Our take on Josee, the Tiger and the Fish

This tender 2020 anime film follows an aspiring diver who takes a job caring for Josee, a sharp, sheltered artist who uses a wheelchair, as the two push each other toward bigger dreams. Gentle, beautifully animated and quietly uplifting about independence and love, it's a small gem. If its sweetness and emotional honesty moved you, seek out heartfelt anime films about disability, dreams and the people who help us grow.
