If you loved Future Boy Conan, try The Day I Bought a Star
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What The Day I Bought a Star is
E.T. meets The Secret Garden. A young boy escapes city life to the countryside. It delivers whimsy through gentle fantasy.
