VHS Movie Reviews of Kiki's Delivery Service (Widescreen Edition) [VHS]
Movie Review: "You have to find your own inspiration, Kiki"
Summary: 5 Stars
Hayao Miyazaki's animated features are simply wondrous. They evoke a sense of magic and the high level of sensitivity portrayed through the various characters make these features endearing to both children and adults, at different levels.
In "Kiki's Delivery Service", a young girl, 13-year-old Kiki (voiced by Kirsten Dunst) is an apprentice witch, and as part of her training, she needs to spend a year away from her family and friends in a coastal town, honing her craft and finding her `voice' as a witch. The rest of the film explores how she achieves this through various adventures and misadventures in an incredibly endearing manner. Kiki is accompanied on said adventures by Jiji, her familiar in the form of a cynical black cat (voiced by Phil Hartman). Though the subject matter deals with witchcraft, it is the theme of adolescence and coming of age that permeates the story and appeals to viewers. Kiki deals with some real conflicts in trying to come into her own and discover her inspiration, proving herself and developing self-esteem in the process. These are universal themes that many youngsters will relate to. My 5-year-old loved it, and so did I. The animation is wonderful, with nice details, vivid colors, and even the setting, i.e. the coastal town is well-rendered. I rented this, but I plan on buying a copy for my home library as I think this merits repeated viewings!
Summary of Kiki's Delivery Service (Widescreen Edition) [VHS]
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 AxmakerArt House & International VHS Video
