If you loved Princess Arete, try Mai Mai Miracle
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 Sunao Katabuchi, and they sit in Adventure / Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to Princess Arete, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Mai Mai Miracle is
My Neighbor Totoro meets The Secret Garden. Shinko imagines her town's history. Nostalgic coming-of-age tale.
