Kiki, entregas a domicilio (1989)

Studio Ghibli, which thrilled the whole world with the classic My Neighbor Totoro and whose name is a guarantee of high quality films for the whole family, brings a charming story about a teenage witch named Kiki. As tradition dictates, every girl gifted with magic must leave home to experience in another city on the threshold of adolescence and prove that she can take care of herself with the help of magic. Kiki and her black cat Jiji move to a seaside town, where she finds an ideal job with the help of new friends. Thanks to her ability to fly on a broomstick, she opens a delivery service.

As is characteristic of Studio Ghibli films, there are also fantastic motifs harmoniously embedded in the everyday civilian world. The delivery service of the witch Kiki is thus captivated by the picturesque atmosphere of the central city. Its portrayal reflects the fascination with European culture and architecture, which was imprinted in the film by director, screenwriter and producer Hayao Miyazaki, who is one of the most respected creators in the field of animated films in the world. In addition to the sun-drenched seaside town with its captivating, summer-sleepy mood, another of the director's typical motifs, which is his admiration for flying, also materializes in the film. The delivery service of the witch Kiki was loosely based on a children's book popular in Japan by the writer Eiko Kadono, which was translated into several other languages after the film's international success.
