Seeking recommendations for anime suitable for watching with parents/elders

Machine-translated from Traditional Chinese
Since my mom retired, she's always bored at home, so I want to recommend a few anime for her to watch. However, she has a bias against "cartoons," so I need to pick the right ones:

They need to meet these criteria:
1. Wholesome and positive content
2. Not too violent or gory
3. Easy-to-follow plot
4. Preferably with touching elements

So far, I've thought of "SPY×FAMILY" and the Studio Ghibli collection. Does anyone have any other recommendations?

"SPY×FAMILY" is perfect! It's funny and heartwarming, with absolutely nothing to worry about in terms of content. Even my mom got hooked on it.
My mom started accepting anime because I recommended SPY×FAMILY to her. Now she's even asking me when the new season is coming out.

Hayao Miyazaki's series definitely ranks first! "Spirited Away" and "My Neighbor Totoro" are perfect for all age groups.

"Wolf Children"! Even my dad cried after watching it. Parents will find it even more resonant.
The classic 'Heidi, Girl of the Alps' generation may have more resonance. It connects with their childhood memories.
I recommend Natsume's Book of Friends. Older generations will surely love its gentle atmosphere. Plus, each episode is standalone, so there's no need to follow a continuous plot.
Starting with Hayao Miyazaki's films is truly the safest approach. His works possess a depth that even adults can appreciate.
Anya from SPY×FAMILY is really loved by all age groups. My grandma thinks she's adorable too.
Cooking while watching anime with my mom is a life dream. Recommend 'Nichijou' or 'Laid-Back Camp'.

If your mom wants to cry: Grave of the Fireflies. But it might be too heavy... it depends on her tolerance for that kind of content.

The food scenes in the animation are super appealing. If the elders enjoy cooking, you could start with "What Did You Eat Yesterday?".

I recommend starting with Hayao Miyazaki's films. Older people usually don't mind movies, and a two-hour film is just right.
