Sometimes it's not easy." - Ursala Classic Studi Ghibli This film is much like the other films created by Miyazaki. It has the same animations the love connections the creative and magical universe. For me this felt like nothing more than a filler movie. Don't get me wrong i still enjoyed watching this one. I felt like it was left a little dry on the its creativity and magic. The only thing magical is the fact that Kiki is a witch and the whole world accepts them. And witches are no foreign thing to people we have seen them many times before in movies and television shows as good and evil characters. With other Ghibli films the main conflict is introduced right near the beginning which keeps you on guard for antagonists to strike. In Kikis delivery service the only real conflicts are her losing her magical powers as a witch and her friend being taken away in a hot air balloon. I loved the characters a lot though with Kristen Dunst as the leading voice actor she was absolutely adorable and her romance with the younger man was not to shabby either. Not to mention her cat friend Gigi. The e don't was very typical, but the scene where she catches her friend just before he plummets to death was very memorable. I only watched this Studio Ghibli film because I'm on a bit of a binge of the Hiyazaki films. So of you do the same thing be sure to watch it because it is still fun and enjoyable. |
