Austin Chronicle

Miyazaki conjures a pubescent fable out of whole cloth that both kids and adults will enjoy immensely, and with the late Phil Hartman on board as Kiki's wiseacre feline familiar, there's many more comic moments than in the director's later work.

Even by Hayao Miyazaki's elevated standard, Kiki's Delivery Service is a singularly charming film.

Kiki's slow pace and light-on-conflict plot may surprise kids... but it's difficult not to be won over by the film's endearing characters and beautiful animation, as well as a storyline that stresses the values of independence and friendship.

Deep Focus Review

Kiki’s Delivery Service might appear to be “kid’s stuff,” something adults could never sink their teeth into or reflect upon as serious cinema—such a misreading disappears after one screening of Miyazaki’s observant, sensitive film.

Rated: 4/4

All time favorite movie. Great animation and soundtrack as usual with Studio Ghibli. A story that deals with growing up, making friends, dealing with insecurity and gaining confidence in the world.

My first exposure to anime as a kid, Kiki's Delivery Service is nostalgi just as beautiful to rediscover in adulthood as I remember it. This stunning animation tells the coming-of-age journey of a young witch named Kiki who sets out on a year-long adventure as part of her witch training. With hand-drawn art that incorporates elements of 1950s Europe, the film is easily approachable for those who love all things witchy, anime or are looking for a great movie to explore anime for the first time. The official English dub really secured its place in mainstream American media in the 90s, and will forever remain a childhood favorite.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
