With the Pakistani movie industry going through a revival, it only makes sense that there's something in store for animation buffs too! The trailer for the country's first full length animated movie, 3 Bahadur was released on Friday.

Based in a fictional town in Pakistan, Roshan Basti (Town of Light), the young Amna, Saadi and Kamil set out to save their community from the many evils that plague it. The film is a journey of fighting back, taking charge, and finding support and love in the most improbable of places.

The feature film is slated for May 22 release this year.
