On her 13th birthday, klutzy witch-in-training Kiki leaves her hometown in the company of her talking black cat Jiji, as it is customary for all witches to live alone for a year when they reach teenagehood. Settling in a quaint seaside town, Kiki starts her own broom-borne courier business, but finds that her powers are fading in the face of her insecurity and self-doubt.
Taking place in a gorgeously rendered, geography- and era-blurring alternate reality ? Hayao Miyazaki himself provided many of the intricate hand-painted backdrops ? Kiki’s Delivery Service is a sweet-natured and inspirational coming-of-age story, forgoing grand adventure for the discoveries and epiphanies of everyday life and has proven to be one of the most popular Studio Ghibli titles in North America.
