Kiki's Delivery Service

This is one of my favorite movies, such a nice story and beautiful art!

Truly an amazing animated movie! Ghibli done a superb job hand animating and creating the wonderful world of Kiki's which was written by Eiko Kadono.

I'm not a fan of cats and witches but after watching this, I just want to be a witch and have a talking cat. I'm so in love with this film.

It was lovely, warm and captivating all the way. I wish the end wasn´t so abrupt, it just ended without and actual and classical end.

charming and adorable, great break from everything else!

Hey, if Kiki can do it, you can do it!

very wholesome. i really enjoyed it!

Me: “Megan, I think you’d like Princess Mononoke.”

Megan: “Really? Because I’m not even really sure I cared for this one at all.”

Breezy, cheerful adventures with a thirteen-year-old witch (and her sarcastic talking cat) who leaves home to find her place in a new town. It's big-hearted and welcoming, as can be said of most of the Studio Ghibli catalog - colorful and fuzzy and full of life - but suffers from a lack of adversity and thus, falls a bit on the flat side. Self-doubt and adolescent shyness are her only major foils, and while those are worth exploring, they feel more like side acts than a main course.

Still, it's a delightful place to inhabit, a nice break from the doom and gloom of the outside world, and I enjoyed myself despite the relative superficiality. Kiki is a charming protagonist, bold and ambitious but also delicate and reluctant, and it's inspiring to watch her horizons broaden as she encounters different personalities and grows to love the coastal city she's chosen for her new home. A wonderful dose of escapism and fantasy, it's decidedly (perhaps intentionally?) light fare.
