Well, Ningyo
It's about a boy who dreams a lot and saves a fish, him saving the fish makes him see it as a mermaid. He, was the hero of that mermaid. He however was not aware that the only person that could see the mermaid was him. Everyone else saw a fish. So the people thought he was dreaming and making fantasies. In this world however, making fantasies is illegal so they punish him in various ways so that he sees the mermaid as a fish. After a lot of experiments and failures the "police" finally managed to make the boy see it as a

fish. This depresses the boy and he tries to see a mermaid again, but alas, he couldn't see it so, he went back to where he first saved the fish and in the distance at the ocean he sees a mermaid calling him towards her and he goes deep into the ocean towards his dream while everyone else doesn't even try to stop him.
I know! Real cheesy shit right? But in context this simple idea just looks so beautiful in animated form. It's as if the creator made it cheesy on purpose just to show off his cinema skills. It's very good as an animation but the art is very outdated so if you want to see visual beauty this might not be for you and if you don't get such short dialog-less old movies then it's not for you either. But if you're like me who is looking for art(totally not praising myself) , then this for you and if that's the case you will definitely enjoy it.
