Planetarial
Another beautiful gorgeous movie from Hosoda that seals his spot as one of the best anime directors out there. This one chronicles the journey of a single mother's hardships to raise her family, and is something you don't see often in anime. Even though with the odd choice of having humans who can turn into wolves, everybody feels down to earth and easy to relate to. The story is also great, moves at a comfortable pace, and it will probably move you to tears at least once.
Razzled
This movie was really just great. It did an awesome job at portraying the love and struggles of a mother and even though it had a bitter sweet ending, it didn't feel like a cop out or unsatisfactory in any way. I think this movie did an exemplary job at depicting realistic characters and emotions out of a fantastical setting.
