If you loved The Boy and the Beast, try Belle
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 both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Boy and the Beast, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Belle is
Rural town, summer, a microphone. A high school girl sings, her avatar shines, a dragon appears. Hosoda shapes adolescence online.
