The Grave of the Fireflies DVD (Japanese film by Isao Takahata, 1988, available in library) has some amazing animation. Character animator Yoshifumi Kondo. Adapted from a Japanese best-seller story about survival after 2nd ww bombing of Japan. It features 2 children, Seita (14 years) & his sister, Setsuko (4 years old).
The DVD has a wonderful storyboard where the pencil sketches have been animated, and the way the girl moves (like a firefly) with just a few lines is very touching.
