If you loved Princess Mononoke, try Porco Rosso
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 Hayao Miyazaki, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Adventure / Animation / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Princess Mononoke, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Porco Rosso is
The Adriatic Sea, 1930s, seaplanes flying low. A pig in a cockpit, a teenage girl with a wrench, sky pirates in biplanes. Hayao Miyazaki grounds fantasy in historical detail.
