I always will enjoy a Ghibli film. They have such great stories filled with enchanting character, interesting concepts, and themes of adventure, imagination, and growing up. Kiki’s Delivery Service was the first Studio Ghibli film I saw as a kid so I definitely have fond memories of it. Revisiting it now as an adult, the movie still help up to my memory of it. This film was so great and I love Kiki’s story as she tries to grow up and find her place in a new city and find her purpose and role as a witch. Ultimately, Kiki is a person who wants to help people and will go to extremes to do so. She will ride through the rain to deliver a birthday gift, she’ll search through the woods to find a toy she dropped, she’ll even fly through the air with a borrowed broom and damaged powers to save her friend in a pinch. One of the most distressing parts of the film is when Kiki can’t talk to her cat anymore and realizes that her powers are fading. This worried me so much because it seemed like she was losing her purpose and what made her herself. It was also hard to see her struggle through this. In the end though, it was inspiring to see her overcome this and truly discover herself and find her purpose as a witch and as a friend.
