DISNEY - KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE(1989)
Another Disney presentation of the great Japanese
animator, Hayao Miyazaki!! This is quite cute and a lot
of fun to watch!! And the ending theme song is really good! A
A review from Amazon:
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
