Both follow a very fundamental story trope. Protagonist has a trinket that the antagonist want so that they can rule the world. Otherwise, the stories are pretty different and the dynamics between the characters make for different character arcs. Steamboy is very accessible to non-anime viewers so it's a great introduction movie.

Both are rare and good samples of steampunk anime, which should be checked by fans of the genre.
Their stories are far from their most powerful card, and in fact feel generic, and these movies also flat as far as messages and characterization are concerned.
But, they are easily among the most beautiful of their time, and hold up to this day, Steamboy in particular. Great direction and their aesthetic is rich and detailed. They are also well-rounded movies, and can be easily accessible even to people who do not watch anime.
