“If you wake up tomorrow and find a white cat, it’s me.”


STUDIO GHIBLI FEST 2017  continues with KIKI’S DELIVERY SERVICE on Sunday July 23rd at 1pm (dubbed) and Monday July 24th at 7pm (subtitled) For details and a list of participating theaters, go HERE


Kiki is now thirteen, and it is now her right as a witch to leave home and move to another town to start her training as a witch for one year. Accompanying her is her black cat Jiji; a very cynical, negative feline. Moving to a seaside town in France, Kiki acquires a room in the attic of a Bakery. She works in the there but soon starts her own business; a delivery service. A love interest ensues with Tombo, a young boy who dreams of making his own flying machine. Love also comes for Jiji in the neighbors white cat. It is interesting to note that KIKI’S DELIVERY SERVICE was not written directly by Hayao Miyazaki, nor was it is based on anything of his creation. It is, atypically, adapted from the work of a different writer, and therefore some of the differences between this film and other Miyazaki works can be traced to the source. Needless to say, KIKI’S DELIVERY SERVICE is another gem from the Studio Ghibli factory. It’s one that fans of the great Japanese animator will never tire of revisiting and one that always draws a smile. Those in search of something uplifting should give this one a chance otherwise you don’t know what you’re missing.
