even in the fantastical miyazaki gives us a realistic female character, something more true to life and down to earth than the princesses we normally get from animation with female leads. this film is a bit more reductionist than some of his better known films, and it moves a bi... read more
The first film by Hayao Miyazaki that I saw. It's still his most purely enjoyable film and features one of his best heroines.
Another Miyazaki classic. Who knew the day-to-day exploits of Kiki could be personal yet so epic. Kiki is one of Miyazaki's greatest characters and the animation brings her and the strange city she lives in to vivid life. I also really liked Kiki's talking cat who was really f... read more
Its cute, entertaining, beautifully animated, and perfect for the entire film. Kirsten Dunst does a great job in her first film as Kiki, and Phil Hartman does a great and funny performance in one of his last roles as her cat Gigi
I didn't love Kiki's delivery service as much as I thought I would. Hayao Miyazaki is a great director of animation but I much prefer the more fantastical and bizarre studio Ghibli films, this one seems a little tame in that sense. I still loved it though, particularly little Jij... read more
Japanese anime about a girl called Kiki, who is 13 years old and needs to find her way as a witch. Her only skill is flying so she sets up a delivery service. Voiced by Kirsten Dunst.
Breaktaking! Delightfully entertaining magical family of Studio Ghibli animation. The flying scenes and scenery of the generic European city are totally convincing.
This movie is full of silent beauty. When the baker's wife invites Kiki to move in above the bakery, you get the im... read more
Very cute movie, though I never did figure out why people winking creeped out the little cat so much.
A wonderful and enchanting animated film about a 13-year-old girl's initiation into adulthood through her adventures in a strange city. Full Review
The magic of Kiki is the girl's sense of wonder in her new world, whether it's her soaring flight among the migrating geese or a bicycle ride... to see the dirigible. Full Review
A fine, sincere piece of bittersweet delight. Full Review
An excellent alternative to much of the frenetic, princess-driven fare that seems to dominate the genre. Full Review
Miyazaki has found here the perfect balance between allegory and the actual. Full Review
The animation is particularly fluid, especially in the scenes where Kiki flies over the city and along its streets. Full Review
One of Miyazaki's most personable protagonists, a delightful cast of supporting characters, and a rambling, episodic story full of charming incident and irresistible imagery. Full Review
