If you loved When Marnie Was There, try The Secret World of Arrietty
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 Hiromasa Yonebayashi, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to When Marnie Was There, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Secret World of Arrietty is
Under the floorboards, a teacup, summer silence. A family of tiny borrowers, a boy's curious eyes, a hidden world of borrowed things. Yonebayashi adapts Miyazaki's gentle script with precision.
