If you loved Der Junge und das Biest, try Belle
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 Der Junge und das Biest, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Belle is
Rural town, summer, a microphone. A high school girl sings, her avatar shines, a dragon appears. Hosoda shapes adolescence online.
