The ’80s: Kiki’s Delivery Service
A young witch, a mischievous black cat and a broomstick: that is all Kiki needs to take her first steps towards independence. A warm-hearted Miyazaki classic about growing up, getting lost and finding your own way.
According to an old witch tradition, thirteen-year-old Kiki must spend a year living independently in an unfamiliar town. Accompanied by her loyal cat Jiji, she sets off for the seaside, where she starts a delivery service and gradually finds her place in her new community.
But growing up turns out to be more complicated than flying a broomstick. When Kiki begins to doubt herself and even loses her magical powers, she has to rediscover where her strength comes from. With its vivid animation, memorable characters and sense of everyday magic, Kiki’s Delivery Service remains a timeless story about independence, friendship and learning to trust yourself.
