If Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children hit the spot, these will too

Tim Burton working the same nerve twice
The difference: Less wistful, more its own thing

Dreamlike where it counts, wistful underneath
The difference: Lighter on scale

Adventure built on dream logic, twice over
The difference: Critics rated this one higher still

The same preoccupation in both: nostalgic
The difference: Played as drama first

Both lean on scale more than on fantasy

A wistful, nostalgic pull toward a hidden legacy from the past
The difference: A small-town ghost-hunting legacy story, not a peculiar orphanage

An ordinary young man pulled into an ancient, magical conflict
The difference: A giant-slaying fairy-tale action epic, no orphans or time loops

A nostalgic, myth-tinged world where old legends feel newly urgent
The difference: A medieval outlaw revolt, no orphans or supernatural powers

Epic adventure, and it commits to that

Fantasy with a pulse of scale, in both cases

Dreamlike adventure in both cases
