Rating:  - A delightful adventure
This is one of Miyazaki's best. He combines his love for exotic moving landscapes that are a gorgeous visual feast. As well as lovely imagery this movie has a story about the coming of age of a young witch who must grow up, and most importantly gather her courage to be a strong young woman. This movie is truly something that all young girls should watch. Its right up there with the classic Disney movies: Ariel, Lady & the Tramp, Beauty & the Beast...This is something you should definitely not miss out.
Rating: - Another Winner
Wonderful, whimsical....absolutely beautiful story. I has the same Miyazaki heart and soul that we have already seen in Spirited Away, but this time the story is about a young witch who is looking for her place in the world. Really lovely story telling.
Rating: - Great Story
This film is one of Hideo Miyazaki's best works. I love the film and watch it often. It is the story of a young witch (Kiki) whom sets out on her own with her cat (Jiji) to learn and develop her special skills. She encounters many obstacles and makes many new friends in this entertaining family movie. It is definitely worth buying and for anyone who loves anime, they should definitely own this movie.
Rating: - A film that can be enjoyed at any age
Kiki's Delivery Service is a film directed by Hayao Miyazaki. The film is based off a novel written by Eiko Kadono (but the film only covers what happens during the summer, while the novel covers more time). This was also the first film released under the Disney / Studio Ghibli deal.
The film tells the story of Kiki, a 13-year-old witch in training, and all the adventures she goes through to find her talents as she is growing up.
The DVD has a few special features: the introduction by Pixar's John Lasseter that appears at the beginning of the film, the "Behind the Microphone" documentary (which shows interviews and recording footage of some of the American voice cast), and ten minutes worth of the original Japanese trailers. While the trailers were interesting, the audio quality was a bit disappointing. The second disc contains the film in a "storyboard version" (however, I'm not sure how many people are really going to sit through a version of the film made up of storyboards instead of actual animation).
Kiki's Delivery Service is a wonderful "coming of age" story that can be enjoyed by kids and adults alike.
Rating: - Extraordinary Family-Oriented Movie!
It proves you do not need villains or violence to make a great movie. It is entertaining, warm, and family friendly. Enjoy it many times over!
