Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Isao Takahata, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Animation / Comedy / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mis vecinos los Yamada, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Jarinko Chie is
Here's a film about a kid who's way more competent than her parents. Chie runs her ne'er-do-well father's tavern in Osaka while also visiting her long-departed mother. Her secret plan is to get her parents back together, ideally once her dad finds actual work. It's a kid's cartoon about the gig economy.
