Where Is Anne Frank

2021

The film follows the journey of Kitty, the imaginary friend to whom Anne Frank dedicated her diary. A fiery teenager, Kitty wakes up in the near future in Anne Frank's house in Amsterdam and embarks on a journey to find Anne, who she believes is still alive, in today's Europe. While the young girl is shocked by the modern world, she also comes across Anne's legacy.

Ages 12+Source checked

Why this age? The film deals directly with Anne Frank’s death, Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, Holocaust grief, refugee deportation, police pursuit, and emotionally intense loss. The animation may soften presentation, but the themes require maturity. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
