Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Miyazaki conjures a pubescent fable out of whole cloth that both kids and adults will enjoy immensely, and with the late Phil Hartman on board as Kiki's wiseacre feline familiar, there's many more comic moments than in the director's later work. Jun 11, 2020 Full Review Charles Solomon IndieWire Even by Hayao Miyazaki's elevated standard, Kiki's Delivery Service is a singularly charming film. Jun 11, 2020 Full Review Keith Phipps AV Club Kiki's slow pace and light-on-conflict plot may surprise kids... but it's difficult not to be won over by the film's endearing characters and beautiful animation, as well as a storyline that stresses the values of independence and friendship. Jun 11, 2020 Full Review Mary Kassel Screen Rant After 35 years, there's nothing more comforting or moving than returning to one of Studio Ghibli's most enduring coming-of-age narratives. Rated: 8/10 Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Diana Tuova Spotlight on Film Kiki’s Delivery Service is an entertaining watch with stunning visuals and one important message for everyone to stay true to their core selves, gain independence early on, try new things and explore. Rated: 4/5 Aug 25, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Kiki’s Delivery Service might appear to be “kid’s stuff,” something adults could never sink their teeth into or reflect upon as serious cinema—such a misreading disappears after one screening of Miyazaki’s observant, sensitive film. Rated: 4/4 Aug 22, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Islam H Rewatching as an adult, doesn’t hit the same but still a decent watch. Must watch for children. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Miguel T Kiki's Delivery Service is a film that I watchted while I was sick, but despite that, I cant recommend it. The colors is one of the things I dislike the most, they are very dull. Also, I didnt enjoy the plot, or being more specific the lack of it. The film is not really about nothing, making it feel like a soap opera. Animation, is ok, nothing to do with Ghibli films such as Boy and the Heron or Spirit Away. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/25 Full Review L8ton R Osono was right. A delivery service was a great idea, let alone an amazing one just like what this movie is. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/18/25 Full Review Jim D Being accustomed to western movies and cartoons, I falsely identified so many things in this movie as evil. By the end of the movie, I was proven wrong and my systematic biases were shown. This movie was a huge breath of fresh air, and lead me to rethink the assumptions I make so frequently. Regardless, the movie has charming characters, perfect pacing and music. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/01/25 Full Review Jarrod P "It Would Have Taken A Miracle To Surpass The Achievement Of 'My Neighbor Totoro'... The Miracle's Name Is 'Kiki's Delivery Service'. The Best Family Film Ever Made." Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/31/24 Full Review Liam D One of the most charming animated films ever made. It’s light and breezy which is the best compliment you can give Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
