60 of 168 · most liked firstI somehow never saw Miyazaki's "Kiki's Delivery Service" (1989) and, wow. I'm totally blown away by this film. The wind in this movie alone is incredible — every blade of grass. The crowds, the architecture, the story. Absolutely floored - go watch it if you've never seen it.
positive · AI labelView post →The reason Kiki's Delivery Service is one of my two favorite Ghibli movies is not just because it's the cute witch movie, it's because it's about the anxiety and burnout that comes from monetizing your hobbies and every time I watch it I feel like I got punched in the face (positive)
positive · AI labelView post →if you are an artist, PLEASE watch the new Cinema Therapy episode on Kiki's Delivery Service, a film that exists as an allegory for turning your art/creativity into your day job, and how to rebound from the burnout that causes www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9H8...

neutral · AI labelView post →On top of all of this, it's funny how the only Miyazaki movie that actually has "cozy Ghibli vibes" is Kiki's Delivery Service. The only way you can really call Totoro "cozy" is if your only exposure is art prints in an artist alley.

positive · AI labelView post →It's my second favorite Ghibli film, behind Kiki's Delivery Service. I'd argue Mononoke is *better*, but I just love Kiki's more.
positive · AI labelView post →To celebrate getting to see my favorite Miyazaki movie in theaters for the first time, please enjoy the moment in Kiki's Delivery Service where all three McElroy brothers show up
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Kiki's Delivery Service for the first time (I know) and the song over the opening credits ("Rouge no Dengon" by Yumi Matsutoya) is my new favorite thing. I'm watching this for @youaregood.bsky.social so if you have any feelings about this movie (I am sure you do), I'd love to hear them.

positive · AI labelView post →Like, this isn't just streaming. If you buy a post-2010 Kiki's Delivery Service bluray, the audio is broken. It's insane to me that such big companies and such a well-known movie can have THAT bad of a flaw and it's just kinda accepted??!?

After making the theme [Ponyo](https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/2222096) for Eternity based on color palettes extracted from [Ghibli](https://ewenme.github.io/ghibli/) movies I chose now the color palette of Kiki's Delivery Service to make a new theme: Kiki Hope you like it, I will post the theme in the comments.

neutral · AI labelView post →Spent my evening watching the restoration of KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE at our IMAX. The subtitles are a little bit different each time the film gets released, and with every modification the dialogue loses some of its whimsical qualities & is replaced with an ethos of hard work breeding good habits
neutral · AI labelView post →It's almost 9pm and my daughter should be sleeping BUT she's watching a full length movie (Kiki's Delivery Service) for the first time ever and I daren't disturb her. Usually movies don't hold her attention and I think this might be her gateway Ghibli movie 🥺🥰 so happy!

positive · AI labelView post →Kiki's Delivery Service is such a good movie, i wish creative burnout was real wait no witches i wiSH WITCHED WERE REA-
positive · AI labelView post →I could have filled this with Studio Ghibli movies, but that wouldn't be fair, so I went with Kiki's Delivery Service because I adore that movie. Pan's Labyrinth is another favorite, and I rounded it out with two more recent movies.
positive · AI labelView post →Likewise with Kiki's Delivery Service for me, although probably because Disney felt the need to fuck with the music as well as the dialogue in their dub. How this did not result in Miyazaki, Hisaishi, and Sugimura going on a rampage in Disney's offices with their [katana, Walther P-38, and magnum](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079833/) is beyond me.
neutral · AI labelView post →A while ago I saw My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service in theaters and both times there were two tiny kids who looked too young to read the subs but knew the movie well enough to recite some of the lines along with the characters. And at the end of Totoro one of them said "yay"
neutral · AI labelView post →I would suggest many of the Ghibli movies. Totoro and Ponyo are great for youngest kids. Howl's Moving Castle and Kiki's Delivery Service are excellent for a bit older.

positive · AI labelView post →94. Kiki's Delivery Service, 1989 I fucking love this film, a witch struggling to live on her own and dealing with burnout from stress and uncertainty hits incredibly close to home, can't help but feel I need to hold onto that hope too seeing her save the day in the end. Loved it
positive · AI labelView post →Kiki is back in UK cinemas! Wild to think that it was seven years ago this week (!) that we screened Kiki's Delivery Service at Green Man Festival, with a post-film chat with @hannahstrong.co.uk.
neutral · AI labelView post →Also worth nothing that while consession prices seem insane and definitely are very high - stupidly high - on the other hand, most theatres are barely scraping by, so I view it as part of the ticket cost keeping them alive. I also rarely see movies in theatres. Saw Kiki's Delivery Service a week or two ago - tix were around $20 each, and we spent $15 on a soda and popcorn to share. So instead of $40 on tickets, I think of it as $55 on tickets (wife and me), and that's not something I can do…
