Lmfao Kiki is the most relatable character in film history.
Maybe not the most imaginative Ghibli movie I’ve seen but certainly the cutest and most charming. I loved the colors so much, those blues were BLUE.
The stakes are hilariously low in this film but LOOK AT THE CAT HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE THAT?

Kiki is navigating a major depressive episode; it is important that everyone in this town be nice to Kiki and her cat.

how can i decide with whom i relate to the most in this movie... the young witch who talks to her black cat and always wears black, the black cat who is always a mood or the girl who lives in the woods by herself and draws birds

Studio Ghibli has an arsenal of laughs for their characters and every single one of them is the best laugh. The film is a gentle breeze on a cool day, extremely relaxing to watch and feel, like putting your brain on a rocking chair, or in a glass jar floating on a stream of water travelling to nowhere, carried by the tender flow of a heartwarming, friendly little story -- which is just about a newbie witch who's trying her best: a reminder that you should try your best too! Hang in there! The moment for you to finally shine is just around the corner!

I’ve seen this movie so many times and I’ve always loved it but this is the first time it ever made me cry. Maybe this says something about me? Not sure. Great movie tho.

We spent the entire movie trying to figure out where this city is and then at the end somebody waves a flag for THE STATE OF ALABAMA which -let me tell you- came as a bit of a surprise to us.
Review by Willow Maclay ★★★★★

Like a parable for young girls finding their way in the world with the help of great, diverse, women as a support group.
One of the best films about women

Review by Summer Star ★★★

Part 5 of my complete Studio Ghibli rewatch
“To be completely independent and a witch? Impressive.”
I watched this while drinking a pumpkin spice latte the coffee shop called “Kiki and Jiji’s Pancakes” as part of their Studio Ghibli themed specials board. I wish this movie worked for me but it never has. It’s such a neat concept, a young witch going off to find her way on the world, a coming of age story with a dash of magic, finding where and who you fit in with. But it feels overshadowed by the adventure with the zeppelin and her sudden loss/regain of powers. Timbo is kind of annoying, I don’t like how he feels so entitled to Kiki’s attention…

Review by SUJIN_ ★★★★

이 귀여운 영화에서 가장 아이러니한 것은 키키가 웃는 장면이 가장 슬픈 장면이라는 것이다.
Review by Niorre IC ★★★★½

Mais filmes infantis assim por favor, chega de piadas de peido sem graça
Review by Paul Bogosian ★★★★★

Phil Hartman as a snarky cat (in the English language version).
That plus everyone's very nice and there's a truly thrilling and kinetic action climax.
Clearly an inspiration for Spielberg's "The Adventures of Tintin".
Review by Alina Agafiței ★★★★½

So happy I finally saw this!!! I adored it. In some other existence, I just want to be Kiki. Or Jiji.
