Avatar took 12 years to make. That's a rarity for a film to take that long to make. But what if it took a decade to release a film that was finished? That was the case with Kiki's Delivery Service, released in Japan in 1989 and released to the USA in 1999.
Kiki is 13 and a witch in training. The problem is, her only ability as a witch is to fly. So (obviously from the title) Kiko starts a delivery service. However, her powers are starting to dissapear and she may not be able to save her best friend if trouble arises...
Ghibli can always be counted on bringing films brimming with imagination and wonder. Kiki is no exception. Here he brings the life of a teen and a witch together so realistically, it boggles the mind. The animation also makes the city another character altogeher..one that seems to be safe and caring. Combine that with great animation and voice acting and you have another Myizaki winner!
Rating: 9.1 out of 10 or A+
