Finally, the age of animation movies has dawned upon the Pakistani cinema. Pakistan-based Talisman Studios has released a teaser trailer for its family-friendly CG animated feature The Donkey King.
The movie follows the adventure of a donkey who aspires to do something unique and big in life. Mangu Mangu Jan Mangu is a daydreaming donkey whose adventures and feats are set to hit cinemas on October 13, 2018.
Aziz Jindani, the director of Donkey King while talking to media said, “Mangu is a dreamer,” Jindani told local Pakistani media. “He is adamant to change his life and not live with what he’s born with. That’s what makes the film special.”
The filmmakers have taken a cue from American film studios; they are stressing in publicity that The Donkey King is an all-ages family film, rather than a children’s film.
Pakistan has been ramping up its feature animation production. Earlier this year, 3rd World Studios released the CG feature Allahyar and The Legend of Markhor.
