This year was pretty much terrible for a wide variety of reasons. And with the world seemingly sliding further into a mire of intolerance, apathy and violence, it was nothing short of therapeutic to watch a movie where people actually get along with one another. Where mutual respect and helping each other out leads to an improvement in people's lives. So uplifting in its sincere niceness that it was hard not to get kinda emotio- erm, I mean, I kinda liked it I guess whatever pfff.

What a pleasant surprise. It’s refreshing to see a world so full of warmth and kindness. They’re so carefree in this universe people aren’t pissed off they were shafted at birth and not able to fly. The most evil thing a person does in this movie is talk shit about their grandma’s cooking. I watched this in original Japanese with subtitles because I’m not a heathen but then noticed on IMDb Phil Hartman voiced JiJi so I went back and fast forwarded through to the Jiji scenes and meow.

Studio Ghibli's top director is responsible for this breathtakingly animated (as usual) children's movie, although by western standards it's way too intelligent to be for kids. Sure it's very lighthearted but if you have any emotion in you whatsoever, you will be swept away by Kiki's typically meager little witch girl troubles, which are so well rendered. And being the maniacal cat lover that I am, Jiji instantly became my all-time favorite animated cat.

A rich tale about independence, in which the director frames the new life of this lonely but strong teen witch as a superhero story -- she comes to a new town, helps people by delivering their stuff, starts to lose her powers and, eventually, saves the boy that loves her. Miyazaki is the master of looking extraordinary acts in common people. His heroes are poor, anonymous workers, working class people. They have their lives changed by changing other people's lives.

Such an interesting film because Kiki is no savant, no huge prodigy - her skill is not refined or has a great deal of perfecting necessary before the end of the film. She may not even be average -- there are hints she's a subpar witch, but with a warmth of heart transcending her station in life. So the focus becomes maximizing your sometimes limited potential, not reaching for the stars, or maybe landing on the moon. For some, Earth is a fine place to be.

What always strikes me about Miyazaki's work is how much effort is devoted to how things move and interact - everything has weight, the wind has real force behind it, and it all feels so real and tactile. It's something you don't see often in animation. Now, Kiki's Delivery Service is a bit on the light side, but watching Kiki herself stumble around a kind, lovely world and find herself is a wonderful time. Everyone needs a pessimistic animal sidekick.

Storywise, it's as light as a feather. There's little (if any) dramatic tension and what little plot there is merely serves to progress from one beautiful scene to the next. But I dare anyone not to have a warm fuzzy feeling in their stomach after watching this. It's light and fluffy whimsy executed with masterful precision.

The best magic here is in the bravery of a young child, augmented by the social structure that supports her. There is nothing so fleeting and transient as ethical exchange, this is less a romantic film than a romance about community. It doesn't have any wrong ideas and even a few mean ones about growing up.

I liked it quite a bit more on rewatch than I remembered from initial viewing. The characters are very likable and adorable, and the humor is excellent. It's a very whimsical film with beautiful animation. The story is good, but impales a bit in comparison to Miyazaki's other works for me. Still, this was very enjoyable And beautifully done. I'm willing to bet it was a huge hit upon release when 2D animated movies were so big. The ending feels slightly rushed, but this was still very good.

Passes the Bechdel test with flying and colours: Kiki's forest talk with Ursula about art, magic, and inspiration was brilliant, but that's not to slight her coffee with Osono or birthday exchange with the old woman. These dynamics combined with Kiki's business blunders (Jiji's sacrifice was hilarious) and poignant personal growth (from "something's wrong with me" to the brave rescue to the letter home: "there are still times when I feel sad") make for a deceptively powerful coming-of-age tale.

Top-notch Miyazaki entertainment, about a young apprentice witch who sets out to make her mark. There's not a ton of plot here (or much conflict), but the film is so full of warmth and humor that it doesn't matter. Fine characters (Jiji the cat is especially memorable), fine voicework in the American version, and a beautiful score. And, of course, Miyazaki's wonderful animation. Perfect family entertainment.

If you disregard the fact that the main character is a witch, Kiki's Delivery Service is quite ordinary and down to earth. The animation is plain compared to what the Ghibli guys would go on to do, but it more than gets the job done. The story is utterly charming, and the ending, while somewhat fluffy and obvious, will make you feel great about life.

This was surprisingly cute and sweet. The beginning was a little typical, but after that I found myself becoming increasingly engrossed in the story. The characters are so adorably drawn and the cats were perfect! The way they moved was great!! The film consists of lots of tiny plots all circling around the central one, Kiki. It's not, perhaps, cinematic brilliance, but it was enjoyable, and I was smiling practically the whole time!:D

A massively charming little film in its deeply human-level stakes framed through magic witchy shenanigans, its character relationships, and its coastal village settings, one of the most charming locales in all of Ghibli (and, by extension, in all of film). If I were to pick my favorite of Ghibli/Miyazaki I'd probably lean more towards the epic fantasy of Nausicaa and Mononoke, but that isn't to say that this light-on-conflict, high-on-charm concoction doesn't belong in your collection.

Enormously endearing coming-of-age story that is at the same time highly emotionally intelligent and not running all that deep. The depiction of the fantasy-European city teeters on the edge of kitsch. Unlike Totoro which holds wonders for every age, here I felt a little sad I didn’t get to watch this as a child.

Miyazaki has such an amazing talent of making the mundane every-day activities of a character seem like the most charming thing in the world. Kiki's feels like a warm fuzzy blanket, a comforting world full of compassionate, kind and caring people who take strangers into their homes without hesitation and bake cakes for another. God I wish our world was more like Ghibli film.

Kiki's Delivery Service is a coming-of-age story in which the only real conflict is self-doubt. Miyazaki's conceptualisation of witches in this film is more muted, allowing for a more (ironically) grounded character. I liked how Kiki dealt with situations and other characters' perceptions that were out of her control, cementing her as a great role model for children. Overall it's a calm, tempered film in its animation, music and plot that is still entertaining and engaging.

Cute and sweet, without ever being overly cutesy or ever so slightly sacharrine, and Kiki and her cat Jiji are very likeable indeed. The simple story is entirely compelling and - although it's about a young witch with the ability to fly on brooms - surprisingly grounded and relatable as well. Up there with Miyazaki's best animés!

A beautiful film about growing up, leaving home and gaining your independence and the struggles that come with that. This film will resonate for many people who have moved to a new city, be it for college or for work, without knowing anybody there. Kiki is a lovely main character, the scenes of her flying are joyful, and the city really comes alive in the background and animation work.

Kiki's Delivery Service is a respectable Miyazaki movie, and by that, I mean it is still quite amazing despite not being as good as the others. It's beautiful and blissfully simple, though I would wager some of the charm is lost due to its simplicity. An easy recommendation and a very fun movie.

Phil Hartman's performance, while generally excellent, involves way too many sarcastic jibes apparently meant to fill in otherwise quiet scenes. As a personal narrative film it's a bit weak, and as a zen exercise it's definitely inferior to 'Totoro.' The climax is a blatant contrivance. All these issues are largely swept aside by the film's intense charm and stunning presentation, which demonstrates Miyazaki's great strength - the ability to put the viewer in a trance of childlike wonder.

This is the only Ghibli I haven't particularly enjoyed. It's just too empty. I think the blame may be placed on the English dub, which is the only Ghibli dub that's detracted from my enjoyment of the film. The fact that it's just 100 minutes of "cute" probably doesn't help either.

Lovely. I always love it when Miyazaki indulges his love of flight (which he does liberally here) and though it seems more 'kiddish' than Miyazaki's other films it is so emotionally mature and intelligent that anyone with a soul can enjoy it (though the boy here feels a bit too cartoonish and some of the coincidences, such as the toy looking like Kiki's cat, can be a bit hard to buy into). Utterly charming and very fun.

Absolutely a brilliant masterpiece. Lacking in any actual flaws, this is the only existing case of an absolutely perfect film.

I thought this was a truly wonderful anime film. Although, this was really not unexpected from Hayao Miyazaki, of course. One of the things I really liked about this, and other Studio Ghibli films, is the female protagonist. It's not too often that you get a good, strong female lead character in children's animated films. I also thought it presented good moral values to kids. It's the type of film I'd be happy to show my children, if I had any. Cute, funny and wholesome. I loved it.

A magnificent, beautiful work. Seems most reviews on Criticker bump it down for being lighthearted (I doubt out of a negativity, but a sense of less importance). I can't agree. Kiki is nothing short of a tremendous, uplifiting film which contains no evil, but only the hardships and misgivings of good. I don't see this as a film to teach adults but one to inspire. For children, it is essential. PLEASE AVOID the Disney dubbing - most Ghibli dubs are good, but the English voicing is awful in Kiki!

Whenever I sit down to watch a Miyazaki movie, I know I'm in for a treat in animation and storytelling. I know because John Lasseter tells me before every single one.

This is probably the most simple of Miyazaki's fims, but that's not bad. It's a nice departure from the epic/awkward that has come to be expected lately. It's the story of a young witch who is coming of age and leaving her house. It's very light hearted, and a very feel good story.

Not one of Miyazaki's best, but certainly a feel-good movie that has a simple plot of a girl finding friends and a meaning in a new place. Just really cute and nice all-around, there's not really any conflict between characters to speak of, so I figure it works for when you just want to relax and watch something endearing. Kiki's cat is the best, though.

Sweet story about things like vulnerability, social anxiety, depression, and a host of others with likable characters and a fun premise. It doesn't reach the heights of something like Spirited Away as far as things like pure creativity go, but it's a much lower stakes, smaller story that is beautiful to look at and well executed.

I'll never watch a film dubbed. Unless Phil Hartman is one of the voice actors.

The plot goes nowhere. But maybe that's the fun of it. A carefree Miyazaki movie that will remind you of your younger years. Don't expect any coherence, however.

The movie leans a little tween but the charm is out of this world. Kiki is an everywoman witch just trying to make her way out in the wide world and this erstwhile Mary Tyler Moore does make it after all, leaning on her kindness, drive and her sardonic talking cat familiar. The animation is a bit dated, but the heart that courses through this story will stand the test of time. PSI: 88

I alternated between being bored and deeply moved, with much more of the latter by the end. Kiki's Delivery Service has a healthy dose of Ghibli magic combined with a realism that cuts deep and allows us to relate to Kiki. I find this combination---stories we can all recognise from our own lives together with fantasy---really fascinating and effective. Compared to many other Ghibli films with darker elements, Kiki's Delivery Service has smaller stakes, but this makes it much more personal.

Not my favorite Miyazaki story, but still a very solid entry. If you know Miyazaki movies there's no reason for me to describe Miyazaki movies. The animation is beautiful, the score carries you along on the beautiful journey, the characters are vividly, solidly real while still being distinctive and memorable. Watching a Miyazaki film is like sitting in a warm blanket on a cool day enjoying the outdoors with a hot drink in your hands.

It's astonishing to see a children's film without conflict or any really bad people. It's largely about how striking out on your own can be really difficult and complex, even with a support network of good people behind you. You need to figure out who you really are and how to develop confidence in yourself. It's an absolutely wonderful film and among Miyazaki's very best.

English dub – Beautifully wrought version of a tried-and-true coming of age narrative - presents a benign and charming view of the "real" world, full of kind and compassionate characters, where the visually inventive animation creates a vivid and strikingly tactile environment for Kiki to explore. Excellent vocal performances (with Hartman’s Jiji sardonically stealing every scene) – and Kiki’s path to maturity and self-acceptance is beautifully and movingly told. A feel-good treat.

i watched this on the wrong side of a projector screen, so it was about a witch who puts a boy into a airship before it takes off, then flies around taking packages from people.

Does Gigi ever regain his voice actor? My favorite character disregarded as a meowing schlup right at the end there. Sad. Tumbo Timbo Waldo? I love Kiki and her vibe and the pregnant couple and Gigi when he could still talk but I would leave the rest. good music per usual
