Kiki’s Delivery Service

This week, I really enjoyed watching “Kiki’s Delivery Service.” I had high expectations for the movie going in because I loved watching other Studio Ghibli movies like “Spirited Away” and “Howl’s Moving Castle,” and this movie did not disappoint. I resonated with Kiki when she lost her ability to fly as a result of her self-doubt after the negative feedback she got. However, it was inspiring to see her find a new purpose and regain her powers after saving Tombo from the blimp. Part of the reason why I enjoy watching animated shows and movies is that I find it easier to identify with the characters since they don’t exist outside of the show. For example, sometimes I can’t help but associate Spiderman with Tom Holland, which makes it harder to see myself in Spiderman’s character. Overall, I thought watching “Kiki’s Delivery Service” was refreshing and a great study break. I will definitely be watching this movie again in the future.

One thought on “Kiki’s Delivery Service

  1. I think your insight into identifying with animated characters more than live-action is very interesting and I defiantly can relate to notion. I also have found it easier to relate to characters in fictional books far more than the movie or live-action depictions of those same characters. Potentially this stems from the same concept.
