Steven Universe
A household of guardians, and a child who treats enemies as people. Later, the war arrives. Sit with them for the town. Do not leave them alone for the war.
The early town episodes are a boy learning to be decent in a specific place, with guardians who are bad at ordinary life and good at standing in a door. That is sound. The later seasons open the empire his mother shattered, and the grief is real.
A child can have the songs and the town with you nearby. When the story becomes a war about what his mother did, watch it too, or wait.
