STILL no news of an official release in US / Canada that I can find... but fingers crossed news comes out soon! 🙂

I've seen this on alternate streaming sites with a Euro/Asia focus. The visuals are stunning. Hopefully coming soon, if you're in a city, might wanna check indie movie theatres, on the ones that usually focus on film festivals.

Not sure if you have MUBI, but they focus on a lot of indie and alternative cinema (they stream The Substance) and do have an entry for The Glassworker, despite not streaming it. They may have access eventually.

Any ( separate ) subtitles / closed-captions available?

ElQuintron

Somewhat-Reticent The Version I watched was English.

ElQuintron Any mumbling or drowned-by-music-etc? Clear enunciation?

ElQuintron

Somewhat-Reticent None, the copy was very good. It's been a while, but I will try and find the source and send it via PM if I can find it.

HELLFIRE

I'll check around for any alt sources for this. I'm definitely impressed by the animation quality since the trailer dropped in 2024, and I'm quite interested in how the story goes 🙂

Thanks all!

ElQuintron I'd like that link too, please.

Octavean

Yeah, I’d really like to see this one once it becomes available.

ElQuintron

AlphaPhoenix I was in the office today, but I will get you a link tomorrow.

HELLFIRE

Found this via alternate means. The animation is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!

The story was fantasy enough, but I could see hints of the whole India / Pakistan Kashimir dispute. The ending definitely isn't "...and they lived happily ever after," but a pretty decent way to end things.

ElQuintron Thank you.

I'd expect good animation from Studio Ghibli mentoring.
