If you loved Belle, try Der Junge und das Biest
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Mamoru Hosoda, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Belle, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Der Junge und das Biest is
Shibuya streets at dusk, neon lights reflected in a boy's eyes. A young runaway and a lonesome beast from a hidden world collide, sparking a series of unlikely lessons. Hosoda's coming-of-age tale balances fantasy and everyday life.
