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

Warning: It's changed 5 out of 5 stars
This 2010 special edition radically changes the music and edits lines. It is probably more elegant and honors the original better, and it is nice to hear Hisashi's other compositions and the ambient noises. But it feels all wrong.

Since our family has always found this to be a perfect movie as is, and bought a replacement for the better sound when the other died from too much love, it really threw us off to expect lines from the same voices that didn't happen, when the music is already ... Read More
