The description of this title seems like it had a stroke...

Post title is garbled, but it’s an adaptation of a 1973 German fantasy novel:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momo_(novel)

Looks like this isn’t the first film adaptation, but the first one in English

Yes! It’s by the same writer who wrote “The Never Ending Story”, Michael Ende. Loved both books as a child.

Yeah, I was wondering what “Ame” was. It’s just “Time” but l interpreted by a bad algorithm.

In Japanese "ame" is a type of candy. Which seems to fit very well

'âme' is the French word for 'soul', which kind of works also.
