What Parents Need to Know
About Kiki's Delivery Service
Parents need to know that this film shows a 13-year-old girl coming of age and coping with the accompanying loss of self-esteem (in this case magical powers). She has much support and weathers the transition well, however.

Overall a great movie, with some small concerns.
Very good movie and enjoy it immensly. However, let me start with the negative. The parents allow their 13 year old to live alone without any parental supervision. That might be a concern. Also Kiki has several mishaps and almost injures herself several times. One of her friends almost dies hanging onto a rope. One the plus side, she is honest, resourceful and usually kind. She also helps an elderly woman. Overall a good movie but you need to know your kids depending on the level they can take.

Great movie for all!
I love this movie, all of Miyazaki's movies actually, but this on and Totoro are far and away the best for little kids. Much MUCH more friendly for little ones than most Disney films even - and Kiki is a better role model as well. She's smart, capable, warm and is drawn like a normal young girl. It will be one of the first movies that my daughter gets to watch. Oh - and Phil Hartman did the voice of her cat in the English version I think - very good!

I love this movie! It's so good!

No villains, no evilness, no inappropriate scenes, and no violence. It's just extraordinary characters trying to live despite limitations, both outer and inner. Just what animation should be.

Not that exciting...
Like all of Miyazaki's films, the art-work is incredible. However, this is Miyazak's first girl film, so I found it boring.

Positive Female Protagonist
Another fine Miyazaki film. A young girl grows up and learns her strengths. Great social theme, told well. Great writing and voices. I can watch it over and over again with my daughter. Some very minor peril with a happy outcome.

Great movie!
I love Hayo's films...and this is yet another of one of his classics! I felt comfortable with this movie to let younger children watch it at a party...no real objectionable material, no scary stuff (yes, she's a witch, but there's no occult magic), just harmless fun with a solid moral about the coming of age. Timeless.

no villain
My son loved this movie because there is no bad guy. He felt relaxed enough to really enjoy it without worrying about something scarry happening.
