MIX UP REVIEWS:
Stewart - ★★★★★
"A beautiful animated film following the strangely interlinked lives of two teenagers. The characters are fully rounded, likeable and the audience fully invests in their story. The story is part body swap comedy and part intense end of the world drama. The visuals are absolutely stunning, what a gorgeous film to be swept away into including those beautiful shots of the sky. See this one now if you haven't already - and if you have, watch it again."

Released the same year, A Silent Vocie: The Movie is equally as beautiful and well written, though a lot sadder. There's lots of introspective searching in the more mainstream animated movies Soul and The Prince of Egypt. Meanwhile a lot of the team behind this movie also worked on Weathering With You, The Secret World of Arrietty and Wolf Children. Then check out some more excellent anime with The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, The Boy and the Beast and the series' Death Note and Naruto: Shippuden.
