Charming submitted by Daniel Saltzman on January 4, 2010, 12:19pm A cute growing-of-age film about a young witch trying to find her place in the outside world, while trying to make new friends on the way.

Kiki submitted by pandangel12 on June 22, 2011, 10:08am Kiki is a witch in training, and she starts a delivery service in a town. She befriends customers and makes lots of new friends along with her cat, Jiji. A funny tale.

Great submitted by nfrassrand on June 23, 2011, 3:14pm A truly great movie

:-) submitted by marisal on June 27, 2011, 1:18pm I liked this movie a lot and would never get tired of watching this.

Fun submitted by xoxobrenda on June 29, 2011, 12:47pm Kiki is such a fun, growing young witch. Her journey to an distant seaside town, meeting new people, and regaining inspiration is a great story to watch.

Great! submitted by ashflowtuff on August 14, 2011, 5:50pm My kids and I all love this movie!

Great submitted by johnsoem on August 15, 2011, 8:47pm The story of Kiki is not so much that she's a witch, but that she's sent out into the world on her own to figure out who she is and what she wants from life. It's a fascinating and fun background, filled with beautiful scenery.

Sweet submitted by kittenkat101 on August 23, 2011, 11:55am This is such a sweet movie. Kiki is so spunky!

Good! submitted by catlover123 on February 16, 2012, 4:34pm This was a great movie!

awesome submitted by jszchen on July 28, 2012, 9:44pm This is a great movie, such a cute story

My Favorite Miyazaki submitted by Jan Wolter on July 8, 2013, 8:50am This is not only a terrific film, it's just about the best movie imaginable to share with kids. Kiki is a witch, though her magical powers seem to be limited to being able to fly on a broomstick. She sets out alone to try to find a place for herself in a world where witches are rare, but not feared. Though she has plenty of spunk, she is often overwhelmed by shyness. The movie has no violence, and no villains. Repeatedly, things that seem frightening (the baker's husband, a big dog, some birds) turn out not to be so frightening when you get to know and understand them. Though Kiki is obviously wonderful, she struggles with self confidence, and her romance with a flight-obsessed boy is continually undermined by her self doubt. The story of how she finds her mojo is is inspiring, and funny and charming.

Great, early Miyazaki film submitted by dimuziom on July 21, 2013, 4:24pm Miyazaki has earned a lot of attention for his more recent works, but his earlier stuff is also excellent! This is a wonderful story about coming of age and growing up, with humor and melancholy alike. This has always been one of my very favorite anime, and is especially appropriate for younger audiences, or those not interested in violence etc. as it is entirely family-friendly.

Fun submitted by 0liviap0pp on July 21, 2013, 10:47pm This is such a fun little movie.

Wonderful Japanese Film submitted by xiwang on July 27, 2013, 6:06pm There is something about Japanese films that completely sets it apart from Western ones. The unique, wonderful, awe inspiring artwork and the calm and peaceful story lines. This is a must see for any Japanese film lovers!

Gigi submitted by waffoo2 on August 6, 2013, 9:03pm This movie is inspirational to everyone. Recommended for people of all ages everywhere!
I adore her cat!

Son's Favorite submitted by godzilla on August 11, 2013, 9:07am This was my sons first favorite movie. He could watch it over and over. I like that Kiki is a strong and independent girl. Very cute story and the voice dubbing is excellent. We usually prefer subtitles.

I also own it submitted by unknown on August 17, 2013, 1:33am This is my favorite Miyazaki movie.

Is it.. submitted by readingqueen76 on June 15, 2014, 6:53pm Is the Dvd good?

Great film submitted by ishhewitt on July 14, 2016, 7:33am Another adorable, cute, funny Miyazaki film.

Old Favorite submitted by SolaireFQ on July 31, 2016, 3:21pm This is a delightful film about friendship and growing up.

Obsessed submitted by KJRULEZ on July 31, 2016, 6:54pm I was absolutely obsessed with this movie as a child. There was a period in my life where I watched this dozen of times. It's a great film--it's got magic, wonder, and a relatable coming of age story. Like all other Studio Ghilbi films, both kids and adults will love it.

Love it! submitted by Xris on August 26, 2016, 9:03am I've showed it to my anime club too! :)

Sweet & Beautiful Animation submitted by Beth Manuel on August 1, 2017, 4:45pm Finally watched this film after hearing so many families and kids rave about it. It's a nice tale. Kinda weird, though.

sweet! submitted by kbahleda on July 3, 2018, 6:34pm This is one amazing film. It is fun and adorable and one you can watch again and again.

Am@zinG submitted by Zaneeba on July 5, 2018, 12:34pm this was very good. i love the film.
:)

Cute submitted by anacoluthon on July 27, 2018, 2:39pm Kiki's struggles become very relatable once you hit your twenties...

childhood favourite <3 submitted by WiseRaven on August 15, 2018, 1:37pm this movie is amazing in all respects. the animation, voice acting, music, storyline. this used to be my all time fav and is still in my top five. jiji is cute and snarky and kikis adventures are interesting and enjoyable. watching her become the young independent witch she is is an incredible experience and will make you want to rewatch it time and time again.

Wonderful submitted by majean on August 17, 2018, 1:35pm I love this movie and recently shared it with my niece. She loves it now, too!

Sweet submitted by moola on July 13, 2019, 11:59am Cute movie. Have to watch with the kids

Favorite submitted by Lynne Aldrich on July 5, 2020, 1:14pm This is a favorite movie of mine for a very long time and still is.

good movie submitted by Fleabag on August 24, 2020, 5:38pm although this isn't my favorite ghibli movie, it's still a wonderful one. it's definitely more appealing to younger audiences. jiji's my favorite.

Cute submitted by irmcpherson on July 16, 2021, 8:55pm It is a cute and wonderful movie to watch.

Wonderful! submitted by Mel Ruiz on August 15, 2021, 1:54pm It's a great movie. Very imaginative! I always watch it once a year with my mom! :)

Perfection submitted by Bethybeth07 on August 3, 2022, 4:19pm This movie is so wonderful. The fact that it was made over 30 years ago and could pass for brand new says a lot. It stands the test of time and it's adorable. The animation is beautiful and the story is interesting to the entire family.

Amazing submitted by jeanholmi on August 3, 2022, 5:12pm This is a realy good movie about a witch and her cat in a big city
It is by studio gibbly and is realy good about staying to the story

All-Time Fav submitted by journeyhawthorne on August 7, 2022, 11:52am I was introduced to Kiki's Delivery Service when I was VERY small--3 or 4 years old. One of my earliest memories is watching this at my grandma's house. I credit this movie with my love of all things magical, though I'm sure I still would have enjoyed the fantasy genre if I hadn't seen it. It's become a comfort film that I watch when going through difficult times. Kiki, like me, struggles with depression, and watching her visibly overcome self-doubt in the finale never fails to give me goosebumps and happy tears. A great film.

A favorite for my daughter submitted by npullins on June 12, 2023, 4:29pm Every time we watch this together, my daughter and I love it. She was so happy to see it in the theater yesterday!

So comforting and sweet submitted by mgabbieb on June 28, 2023, 9:22pm My favorite Ghibli movie!! It is only positive and sweet.

charming and relaxing submitted by jklaben on July 1, 2023, 9:18am Great animations with a charming coming of age story. The whole movie is relaxing and just a good time
