Mirai (2018)

Director: Mamoru Hosoda. 98 min. Rated R. Japan. Animation.

A baby sister is added to a 4 year-old boy's life, and sibling rivalry drives him to imagine himself coming into contact with family members from the past and future - including his own grown-up sister. That plot-line not only makes this animation specifically addressed to adults who may not understand it (let alone kids), it also renders the film too exotic, and therefore, ... boring. I'm assuming if the idea was for children to watch this and be more accepting of new additions to the family, at least the final product could've been made more palatable to them.
