AniWorthPerrine Monogatari
Introduction
Perrine is a young girl who lives in Bosnia with her Indian mother and beloved father – that is, until her father passes away, leaving her mother with a single wish: travel to France to be with his father. The over 1,000 kilometer journey seems unfathomable, but Perrine and her mother have a plan: they will photograph people in the towns along the way to support themselves.
With their hardy donkey Palikare and faithful dog Baron, the two set forth for Paris; along the way they encounter kind souls, barren villages, and a number of hardships; will Perrine and her mother survive the long journey to France?

The vibrant lush of the gorgeous European countryside spreads across the canvas—dense forests, sparkling streams, and a colossal mountain looming on the horizon, its peak suffusing into the cerulean blue sky. Blistering rays of sunlight pierces through the feathery clouds, illuminating the sepia-colored solitary path where a ramshackle carriage is drawn by a decrepit donkey. Inside sits a mother, dressed in traditional Indian garments, beside her daughter who is cradling a dachshund sleeping lazily on her lap. Together they embark on a thousand-kilometer journey to France — one that would alter the trajectory of their lives forever.
On paper, Perrine Monogatari’s initial premise doesn’t seem to promise anything grand or ambitious. There is no huge mystery that needs to be solved, no world…

I've watched a lot of the series in the World Masterpiece Theater.
And this is by far my favorite.
It starts out slow at first, however, once she arrives at her Grandfather's location, it becomes much more eventful and exciting. This became one of the most satisfying anime I've ever watched. It has a good balance of sad moments and moments that make you want to high five your invisible buddy.
The voice acting was pinpoint in my opinion.
The key thing to this anime is those eventful moments that make you feel good inside or when things are revealed, the anime really knows how to capture that moment. Some really memorable scenes that made me rewatch them many times over.

I love Japan's kids shows. Why? Because they have BALLS. What do I mean? To put it simply, the majority of their children's shows aren't just silly entertainment for kids or gigantic marketing commercials to sell toys. Just like with the majority of their adult and teenager aimed anime, their children's shows are refined and mature. They explore and discuss issues that most American children's shows don't even acknowledge! Not all of them are overly happy pieces of fluff meant to tell kids that all their dreams will come true. When things get serious in their kids shows, BY GOD DO THEY GET SERIOUS! Japan's kids shows take their audience seriously, don't treat them like morons, have much more refined and lavish animation than other kids shows from other countries, they're not afraid to show…
