Set in a time when airships still ruled the skies and World War II never happened, KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE is a coming-of-age tale that explores the difficulties of being a young witch. On her thirteenth birthday, budding witch Kiki is in a hurry to leave her family and establish her independence. With only her talking pet cat as a companion, Kiki is attracted to the bright lights of a beautiful port city, but finds that making friends is not easy. Using her skill at riding a broom to start an express delivery service, Kiki quickly discovers that she cannot take her unique abilities for granted. The film is based on the book MAJO NO TAKKYUBIN by Eiko Kadono, a Japanese writer of children's books; the title literally means Witch's Special Express Delivery. Like Miyazaki's MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO, KIKI is languidly paced--the better to appreciate the level of detail of the film's animation. KIKI differs from the typical witch film, like THE CRAFT: Kiki's abilities serve not as a symbol for evil or for ultimate power, but for the talents that lie within the reach of every girl. The film was dubbed in English by several prominent actors, including Kirsten Dunst, Phil Hartman, Janeane Garofalo, and Debbie Reynolds.

My son loves the movie. A tiny bit scary for really little ones but he is in awe of it. A really great movie for kids and I highly recommend it. Much better than most other movies out there for kids.

Kiki's Delivery Service

Personally, I LOVE Kiki's Delivery Service. As a huge fan of Hayao Miyazaki, I feel any person's personal video collection would not be complete without everyone of Mr. Miyazaki's wonderful films. Kik's Delivery Service is no exception.
Kiki is a young witch trying to make it on her own. While parents of younger children may not like the "witchy" parts of this movie, it is in no way a negative or evil showing of witches. Kiki is genuinely sweet to everyone and tries her best at everything she does. She puts her whole heart into whatever she sents her mind to.
This movie is wonderful! The characters are easy to relate to and make the movie come more to life. Even the talking cat could be one of your next door neighbors. This movie is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
