With voices of Kirsten Dunst, Phil Hartman, Matthew Lawrence and Debbie Reynolds. A young witch must learn to survive on her own in a new town. Created by acclaimed animator Hayao Miyazaki.

Kiki being thirteen years old is of the age when young witches leave home. It is customary for them to leave home for a year and find a city where there are no other witches to focus on their training. On a date unexpected by her parents she sets off to find a city by the ocean.

Kiki, off on her own, struggles with her self-confidence. This being a universal conflict for children around this age, and not just witches, I think it would be a good movie for younger children. The movie is rated G, so it was not exactly a movie for which I would be considered the target audience. That does not mean that I could not enjoy it. That does not mean more specifically that I did not enjoy it. By no means was this the best movie I have seen, but it was cute. What I took most out of it was the animation. Miyazaki continues to impress. I have liked other movies he has directed and plan to see as many as I can.

Miyazaki has wowed audiences with many films, including Spirited Away. You can learn more about this film and others from Hayao Miyazaki at MiyazakiMovies.com.
