Kiki's Delivery Service
Description
Discover KIKI’S DELIVERY SERVICE, a fantastic coming-of-
age tale full of magic, adventure and self-discovery from the sensational
imagination of Academy Award(R)-winning director Hayao Miyazaki (2002, Best
Animated Feature, SPIRITED AWAY). And now you can explore even more of Kiki’s
amazing world through never-before-seen bonus features — exclusively in this
2-Disc Special Edition DVD! Kiki is an enterprising young girl who must follow
tradition to become a full-fledged witch. Venturing out with only her 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 and begins a wonderful
experience of independence and responsibility as she finds her place in the
world. Bring home KIKI’S DELIVERY SERVICE from Studio Ghibli and Disney for
your family’s DVD library and share Kiki’s high-flying adventure 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
