Kiki’s Delivery Service (1989)

Genre: Animation,, Adventure, Drama

Director: Hayao Miyazaki

Starring the voices of : Kirsten Dunst (dubbed 1997)

Kiki’s Delivery Service is a movie about a young witch who is trying to become independent. She decides to set up a courier service of sorts, but finds out that this idea is much more challenging than she previously expected.

I’ve watched this movie several time and while I do enjoy it and consider it a fine film. It doesn’t connect to me as strongly as other works by Miyazaki. Though, with that said, I love the talking cat named Jiji. The animation is top notch once again and the characters are very interesting.  It’s a solid film, but just doesn’t hit close to the heart as others do.

What is your favorite Miyazaki film?
