Cool, Contemplative Animation + Rec’s?

C
Sometimes YouTube’s algorithm presents me with something lovely, like this “contemplative animation” by Mani (criminally underwatched and underliked):

Along these lines, I’m seeking rec’s for movies/series that are basically escapism from this world. I need a break.

Looking for stuff that doesn’t feel super engaged (directly) with our major current global/cultural conversations or set in modern times: i.e. not set in the past 100 years or so, in our world or an alternate history/ secondary/ parallel/ near future world that mostly feels like ours culturally. Shorts are cool, but I’d love to find something movie length I could just relax to. (The sweet spot would be “like” Angel’s Egg.)
