If Arrietty hit the spot, these will too

Dreamlike where it counts, whimsical underneath
The difference: Sits closer to adventure than Arrietty does

Warm and cozy in the same breath
The difference: 21 years apart, and the 1980s show

Both keep coming back to the same thing: anime
The difference: Takes it somewhere less wistful than Arrietty does

Dreamlike fantasy, and it commits to that

Animation with a pulse of wistfulness, in both cases

Both lean on whimsy more than on family

Both are Hiromasa Yonebayashi's work, and they rhyme
The difference: Leans harder into drama than Arrietty does

The same preoccupation in both: forest
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Warm fantasy in both cases

Animation built on comfort, twice over

Family with a pulse of dream logic, in both cases
