If you loved Der Zauberer und die Banditen, try The Orphan Brother
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 Taiji Yabushita, and they sit in Adventure / Animation / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to Der Zauberer und die Banditen, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Orphan Brother is
Here's one for the children. Two siblings are separated and enslaved after their father runs afoul of local authorities. Years later, the surviving brother rises to prominence and seeks justice for the family. It's more fun than it sounds, I promise.
