Maybe The Green-Eyed Blonde (1957) ?
"Behind the locked gates and barbed-wire fences of a Los Angeles-area reformatory for wayward girls and unwed mothers, the inmates conceal a newborn baby boy from the institution's housemother and caretaker guards two weeks before Christmas to keep them from sending him to an adoption agency. They steal linens and bedsheets to make diapers, take shifts to care for the baby, and make Christmas presents from odds and ends and personal items to give little "Buddy" the Christmas none of them have ever had."
Could be: "Life of crime" (2013) ?
Maybe Ryan Gosling? He is some similar.
Maybe "Child of Rage" (1992) ?
Cry-Baby (1990) ?

Do you remember something more? Is it USA movie?
Maybe "Joy Division" (2006) ?

"In 1944, 14-year-old Thomas is convoked to fight in the German Army. He survives, but his town is destroyed, his family dies in a bombing and his sweetheart Melanie is raped and murdered by the Russian Army. A Commissar brings the orphan Thomas to Soviet Union, and he is sent to the military school. Years later, Thomas becomes an agent of KGB and in 1962, during the Cold War, he is assigned to work in London. Living with ghosts from the past in constant fear and paranoia, he meets the black Londoner Yvonne, who gives him the strength of joy. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil"
I think that you're right. I found a book with Brachos Land, but it isn't.

Perhaps it is too rare, so nobody doesn't add this for IMDB database.
Perhaps it is extremely difficult to find, because it isn't marked as "animation" in IMDB database.
Maybe something like "Beyond the Magic Door" (1982– ) ?
I'm glad I could help :-)
It was possible only thanks using of advanced IMDB search engine.
And maybe "Beneath Still Waters" (2005) ? Do you remember something more?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371572/plotsummary/?ref_=tt_ov_pl
"Two boys make a pact to do something brave, crazy and dangerous. They will see their town one last time before a man-made lake floods it forever, burying it under the deep lake. Everyone's been evacuated - just the church, the homes, the abandoned shops remain. Only the eerie buildings...still hiding secrets that no one suspects. The two boys walk through the doomed ghost town. But the boys discover that the town isn't quite deserted. And they are trapped as a massive wall of water crashes down on the town. Time passes, and the whispered secrets of the town have been long forgotten. But now, fifty years after vanishing, the sunken town comes alive again. A boy vanishes swimming on a moonlit night while his girlfriend looks on. The very shoreline turns hungry, pulling people into the water. And below-below where it's incredibly cold and dark, the sunken town waits. Because beneath still waters something ancient now stirs. A forgotten legend lives again. Half a century ago they thought they had buried this horror forever. But you can't kill what was never really alive. And the massive stone walls of the Dam must soon burst and what was an incredible myth, will become a deadly reality."
Other possibility is "Weaverfish" (2013).
"After spending the night partying at a condemned river creek, the atmosphere is soon lost for quiet teenager Reece and his friends. Headaches and heartaches give way to a terrifying race back to civilisation as a grossly disfiguring virus takes hold on the most vulnerable."
OK. Third time lucky - perhaps it is "Beneath" (2013)
"Six high school seniors celebrating in the middle of a lake find themselves trapped on a rowboat due to a man-eating fish."
And maybe "The Bay" (2012) ?
Any idea?
Maybe "The Barge People" (2018) ?
"Set on the canals amid the glorious British countryside, two sisters and their boyfriends head off for a relaxing weekend away on a barge, unaware of the flesh-eating fish mutants lurking in the water, ready and waiting to feed."

Do you remember style of animation? Which animated movie is "similar" in visual effect? Something like "Krabat – The Sorcerer's Apprentice (Czech: Čarodějův učeň) " (1978) ?
Something like cutout animation ?
Perhaps it is "Kingdom Chums - Little David's Adventure" (1986)
Television special inspired by the Biblical tale of David and Goliath. Three schoolchildren from the real world are transported into the world of the Bible, with the help of three magical stuffed animals. One of them, a raccoon named David, becomes his Biblical namesake and faces off against a warthog giant named Goliath.
I found only "Lights - The Chanukah (Hanukkah) Story", but it is from 1983 or 1984, and I doubt, because it isn't too similar.
"A family-friendly version of the story of Hanukkah, a Jewish holiday also known as The Festival of Lights. Playful lights (letters) arrive from the sky one day for people to enjoy, but invading Greeks try to impose their alphabet instead."
Do you remember other kids? What was style of animation?
Perhaps it's " Tzav Kriya" (1989) , but I didn't find any information. It is 30-minutes short animated movie.
It is long shot, but maybe "High Art" (1998) ? But it contains lesbians and men too.
