11) Grave Of The Fireflies ( 1988)

Grave of the Fireflies is an animated World War II movie directed by Isao Takahata. The film tells the heartbreaking story of two siblings, Seita and Setsuko, struggling to survive in Japan during World War II. While it's more grounded in reality and doesn't have the same magical elements, it deeply explores themes of loss, resilience, and the bond between siblings. Because of its compelling and heartfelt storytelling, it resembles the film Spirited Away.
