Madang-eul Naon Amtalg

Both movies have a child raised by a different mother. They deal with themes of growing up and discovering one's self, becoming independent, and the difficulty of acceptance. They are similar in terms of plot, except in Omae Umasou da na the MC leaves his mother early on, and also finds a child of his own to raise. Both are generally light-hearted and humorous, but contain dark undertones. Omae Umasou da na contains more + better action, humor and cuteness (Umasou is like the cutest thing you will ever meet), while Leafie A Hen in the Wild is more focused on drama. Different from their premises. read more 

Both are extremely cute, emotional and sad at certain points of the movie. There seems to be hidden meanings behind the seemingly simple movies. Both are very nice to watch to cheer you up or get your mind off things. Amtalg is a hidden gem whereas Ookami Kodomo is well known.  

Movies that focus on the interspecies relationships, and independent, caring animals that are under tension from social judgment. However, the relationship between Leafie and Greenie is familial whereas the relationship between Mei and Gabu is friendly with a romantic subtext. Additionally, the predator-prey relations are seriously examined beyond the typical ‘predator = evil’ trope. Both movies finish with their own versions of bittersweet endings. 

These anime are deceptive with their sweet animation styles and their cute-looking characters, as they feature bittersweet, emotional messages, and moments of cruel violence. Their predatory antagonists are quite similar in how they are treated in the story. They cause trouble and kill some crucial characters, but are treated more sympathetically as the protagonists, for better or for worse, come to understand their natural perspective and place in the cycle of life. Additionally, these anime feature an animal character that care for/mentor a younger member of a different species. The endings are tearjerking in how they establish the final part of the protagonist’s characterization (with Leafie’s motherly spirit and Chirin’s vengeful despair). read more 

They are both about motherhood and are heartbreaking  

Both are very cute anime movies, great for children but also enjoyable for adults. They are heartwarming, with great art. Major difference is that Leafie IS SO EMOTIONAL. If you want a good type of cry, watch Leafie.  

Animals get away from a human captivity/domestication into wild, on an adventure. Both have similar artstyles, as they were made by the same studio. 

Non-Japanese movies about chicken on a run as they try to change the situation of their lives in some way, though Farm House 81 is considerably less serious. 

Totoro has really interesting creatures whereas Leafie has ordinary lake/farm animals. Similarities exist where both movies are heartwarming, can be tear jerking, comedic in some scenes, feature great art, and mostly, great amusing characters. Madang-Eul Naon Amtalg is definitely the lesser-known one of the two, but in my opinion it is a hidden gem. In certain aspects, Leafie (Madang-Eul Naon Amtalg) left me feeling emotional, showing the unconditional love of a mother.
