Ie Naki Ko

Ie Naki Ko and Takarajima are both adaptations of Western novels in which a young boy leaves home and travels the world accompanied by a charismatic father figure and animal companions. They were made by a lot of the same people - e.g. director Dezaki Osamu, character designer Sugio Akino, and art director/background artist Kobayashi Shichiro - and released one year apart. The visual similarities are extensive and obvious.
As for differences, Takarajima is a pure adventure story, whereas Ie Naki Ko puts the emphasis on Dickensian drama.

They aren't similar at all in terms of story. But both have Remi and Jim as main protagonist who goes on their journey. Both have awesome Mentors as well Vitalis & John Silver. Also Both series have same production staff and director that's how I find them similar. I recommend to watch both of them.
