Reviews
" Kiki's small delivery service is a charming, loving children's film that deals with the difficult process of becoming independent and calls for people to go through life with open eyes."
" Even more than 20 years after its appearance, Kiki's small delivery service is a charming cartoon for children of all ages, with detailed drawings, loving characters and a timeless story about growing up."
“The anime by Hayao Miyazaki offers a varied and surprising plot that is well dosed and tailored to smaller children. As in the overarching chapters of a children's book, one event follows the other; every day brings new adventures. Miyazaki has set the events in a Scandinavian-looking ambience, very lovingly in detail and closely observed in the changing moods of a coastal city. "
