Movie Reviews of Kiki's Delivery Service
Movie Review: highlights the importance of independent, creative thinking and art!
Summary: 5 Stars
Along with Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro this is one of my favorite films from director Hayao Miyazaki. All Miyazaki's films are absolutely beautiful, creative, and have such wonderful stories that captivate audiences of any age. Anyone who has seen Kiki, Spirited Away, or Totoro is sure to fall in love with these classic films which go so far beyond the usual Japanese animation. This movie, in particular, is perfect for any creative or artistic young woman, because it highlights the importance of independent and creative thinking along with arts and crafts (painting, bread baking, etc.). And of course, if you love cats you are also sure to love Kiki's little sidekick Jiji.
Summary of Kiki's Delivery Service
Rarely does a film touch so many hearts or reach such artistic heights as the highly acclaimed KIKI'S DELIVERY SERIVCE, the magical adventure of an enterprising young girl who must follow tradition to become a full-fledged witch. Venturing out with only her chatty black cat Jiji, KiKi flies off for the adventure of a lifetime. Landing in a far-off city, she sets up a high-flying delivery service. Here begins a wonderful experience of independence and responsibility as she finds her place in the world. The breathtaking animation of the legendary Hayao Miyazaki and the star voice talents of Kirsten Dunst (KiKi), Phil Hartman (Jiji), Matthew Lawrence (Tombo), and more make KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE soar with an energy, excitement, and the kind of imagination that entertains again and again!In Hayao Miyazaki's magical Kiki's Delivery Service, a 13-year-old girl meets the world head on as she spends her first year soloing as an apprentice witch. Kiki (Kirsten Dunst) is still a little green and plenty headstrong, but also resourceful, imaginative, and determined. With her trusty wisp of a cat Jiji (a gently subdued Phil Hartman) by her side she's ready to take on the world, or at least the quaintly European seaside village she's chosen as her new home. Miyazaki's gentle rhythm and meandering narrative capture the easy pulse of real life (even if his subject is a girl flying high upon a broomstick) and charts the everyday struggles and growing pains of his plucky heroine with sensitivity and understanding. Beautifully detailed animation and the rich designs of the picture-postcard seaside town of red-tiled roofs and cobblestone streets only add to the sense of wonder. This charming animated fantasy is a wholesome, life-affirming picture that doesn't speak down to kids or up to adults. --Sean Axmaker
