Allahyar's trailer sets expectations high for Pakistan's latest animated film

Who isn't excited about Allahyar and the Legend of the Markhor? No? Well, here's a trailer to get you started.

The trailer for the animated film came out on Wednesday and we have to say, the two-minute video looks good!

Allahyar is about a boy who gets kidnapped and uses the help of his animal companions to escape. The film is said to tackle several different themes and animal poaching is definitely one of them. Also, we never thought we'd say this but Ali Noor is scaring us.

Considering the edits made for the trailer and the dialogues, 3rd World Studios seems to know what they're doing. This looks like a treat to watch!

While the animation may seem like it can improve, there's no denying that its quality is lightyears ahead when compared to animated films and adverts that have previously been made in Pakistan. We have a feeling Allahyar will set the benchmark higher.

Allahyar features Anum Zaidi, Natasha Humera Ejaz, Azfar Jafri, Ali Noor and Abdul Nabi Jamali in the lead characters. According to 3rd World, Ali Rehman Khan, Hareem Farooq, Arshad Mehmood and Nadia Jamil also make appearances.

Allahyar and the Legend of the Markhor is slated for release on February 2.
