If you loved Spirited Away, try Mr. Dough and the Egg Princess

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Mr. Dough and the Egg Princess has roughly 570.3× fewer votes than Spirited Away — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. 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 sit in Animation / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Spirited Away, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Mr. Dough and the Egg Princess is

Humpty meets Baba Yaga in a water mill on a cliff. A sentient blob of dough and an escaped egg-girl flee the witch’s tower on a raft of kitchenware. Joe Hisaishi’s Vivaldi score carries the chase.
