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.

Both anime - 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.
"Children Who Chase Lost Voices" bears a strong resemblance to many Studio Ghibli films, especially "Princess Mononoke"
-the majority of both take place in a mythical natural world
-both these worlds are guarded by mythical creatures
-the antagonists in both series are aiming on upsetting the natural balance of things in hope of attaining immortality/bringing back the dead
-Shin and Ashitaka are pretty similar,, both come from native cultures, have a horse/deer companion, and have a strained but protective relationship with the female protagonist
-both mythical worlds have evil spirits that have been corrupted by their hatred for humanity
-both deal with the theme of man vs nature
In conclusion Children
