If you loved The Orphan Brother, try Däumelinchen
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 Yugo Serikawa, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Animation / Family / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Orphan Brother, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
bittersweet
What Däumelinchen is
Here's a film that perhaps took itself a little too seriously. A thumb-sized girl is born, kidnapped by amphibians, and then escapes to find a more suitable partner. It's a journey that somehow manages to avoid any actual frogs turning into princes.
