English | Japan | 103 mins | 1989 | Cert: PG | Dir: Hayao Miyazaki
This classic family adventure from legendary filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki (My Neighbour Totoro, Spirited Away) is set in a world where friendly witches exist alongside ordinary humans. Like all witches of her age, 13-year-old Kiki has to set out on her own. Accompanied by her talking cat familiar Jiji, Kiki flies off on her broomstick to settle in a new town. There, she finds a room above a bakery and starts her own business - a broomstick delivery service! But as her business quickly takes off, her own self-doubts put her magic powers at risk…
Beautifully animated and endlessly charming, Kiki’s Delivery Service remains one of Studio Ghibli’s most beloved classics and has now returned to the big screen!
“Even by Hayao Miyazaki’s elevated standard, Kiki’s Delivery Service is a singularly charming film.” - Charles Solomon, Indiewire
★★★★★ “As a story about how hard it is to make your own way in the world, ‘Kiki’s Delivery Service’ is truthful and scalpel-sharp. That it manages all this while remaining consistently funny, optimistic and exciting – even for little ones – is a mark of Miyazaki’s genius.” - Tom Huddleston, Time Out
