinematic landscape.

Hey I saw the Movie. Tbh it's good for beginners and kids. There is a Special word I can use. "NA ISKA SAR THA NA PAIR"

I know this is the starting for the Pakistan Animation.

Good Review: It's good storyline neat the characters designs are detailed. Storyline was average.

Improvement Review: Thing I learn from Anmies Movie

Musics is missing Voilen can be in melodies add more. War, Fires, Emotions.

Imagine its bombing and next day everyone is happy i mean dude... cmmon

Imagine you are making a movie where is the mixture of War & Love Damn It can be classic but you miss both parts.

If you feel like what complete anmie mean There is An Anmie Name "91 Days, Monster Farming in Another World"

For Voilence "High School God Avg, Hell Paradise Strong Character with Voilence Elements"

For Romance: "Watch Any High School"

Now Lets Come Back

Main Character was weak I know its totally looking like you. But does he have to be weak?

His Mother Memories are missing. Father Role is Totally cracking.

Romance was lit

Now If I recollect what was it. Think Again at the end they both Meet Now Go Above If they have to be meet Why Malik was much greased into this. The character was unimportant.

You can have me on a call there is much that i can't write. Search Mozzam on Insta

USMAN I KNOW YOU HAVE THE FUTURE THAT'S WHY IMPROVEMENTS IS IMPORTANT AS WELL.

I feel you are self centered that has expectations less from others and more from yourself. I don't appreciate it i I have been through this.

BTW If you rewatch this you are really good in the War Senario Specially the Bombing on the City, on Mountains and on Night View.

I would suggest move yourself to the War Anmies. If you feel content is more go for Anmie Side We would love to watch that but we expect some quality things.

The Movie is supported by pakistani community Best of Luck.

BEFORE u get angry, read my review till last and think about it.

The glass worker is a nice movie, not gonna lie and i have been following it up for last 4-5 years. But i knew from the start, as this is Usman Riaz first movie the story will have problems and oh oh boy it had alot. The ending was confusing to say the least, as many of the plot of the movie was missing and the movie rapped it up pretty quickly. It also didnt felt "original as Usman Riaz was inspired by Ghibli, which actually made the film feel like "too much" inspired by Ghibli. I know its his first movie but if he had been original with it , it would have been better and also made it more natural and calming rather then rapping it up quickly. IF you actually wanna see what a "MASTER PIECE" looks like, (as people here are screaming that this movie is, although it isnt) Go watch HAYOA MIYAZAKI first film "Nausicaä The Valley of Wind". Or "the castle in the sky", then you will truly understand the art of animation and the beauty of a true master piece story.

The reviews here are totally wrong saying it is the "best movie ever", I have seen alot, i mean ALOT of animated movies and especially Japanese, as i like there 2D natural artwork. I am pretty choosy about my animated movies and this one was a easy 7/10. The main reason being that is, although the animation was beautiful and nice, but the story lacked alot and kinda felt amateurly written + not to forget the Urdu dubbing of the movie, which didnt had any natural feelings. I will highly recommend watching the movie in ENGLISH rather then URDU, because the original script of the movie is in English, due to this the Urdu one felt like a google translation lmao.

The animation was hands-off amazing. The visuals were stunning and appealing, evident of the amount of effort and hark work put into each frame of the movie. The animators did a great job capturing the essence of Ghibli films. The music really brought the viewing experience to the next level, literally got goosebumps hearing some of them.

However... the voice acting could have been somewhat better. The delivery of the dialogues felt a bit off because of the British accent, considering the characters were set in Pakistan. Some scenes felt as if a certain frame was missing, messing with the consistency while some had very fluid animation. As for the storyline, it seemed rather messy and confusing. The theme and storyline could have been portrayed a bit better which would've enhanced the experience greatly.

Overall really enjoyed the movie, would recommend watching it, and really respect Usman Riaz's artistic view and effort on this movie. Creating a hand-drawn animated film in Pakistan is not a small feat and he did an amazing job for such a big project. Looking forward to more of his works!
