Critic Reviews:
- " Even by Hayao Miyazaki's elevated standard, Kiki's Delivery Service
is a singularly charming film. " – Charles Solomon
- " Miyazaki's giddy, glorious seaside story about a budding young witch
and her sarcastic cat. " – Tom Huddleston
- " Kiki has given girls another way to express themselves and a whole new
set of aspirations. She's achieved the artistic dream, not only finding a way
to fly higher but encouraging others to do so as well. " –
