Alps no Shoujo Heidi

Classic, sweet, old-school anime of the slice of life genre.
Very similar animation, character design, and style.
Both have an European setting, and in both the protagonist is a little girl, orphaned, but very talkative and cheerful, who lives with and older person (either a relative or just a tutor) and who loves nature.
These series have overall the same characteristics and feeling.
Also: in both the director is Isao Takahata; the storyboard of both was made by Yoshiyuki Tomino; Hayao Miyazaki worked in both anime.

As in Ie Naki Ko Heidi is also an orphan child looking for a family that accepts her having the same hardships of living sometimes on her own and having to endure the life with strange people that don't understands her.
And is also based on a very good novel like many of anime made in those ages.
