Kiki's Delivery Services
By Professor Cornelieus from London , 20 Nov 2003[Highly rated reviewer]
This early Miyazaki work is a delightful, meandering story of a young
witch Kiki making her mark on a provincial seaside town, with her cat
Gigi, long before Harry Potter was ever heard of. There are lessons
along the way, as enthusiastic Gigi makes friends and becomes an
unlikely heroine.
Miyazaki's meticulous and breathtaking evocation of place gives us this
time a Japanese take on a French town, in a world where witches fly from
place to place on broomsticks. The art work is superb and haunting.
As always the English language version can grate if you are not
American - Gigi the cat has been given a particularly irritating voice,
which makes you think of Sabrina the teenage witch. But you can readily
forgive this film..
If you're ill in bed, or just tired and low, put this on to remind you
that life can be sweet, too. Kids and adults will love it.- Was this review helpful to you?

Kiki's Delivery Service
By Jeepster (52 reviews) from Sheffield , 24 Jun 2010[Highly rated reviewer]
This anime is a delight. The background scenes are a marvel in artwork. The characters are highly believable and well thought out, with just enough prominence given to each. The story-line is most enjoyable and does not tire throughout the whole movie. Well recommended.- Was this review helpful to you?

A masterpiece
By Sapphykins (2 reviews) from Tenbury Wells , 07 Jun 2009Disney, eat your heart out - this is undoubtable one of the best childrens films ever made. With it's beautiful animation, quiet humour and important themes, this is one film I would recomend every little girl sees.
The story follows 13 year old witch-in-training Kiki who, in traditional witch fashion, leaves home for a year to try and make her own way somewhere else. She eventually chooses a large city on the coast and settles down with only her cat Jiji for company. At first she is lonely and frightened by the constant noise and bustle but she soon makes fast friends. To try and make some money she sets up the famous Kiki's delivery service, running errands on her broomstick. But when she begins to loose her powers the race is on the regains them because only she can save her best friend!
A gentle and beautiful film, suitable for any age. Just what one expects from Master Auteur Miyazaki.- Was this review helpful to you?
