What are the characteristics of cartoons based on true sad stories?

They are often more relatable. Since they are based on real events, the emotions and situations depicted can resonate with the audience on a deeper level. For example, in 'Persepolis', the main character's struggle with identity in a changing society is something many people can understand.

Well, for one, they humanize the real - life tragedies. For example, in 'Grave of the Fireflies', we see the individual faces of the victims of war, not just numbers. It makes the sad story more relatable and makes us feel more deeply for the characters.

There are a few notable cartoons based on true events. For instance, 'Mulan' takes inspiration from an ancient Chinese legend. Another one is 'Brave', which has elements drawn from various historical and cultural contexts.

One example could be 'Grave of the Fireflies'. It is based on a true story about two siblings trying to survive in Japan during World War II. Their struggle with poverty, hunger, and the loss of their family is truly heart - breaking.

One example is 'Grave of the Fireflies'. It's based on a true story about two siblings struggling to survive during the end of World War II in Japan. The sad reality of war, hunger, and loss is beautifully yet heart - wrenchingly depicted in this anime.

They often deal with themes of loss. For example, in many memoirs about war, people lose their loved ones, their homes, and their sense of safety. This creates a sense of sadness throughout the book.

Some well-known cartoons based on true stories include 'The Prince of Egypt' which tells the biblical story of Moses. Also, 'Mulan' takes inspiration from a Chinese legend.
