- It's a kids movie
- It's a Japanese anime
I have loved Hayao Miyazaki movies ever since I was a kid. I always used to get My Neighbor Totoro from the library. Once I discovered the fact that the same guy that had made that movie had made other movies too, I went on a search to find and watch them all. Over time Howl's Moving Castle became my favorite, and throughout all of the years, the only one I had never seen any part of was Kiki's Delivery Service.
Until now, and man, am I upset that I waited this long!
The story is about a young girl who sets off to find a new home as part of her witch's training. She leaves her family at the age of 13, and goes to a big city. At first she finds quite a few enemies, but very shortly after she not only finds some new friends, but one of those friends gives her a place to stay. Her and her cat Gigi then decide to start a delivery service. Throughout the movie we see her ups and downs, and how sometimes she has to sacrifice things and get nothing in return, and she may not always be treated the best, but she learns after a while that as long as she keeps her head up and stays strong, she can do anything she puts her mind to.
The story was very nice, and I especially enjoyed the scenes where she had to leave her cat with the little boy while she tried to find the doll. The dog, Jeff, was definitely a favorite character of mine!
As I said before, this is a movie for kids, but I want you to give it a chance if you haven't seen it before. It's actually very good. If you have kids this is definitely one they will enjoy, but I think it's fun for the whole family! I give this movie a 9.5/10.
What!? You ask? Yup, a 9.5/10! I really loved this movie, and I don't care what anyone else thinks of me because of it. Take a chance on this one, and I guarantee you'll love it!
This was my favorite movie when I was younger!!
