Summary: I'm a 37 year old man, and still love this movie!
Comment: I admit this movie is REALLY cute and intended for a younger audience, but it speaks to the inner child in me. It has a real nice spin on kids gearing up to go be on their own. I was alos surprised (and elated) to hear the late, great Phil Hartman as the voice of GiGi.

Summary: Okay
Comment: After buying Spirited Away - which my family loved, I wanted to purchase more movies by Hayao Miyazaki. Kiki's Delivery Service was AVERAGE, nice story but nothing that stands out, $24 was way too much for this movie.

Summary: So darn cute
Comment: Kiki's Delivery Service is a very good and cute movie for all ages. The animation and voice talent is very good (watched it in Japanese, but the English translation is pretty good as well). The movie is about Kiki, a witch in training, who moves away from home in order to train. She reaches a pretty big city where she meets people that help her throughout the movie and also sets up a delivery service. Kiki deals with the challenges of the delivery service, making friends and dealing with her magic. The movie was really cute, but I found the ending too abrupt. Overall, it was good.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A solid entry to Miyazaki's legacy.
Comment: I don't consider this to be up to Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli standards, but it's also not the worst thing they've produced. Just so you know where I stand, it's better than Castle in The Sky, but not as good as Mononoke, Nausicaa, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, or Totoro. That being said, it's still a good movie that's fun to watch. It can move kind of slow and some of the English voice work is poorly done, but it still has the fantastic art and that feeling that something special was put into the film's development that you get when you watch a Miyazaki film. If you haven't seen it yet, I'd recommend checking it out.

Summary: This film delivers! (Volume 1: Part 5)
Comment: Enter a world where witches are kind, but their job can be pretty hard. 'Kiki's Delivery Service' introduces Kiki, a 13 year old witch that is ready to begin her right of passage by going out into the world to find a town that needs a witch to be it's guide. Excited to go she comes across this big bustling city by the sea and encounters more than she bargened for. Not any monsters or evil sorcerers, but life. Figuring out what her purpose in life must be she learns about earning money, why boys can be so strange and what it really takes to be lady. She should be careful because when you grow up to might start to lose the things that you love. Only by creating the perfect balance can you truly live life to the fullest.
'Kiki's Delivery Service' is such a delight. A perfect blend of story book fantasy and realism. The characters are so much fun to watch on screen especially Gigi the cat voiced in english by the late Phil Hartman. It's a family film that adults will like just as much as kids. I don't know what it is about Hayao Miyazaki, but he always knows how to deliver a great time with his films.

Editorial Reviews:

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!
