If you want animated cottagecore, Once upon a aforest was my childhood intro to this aesthetic💕💕🥺The story is told woth cute talking animals.and igs so warm and emotional.

[@theemilyanomaly]

Omg I LOVE that movie! 😭 I’ve never heard someone bring it up referenced cottagecore but it was my favorite movie growing up so I wonder if that’s why I love this aesthetic too!

@@theemilyanomaly Yeah now that I remember,most movies with that theme are the oldies that were in cassettes that my family got from blockbuster. Fernully was my favorite to watch in the mornings, so peaceful and gull of nature. Good to know someone elde remembers those movies.

[@oliviaferguson6269]

My all time favourite tv show is Pushing Daisies and I would say it definitely has some good cottagecore elements to it, as well as some magic and quirky vibes! But the colour palate is bright and pastels. The main character is a pie maker with the magic ability to bring people back from the dead for 60 seconds, then touches them again and they stay dead forever. He partners with a PI to bring murder victims back from the dead to find out who killed them and then they seek justice (and collect the financial reward). Everything is going according to plan until one of the murder victims is his childhood crush and he has to decide if he’s going to keep her alive for longer than 60 seconds (never being able to touch her again or she’ll die permanently) and risking the life of a nearby person who would die in her place. His childhood crush is everything cottagecore, her dresses and aesthetic, her personality! She loves reading and gardening, she’s a beekeeper, she has a lot of hobbies and is a super kind soul!! If you haven’t seen it, I highly, highly recommend it!! There are only 2 short seasons, with about 13 episodes in each one!

[@paulac.munoztorres]

I love Lee pace acting in that series, he’s so darling🥰🥰

[@lidia6314]

I don’t know if these strictly fit in with the cottagecore aesthetic but here are a few more recommendations that remind me of cottagecore: -the first boxcar children book -little women (book and movies) -pollyanna movie with hayley mills -little house on prairie series -fairies by brian froud -samantha’s cookbook from the american girl doll company -the borrowers -madeline books -entangled life (book about fungi) -most of emily winfield martin’s artwork and books

[@greenecrayon]

The Secret Life of Arriety is actually based on the borrowers

[@Caroline28483]

[@Bananacustardcostuming]

Can I nominate Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books, especially his ones about witches? Equal Rites, the Witch series and the Tiffany Aching series are all PURE cottagecore. Equal Rites reminds me of growing up in the Scottish highlands and is my go to comfort book.

[@stephaniesews6603]

Shepherd's Crown and I shall wear midnight are what comes to my mind instantly!

[@katesutton9290]

[@cheriealver7924]

Perhaps the ultimate endearing talented American artist, author, gardener, mother extraordinaire Tasha Tudor. She truly lived an amazing life. There are some great documentaries out of her life and great KZbins. Her sketches and photographs of her and her children living their simple life says it all.

[@gypsiemomm]

Yes, that is exactly who I was going to add!!! Check out all of her children's books she wrote & illustrated! There are books about her life as well!

[@clairebeane3455]

Also...not sure if it counts but the movie Leap Year with Amy Adams is mostly set in the Irish countryside and always makes me feel cozy

[@Yurika_Sama]

[@Alpinewild444]

[@janaenoelle3149]

you'd love cranford, its a bbc show set in the english countryside in the early 1840s in the village of cranford in cheshire, the story is about the town's single and widowed middleclass female inhabitants who are comfortable with their traditional way of life and place great store in propriety and maintaining an appearance of gentility. it's really lovely and so cottagecore

I always found Maleficent to be cottagecore. Its so beautiful and both Aurora and Maleficent are so fitting. I think the first movie actually shows how pain can affect a woman but she can come back to herself with proper healing. Healing the soul seems more cottagecore than anything else to me. I went for a long process of it and refound all those bits of myself. It takes great bravery to trust again.

I grew up with brambly hedge and I love it so much! My Mum would read it to us at bedtime, and every Christmas we'd watch the 1996 TV series. I remember being so scared of the weasel! My mum even knitted us little figures of each character and we used to act out the stories. To this day if the wind makes a whistling noise at a family gathering one of us will shout "it's the weasel!"

Some more cottagecore books recommended by this librarian that are excellent for pondering and might make you teary: Summer and Bird by Katherine Catmull Princess, Princess Ever After by Katie O'Neill (graphic novel) The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey Castle Waiting by Linda Medley (graphic novel) Patricia Polacco's picture books short stories of Eudora Welty Sarah Orne Jewett's short story A White Heron Barbara Cooney's picture books The Winnie-the-Pooh Cookbook by Virginia Ellison Also one tv show: Ronja the Robber's Daughter

Hiii Victoria

[@morgankaye6479]

The Snow Child is so underrated and absolutely stunning! One of my favourite books for sure

[@ladybrunac]

I recommend Ancient Magus Bride. It has beautiful landscapes, and very beautiful story. Starts sad, but it's a journey about healing. She gave herself to be a slave, because she didn't want to live anymore, then this magician buys her and save her, he starts to show how life can be amazing.

[@anthipaganou3727]

[@naomijones3521]

North and South (book and the movie) by Elizabeth Gaskell

[@georginagarforth8367]

The book The Railway Children by E. Nesbit and the 2 adaptations fit Cottagecore so well. I think you’ll love it if you haven’t read it already!

@@sarahpauline4904 Yes, the TV series of Emily of New Moon is excellent! I've never met another person IRL who knew of it.

For cottage core books I would also recommend Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott. it's all about this girl who decides to forego traditional school and make herself her own education by experiencing life and learning things from nature. also, the pixie hollow books are super cute middle grade cottagecore / fairycore reads that I loved as a kid!!

[@jesssmith6569]

NANNY MCPHEE, & i cannot stress this enough, is undoubtedly the most underrated spring/summer cottagecore film set in the Victorian era of England. ITS SO MAGICAL & the color themes make every single frame an absolute cinematic masterpiece.

[@suparsan]

The Animals of Farthing Wood (or 'Les Animaux du Bois de Quat'sous' for those who watched it in French like me) is an animated series from the 90s that definitely fits the cottagecore aesthetic. Also, the Moomins!

[@katieburgess6839]

Some more books that you might like a lot are the Betsy Tacy books (I think there are 10 or 12 in the series.) Also the British author D.E. Stevenson wrote dozens of books, mainly set in the country or small villages in England. She wrote a lot in the period between the wars. The Miss Read books are similar, I think, though I'm not as familiar with them.

For movies, I have to recommend Tinker Bell movies (especially Tinker Bell; Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure; and Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue, but there are more). They should be available on Disney Plus. And for books, I have to recommend Gail Carson Levine's A Fairy Dust trilogy (Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg; Fairy Haven and the Quest for the Wand; and Fairies and the Quest for Never Land). They are out of print, but I think audiobooks should be available on Audible. 🌻🌻🌻

Omg finally someone who loves lark rise to candleford as well! It's my absolute favourite show, I think it's so underrated❤

[@EveryFurtherMile]

Yes! 2005 Pride and Prejudice is spooo beautiful! I love it. Watched it a million times! Also really loved A Beautiful Fantastic. I need to watch Emma yet...I keep forgetting about it. Now I gotta do it! Love your videos :)

[@Stephanie-nd7mf]

I had NO idea Cottagecore was a thing before this video!! Village School by Miss Read is another great book to add to the list. Also set in the English countryside, it’s the definition of slow-paced yet interesting rural life with plenty of beautiful natural descriptions that make you feel like you’re a part of the characters’ lazy afternoon daydreaming through the schoolhouse window. Thank you for this awesome video! I feel like I’ve found another kindred spirit 😉

[@merrygray2791]

The Secret World of Arrietty sounds like it's inspired by The Borrowers! Such a cute book; you'd love it!

[@TheQuietCottage]

I *love* spindle's end! Every time I see a Robin McKinley title that someone else knows about, my soul gets a little more life!

[@MissNatashaMarie]

I loved Mandy! I’ve reread that sweet tale so many times. “The Little White Horse” is a book that comes to mind, I remember it being enchanting and cozy. It was one I read over and over as a teen.💛 Now I need to reread them both☺️

[@addisondavis6447]

So many books and movies to add to my list!! I would include Enola Holmes as a cottagecore movie, its so aesthetic!

[@LoveForACountryHouse]

A beautiful TV series: 'The Durrells' about a British family that moves to the island of Corfu where they take up residence in a rustic two story cottage. And for beautiful gingerbread houses, "Practical Magic' (I never get tired of that fantastic movie, interiors and exteriors, even the small town and the clothes!) By the way, I live cottage core too and have a channel showing how to make furnishings look more in the cottage style, gingerbread, rust, etc.

[@themistakewasborn7111]

One of my favourite cottagecore pieces of entertainment is the short film ‘Daydreamer’s Pursuit’! I came across it on KZbin and it definitely worth a watch!

[@bunny_0288]

Great recommendations! I must add Poldark to the list of TV shows. (I haven't read the book, so I can't speak to that). The show has so many beautiful scenes of the countryside. There's bread baking, having tea, harvesting wheat, picking flowers, etc. It's beautiful, romantic, and overall a lovely show.

[@alisonmidd]

Especially the harvesting of wheat!

[@LoveForACountryHouse]

@@alisonmidd The audio books are free too!

[@thevintageplaylist7191]

I love the fact that there are many more people LOVING nature, for a few years I was frolicking alone about the season transition and reading books with those vibes etc... But know we have a WHOLE FANDOM...

[@amyhanrisher3384]

I love that we are finding our tribe 😍

[@spinstercatlady]

I'm 40 and have been into cottagecore since before it had a name lol, so I'm beyond thrilled to see what I love being made into an entire genre/aesthetic and how many others love it as much as I do 💜

[@k1tkat-kate]

Desi, if you haven't read The Blue Castle by LM Montgomery, you must!!! It's my favourite of her books. The main character L I T E R A L L Y goes to live in a cabin in the woods to get away from people! As a Canadian, LM Montgomery was my entire childhood! XD I haven't been able to visit Prince Edward Island yet, but I want to! And I remember watching the Brambley Hedge miniseries as a kid, and thinking they were just so sweet!

[@DarlingDesi]

The Blue Castle is amazing!! One of my favorite L.M. Montgomery books. I love it so much 😩

[@msviv3122]

A very autumn like cottage core series would be the animated Over the Garden Wall! It is so cute and perfect for the fall months!

[@crowquillgal1016]

It is design goals.... I adore that series!!!!

[@MeeganMakes]

Just watched “The Beautiful Fantastic“ tonight. It was SO good! I had not ever heard of it and was very impressed. Highly recommend.

[@shells4kids987]

Yay! Just in time!!! I'm falling back in love with this because of you! I really loved this asthestic since the 90s (even though it wasn't called that). Very thankful to you for reminding me of myself that I left for too long due to the hustle and bustle of life. Thanks for the amazing uplifting content and all the hard work!!

[@amyhanrisher3384]

Yes! Good luck on your journey.

PEI looks exactly the way L.M. describes it. So blessed to live here!

[@nataliedevine3410]

I know they're for children, but I just love all the little Beatrix Potter books; especially Mrs. Tiggy Winkle. Hedgehogs are my favourite animal.

[@watsonmelon6575]

Now I'm all set for spring! Your videos never fail to help me to destress and feel like the world is beautiful again. Thank you. ❤🌹

[@fhypnos912]

Our princess is back with another video!!!

[@julieelizabeth4856]

I would add the movie "Ever After" from 1998, a Cinderella-type story. One of my favorites; I've watched it many times.

[@catalinamontoya1223]

I would also recommend the secret garden! It feels so magical to me

[@jacquelinezhang605]

for book recs: flower fables by louisa may alcott is about a bunch of fairies sharing their adventures of the day!!! very fairycore and cottagecore :))

[@madisonstar3463]

I adore your Channel !!! Your video’s always bring so much joy to my day ❤️

[@tempest2000]

I LOVE "I Capture the Castle." Very underappreciated classic.

[@gerigowers8318]

I couldn't believe there wasn't going to be another season of Anne with an E! My Granddaughter and I totally loved the whole thing.

[@vieb9742]

Thank you for all those recommendations! Some I had not heard of before. If you aren't familiar with Susan Branch you may want to check her books out.😊 she has many cookbooks that are seasonal and handwritten on every page with her artwork included and favorite quotes throughout. She also has three books about her life that are so charming as well. Everything about her is cottagecore!

[@naomijones3521]

Agree!!

[@priscillaguimaraes4981]

This was the most delightful video ever! So inspirational! I would add "When calls the heart" in the tv show list, it's such a adorable story about simple life in Northwest Canada :)

[@BiornBear]

I’m just now hearing of this cottage core. I just call it living lol. I’ve lived this way my whole life haha. Where I’m from in North Georgia we all do.
