Remy, Nobody's Girl (Season 1)

"Remy, Nobody's Girl" (1996) is a Japanese animated series you can watch online on iFILM. It adapts Hector Malot's 1878 French novel Sans Famille — the story of a cheerful girl who discovers she was adopted, then gets sold by her stepfather to a traveling entertainer named Vitaris.

Remy joins Vitaris's performing troupe — a monkey, three dogs, and a patient mentor — and sets out across rural France searching for her real family. The series doesn't flinch at the source material's darker turns: poverty, loss, and outright cruelty are part of the journey. For a children's anime it carries genuine emotional weight.
