Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Isao Takahata, and they both carry the bittersweet, cozy, tender mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mes voisins les Yamada, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Story of Heidi is
Here's a charming tale about being dumped on a relative. Young Heidi is dropped off with her grumpy, goatherding grandfather in the Alps. She makes friends and has adventures, until her aunt reappears to ruin everything. It's an hour and a half very loosely based on a 52-episode show.
