The under world for "Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo" is very similar to the world of "Princess Mononoke". The detailed payed to the art work is spectacular and the story line is a darker children's tale.
Similar atmosphere,similar character design,dealing with people who doesn't respect the rights of nature, protecting the acient world,however PM is more dramatic & cruel than HwOK
Both animes - a fantasy, with atmosphere of romanticism and adventures where people co-operate with gods. Well and of course plotting in this work of Makoto Shinkai is too similar to an anime of Hayao Miyazaki.
Both movies have incredibly similar atmospheres and basic plot lines about humans trying to be/control gods and not fully understanding what they're getting themselves into. Princess Mononoke delves much more heavily into a humanity vs nature theme, while Children Who Chase Lost Voices focuses more on how people cope with death. Both are gorgeous beyond belief and if you like one you will undoubtedly enjoy the other.

In both movies the protagonists undertake a journey to a faraway land similar to the underworld, in order to bring back a dead person whom they love very much.
In both anime children travel to an unknown world, where it's said you can make any wish imaginable come true. Both also try to bring a message across to the viewers.
Both are about loss and finding away to accept that loss. In both the main characters end up in a different fantastical world with different creatures. They make new friends and face challenges as they journey and find what their true feelings and desires are.
The plot is very similar. They're both about people who want to bring the dead back, but they have to go through many challenges to be able to get there. In both of the movies they meet other people and go through the challenges together. It's a great movie if you have time on your hands.

Yes, I'd recommend Chihiro if you enjoyed this.
Both are the "family entertainment" kind of movie. Just like every Ghibli movie the protagonist is a little girl that somehow meets spirits and supernatural beings.
Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo's storyline, compared with other Shinkai works, is way easier to follow.
Both anime films have a female character who ends up in some strange land with monsters/spirits. The young male and female characters do have feelings for each other that develop, as well.
A girl is lost in a world different from her own. A world full of mystery and danger. One wanted to save her parents while the other wanted to see her first love. Both had a companion to aid them on their journey.

Both movies try to reproduce the Ghibli feeling. Character design-wise, Fantasy setting and more.
If you enjoy one you'll certainly enjoy the other.
They share some common themes (cliches) ~ a dying world, a civilization in tune with nature, humans as evil creatures or bringers of destruction, children ending up in an "adventure" etc. They're both overshadowed by the Ghibli movies they're trying to pay "homage" to, and the "redeeming" quality of both is excellent animation.

The hugely talented Makoto Shinkai directed both of these movies and the art, animation and sound are very similar. They both have quite a large element of fantasy, though The Place Promised in our Early Days leans more towards sci-fi than outright fantasy, unlike Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo. Both are absolutely brilliant.
Both by the same author as well as similar art. It's also noticeable that both movies have the theme of romance and sci-fiction. Drama and comedy are also present as Mikoto Shinakai does what he does best:
Delivering an anime film for special distinction and supreme artwork

Makoto Shinkai has obviously been inspired by Hayao Miyazaki's Laputa: Castle In the sky !! Which Shinkai also has stated is a huuge fan of !!
Both involves the protagonists searching for some other magical place in the world, both have these magical stone necklaces, and not to mention both the protagonists meet a mysterious person that sets them off on their adventure !!
Castle in the Sky is Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo's most obvious influence, with many similar plot elements. Some of the characters play similar roles as well - particularly with Morisaki using a young girl and her crystal to achieve a long-held dream that involves an ancient, dying civilization. However, as far as the characters' relationships to one another, I'd say that Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo actually produces a more nuanced, thought-provoking result. If you've seen and liked either Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo or Castle in the Sky, but haven't watched the other, than that other is a must-see.

Traveling to other worlds to change your life. In Howl's Moving Castle they're looking for a way to break the spell of Sophie (a witch turned her into an old woman) and in Howshi wo Ou Kodomo they're looking for a way to bring back the dead.
Although Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo is a Makoto Shinkai movie, I think it will appeal to Miyazaki fans. Both are adventure movies with a dash of romance (a little more in Howl than Hosho wo Ou Kodomo) and are beautifully animated. Overall, they're both touching and sweet and the endings make you want to cry.

Made by the same talented director Makoto Shinkai. Both have a touch of romance in it. Both are fantasy themed movie although Voices of a distant star is more on sci-fi.

By the same author. Both movies have beautiful artwork and a great soundtrack. Additionally, there is drama, comedy, and of course romance. Both of these anime(s) are rare gems that should be in any anime fan's collection.

There is a world under the Earth. Both Anime share a similar style and dark under current, not to mention there is romance between two characters each from a different world.

This anime are quite similar for the general feeling: exploration of strange worlds, strange creatures. However Miyazaki's settings are always the most complete and his protagonists the most characterized.

Both have spiritual elements dealing with death and loss of loved ones. The main characters go on an adventure they'll never forget as they go on a journey of self-discovery and learn how to cope with their losses.

HwOK's ending feels very FMA, sacraficing something to gain something
