7th Place |
Copyright: © 1989 Tokuma Shoten Publishing Based on a story by Kadono Eiko. Directed and produced by Miyazaki Hayao (Studio Ghibli). Suitable for Family Viewing - Some parts might not hold the attention of impatient kids. There are many good role models throughout the movie. Kiki's bloomers show (very often), but there is no nudity, sex, foul language or double entendres. The movie does depict "witches", but they are all "good" -- no evil spellcasting or anything else that might be considered objectionable. Kiki is a pretty typical young girl -- except that she also happens to be a witch. On a clear, full-moon lit night, Kiki and her black cat, Gigi, set out to find their own city to work in. (In keeping with their traditions, a witch must work for a full year on their own when they reach thirteen years of age). But what sort of job can a witch who can barely handle her own broom possibly find? A courier service, of course!
