What they share

Both films are directed by Michael Dudok de Wit, 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 Red Turtle, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
