My pleasure, I'm also very fond of this genre :)
If you are curious of french animation films, I just remembered "Le roi et l'oiseau". It was my favorite as a kid. And if you liked the city of lost children, it will feel familiar. Sort of the same melancholia.

I assume it will be hard to find, sadly. There is this version on archive.org, though, if you can understand french or spanish.

If its subtitled, I'll be okayish. I can partially read Spanish and French.
Off you go then ;)
