If you loved Mirai, try The Boy and the Beast
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 they share
Both films are directed by Mamoru Hosoda, and they sit in Adventure / Animation / Drama / Family / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mirai, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Boy and the Beast is
Shibuya streets at dusk, neon lights reflected in a boy's eyes. A young runaway and a lonesome beast from a hidden world collide, sparking a series of unlikely lessons. Hosoda's coming-of-age tale balances fantasy and everyday life.
