Violence: Kiki is briefly attacked by crows at one point.

Sex and Nudity: None. This is a children's movie.

Theological Themes: Kiki's a witch, though her flying around on her broomstick is the most magical thing you see. Kiki meets a random witch who says she's a fortune teller. She's in the movie for a couple minutes most, and nothing comes of their interaction.

Problematic Themes: There are no substances or swearing.

Overall: This is a really sweet movie, which I can relate to very much. I love Kiki and her strong determined spirit, as well as Jiji and all his sassiness. Ursula struck a cord with me, as well. The art is gorgeous. I can't even tell you how much I wanted to eat the bread in the movie when I was little. Kiki's Delivery Service is a very sweet movie with lots of positive messages. It is definitely a family friendly film for all ages. I recommend.

Review: This was the first Miyazaki movie I ever watched and it still has a place in my heart. I love how industrious Kiki is and she captures your heart almost instantly. The movie, like every Studio Ghibli movie, is very beautiful, and I'd recommend this movie to anyone who wants a quiet, relaxing movie. People of all ages will most likely enjoy it.
Music/Score While the original music is fine, I want to point out that the dub has original songs. I feel these songs really capture the spirit of the movie and I really like them, especially the opening song, "Soaring".
Sub/Dub: The dub is great, mostly because Phil Hartman steals the show as Jiji.
Religious themes: Although Kiki is a witch, she does not use incantations in order to fly. Instead she uses her spirit and emotions. The story really feels like a fairy tale, so if you like those, this shouldn't bother you.
