I saw The Glassworker (English version) in the cinema today, and it was by far one of the best hand-animated films ever made. I was absolutely mesmerized by the animation style and the beautifully crafted scenery.
The story felt real and relatable, yet so imaginative and fantastical. I write many fiction/fantasy stories, so it inspired me too.
It also made me realize that if plain grains of sand by the beach can be used to craft something truly magnificent and stunning like glass sculptures, then any usual or simple thing can serve as an ingredient to something grand and monumental.
This is a masterpiece! I recommend this to everyone.
Thank you, Mano Animation Studios, for creating this amazing work of art!
