Kiki's Delivery Service Movie Reaction (Studio Ghibli) 

Whenever I get burnt out by my job or just life, I like to watch this movie. It reminds me that burnout isn’t permanent. It’s just a part of the process and I’ll probably find energy to do the things I love again.

Miyazaki explained Kiki was using Jiji as a crutch, and Jiji never spoke again because Kiki had grown so much.

You were right, Kiki lost her power because she had a lost of confidence in herself. I read on Internet, Jiji never talk again but it can be considered as Kiki's part of childhood who go away

I enjoyed your reaction. That senpai-witch is actually quite nice in Japanese version. She said like "That is my town. It isn't big but it's okay. Good luck for you too!" and it didn't sound spiteful at all. I like her so I feel so sad that English dub changed her like that. (Also the grand daughter didn't say "stupid pie". She just said "I don't like this pie." in Japanese...)

Kiki will be having the 10 years of experience once she's 17 for that entry level job

That is such an awesome, wholesome movie. One of Miyazaki's best.

As an artist and a writer, I take Ursula's words to heart. Whenever I hit a roadblock with my books or don't know what to draw, I don't push myself and force myself to write or draw, I just close my laptop and drop my pencil and relax. Watch some funny movies, go on a road trip, or make a puzzle. Anything to clear my mind and rebuild my inspirational spirit. And then after a while, my mind resets itself. Today, I have written nearly ten novels and published one of them (All It Takes Is One) while following this mantra, with my drawings now becoming integral to my job. Burn-out is real, it's harsh, and it's preventable. One cannot go all-out and work 24/7 365. Everyone deserves some time off. Tell your boss to watch this movie so they can understand what burn-out is all about!

This movie became so painful for me to watch since becoming an overworked technical artist. The feeling of exhaustion, isolation, and loss of talent hits so hard. Only just recovering enough to feel strong enough to watch it again.

Yay! Kiki's Delivery Service is such a wonderful coming of age story and it's fun to watch you two react to the movie together. Hope to see more of Ghibli reaction.

This movie gave me a lot of advice for me how to survive in the Europe Life. so I can easy imagine how to Kiki's feels. that's why this movie my favorite.

Notes on things you said - Phil Hartman was the voice of Jiji in the English dub, best known as the voice of several Simpsons characters including Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz. Dubbing this in 1998 was one of his final roles before his untimely death. His Jiji has nearly three times as many lines as in the original script, mostly added wisecracks offscreen. - Kiki's new home has a mishmash of different mid-20th-century European city designs incorporated; the Ghibli staff artists went on a quickfire tour of the continent for inspiration. The majority of it though is based on the town of Visby in Sweden. - Japanese pumpkins (kabocha) are quite different to Western ones; they are smaller, dark green in colour, and a very different flavour to the squash-like ones you carve at Hallowe'en. So a herring-and-pumpkin pie wouldn't be so odd if that pumpkin were kabocha; it might well go better with the pungent fish flavour. - Kiki's loss of magic essentially reflects her loss of self-confidence, and indeed her sense of self in general; her rediscovery of it symbolises reinventing herself from a girl into a young woman. I'm interested to know what version of the English dub you watched; in the Japanese original Jiji never goes back to talking to her, which Miyazaki said was an innocence of childhood that she could never reclaim. This was also true in this English dub, yet in the one I watched on Netflix just a couple of weeks ago, Jiji did speak to her again in the final minutes. Thanks so much for doing these Ghibli reactions again - I've been revisiting your previous ones throughout the year. I know you'll already have done and dusted this week's picks but I so hope one of them is "Whisper of the Heart" - a very similar film in terms of honing talent, battling insecurity, and finding a sense of purpose, only this time the protagonists are a writer and musician instead of a witch and a painter. Looking forward to whatever you've picked nonetheless!

This is my favorite Studio Ghibli movie ❤

At one point in the movie, there's an aeroplane type that doesn't exist anymore because the factory that manifactured those planes was destroyed during World War II. Hayao Mizaki have stated this movie is set in a timeline where WWII didn't happen, therefore that type of planes still are around.

I can never get over what a master storyteller Miyazaki is, which is made all the more impressive given the wide range of stories he brings to life. I absolutely love every one of his films, and he is without a doubt, the undisputed GOAT of animation and honestly the most consistent and greatest filmmaker I can think of, while there are directors whose catalog of work I've enjoyed, he is the only one that I would passionately say, WATCH EVERYTHING!!! Even the ones you think you're not going to like or are certain isn't your cup of tea, because the man will prove you wrong and you'll be kicking yourself for not watching them sooner.

We NEED castle in the sky ✨️

In the late 1960's, Hayao Miyazaki traveled to Sweden to get author Astrid Lindgren's permisson to make an anime adaption of Pippi Longstocking, so he visited her in Vimmerby but she said no because of her perception of cartoons were just violent slapstick (not blaming her since in the Golden Era of cartoons such as Warner Bros., MGM and Walter Lantz shorts contained a lot of violent slapstick). It wasn't compeletly fruitless as Miyazaki and co got to visit Stockholm and Visby on Gotland, which they used inspiration for the city where Kiki stays in this movie. There are even some shops in swedish text such as Gustaf Krantz Herrmode (Gustaf Krantz Faschion for Men) and Konst och Antik (Art and Antiques), and at one point there's a street sign saying "Klara Norra Ky" short for Klara Norra Kyrkogatan (Northern Klara Church Street). There were also research trups to Lisbon, Paris, San Francisco and Milan for the look of the city of Koriko.

i'm happy you guys loved this movie as much as i did!

I owned the original English VHS tape and it’s actually completely different than the one on streaming services. Different music at the beginning flying sequence, missing JiJi lines. I was so pissed off. Lol I can’t even watch it😅

Really shows everything about running a business. Being polite and going the extra mile, if you make a mistake find a substitute to make the customer happy before fixing the problem. Very honest lessons to learn for kids that might go over adults' heads.

I love the studio gibli movies i grew up watching them and kiki's delivery service and my neighbor totoro is two of my favorite movies and spiritied away as well

The cat sounds so much more cat-like in the Japanese language version. It's not supposed to steal the show, as it does in the English version.

I love Kiki's Delivery Service! It's my most favorite Studio Ghibli film of all time!

Kiki is voiced by Kirsten Dunst, most famous for playing Mary-Jane "MJ" in Sam Rami's Spider-Man trilogy from the 00's.

1:26:13 Suzy, you're right😃 The song that flows in this ending is sung in Japanese like this. When I was small there where gods And they granted my wishes in mysterious ways On mornings when you wake up feeling at ease Miracles happen even when you grow up Open the curtain wide let faint sunbeams shine through Let their gentleness engulf you I'm sure All that appears before your eyes is a message

I think the main reason Kiki wonders if there's a withc already in the city is probably that she doesn't want having to compete with a witch pupil. It's just my theory, though.

I don't know if anyone noticed this, but in Ghibli movies like Kiki's Delivery Service, and Castle in the Sky, there's a distinct difference in the English audio/dialogue in the streaming versions vs the video versions. In the streaming versions, there are large parts of English audio that are straight up cut out. This was supposedly done to make it more like the Japanese dub, but it sounds weird to me, and leaves whole parts of scenes awkwardly silent.

Me and my girlfriend really love this movie

I'm glad you continue to react Studio Ghibli movies. I watched all the reviews from last year's Christmas

Thank you for this series! I moved to another country for love a few years ago, and though I don't regret it, I still miss being able to see family. This has cozy family vibes and makes me feel better when I miss them. Thanks again ❤

This was the first ghibli movie I watched as a child

Fun fact - Kiki in the english dubs is voiced by Kirsten Dunst, (Mary Jane from the OG Spiderman trilogy)

I love that movie it's my favorite of the whole studio Ghibli

The setting for Kiki's new town was modeled after Stockholm and Visby, Sweden, that Miyazaki visited years before he made Kiki's Delivery Service. Stockholm's "Old Town" has a clock tower that is very similar to the one in the film. There is a video somewhere on RU-vid pointing out all the real-life places that are similar to ones in the film. There is even a building that seems very similar to Osono's bakery shop.

お二人のジブリ映画のリアクションが大好きです!!✨

In the japanese original Osono serves Kiki coffee but the Disney dubers thought it was inappropiate for kids to drink coffee, it was changed to chocolate in the dialouge. Though you usually have chocolate in milk, some coffee machines and cheap café uses water instead, it's not incorrect (though maybe not so common in the 1950's when the movie was set).

that cat's real name is Salem, in the near future he will cause a lot of problems, including trying to conquer the world, and for this he will be sentenced to house arrest at the home of Sabrina, a teenage witch who lives with her aunts and is in high school and he will continue to cause trouble with her... for 7 years 😄

Lil I just got into this series of you guys reacting to ghibli like a few days ago and have been having a marathon. I was sure I've watched all of them, so when I saw you are also reacting to kiki I thought I missed one. Turns out it's just uploaded 14 hours ago 😂 I'm lucky. Christmas came early

Thank you for the reaction video! I'm japanese and I've watched it more than 100 times since i was a child but i still cry every time after watch this movie. I don't know why but it makes me really touched and emotional like you. All of the GHIBLI movies makes people feel nostalgic and happy but feel so sad inside. Miyazaki movie gives me emotions that cannot be expressed in any words. I'm looking foward to see your reaction of the rest of GHIBLI movies.

It's been awhile since I even thought about this movie. Kudos

In the likes of other renowned anime films out there by Studio Ghibli, this is one of Miyazaki’s early work from the 80s that is quite charming.

IM SHOOKETH❤❤ I been binging your STUDIO GHIBLI videos🎄🎄

I loved Santorini. It is where I proposed to my wife, overlooking the volcano. I am also a major history nerd and the site of ancient Thera just amazed me!

I have to watch this movie again because this was the first Miyazaki film I've watched on VHS as a kid.

日本語で申し訳ないのですが 日本語版でのトンボの声優さんはONEPIECEのウソップの声優と一緒ですよ^^

Jiji doesn't talk again because the whole movie is Kiki going through the stages of puberty, coming out otherside an 'adult' and putting aside childish things like talking to cats

Yesss I love watching Ghibli movies with you guys

This movie was my childhood

It's Phil Hartman who voices Jiji, the guy best known from The Simpsons and he did some voices in The Brave Little Toaster including a Ceiling Lamp. Sadly, this was his last movie before he was murdered by his mentally unstable wife (who quickly commited suicide).

Barsa is actually named Bertha, though it is prounouced Barsa in japanese (like Santa Curoso is the japanese pron for Santa Claus). It is confirmed in the english subs that her name is Betha and she keeps the right name in the swedish dub (probably in others too unless she was renamed).

yes yes great Reaction and great movie thank you , Please we want many more like this

I would either suggest from up on Poppy Hill or Whispers of the heart met there both gibli

After seeing many Ghibli movies, you may want to check out the "Ghibli Music Orchestra Conducted by Joe Hisaishi".

Love how this version includes the original music while keeping the dub.

I am 13 and this movie firstly it was first time watch and it was everything. Like a girl my age going out on an adventure to figure her self out find her self really and the message, all in all it was amazing and I am freezing. Literally my fans on and it's cold and hands are freezing and I know it's out context. So, you I don't think you should judge anything by which time and era it came out on cuz it was amazing and the bit with the grandma it got me cuz my grandma passed away 5 to nearly 6 years ago I was 7 when she passed away I never really got have any time with her or my grandad cuz he passed away way before like almost 10 years he didn't even got to see my younger siblings my little sister wasn't even born yet by that time. So, and like her growing as a person learning that like being a witch isn't all that she thought it is it's more then that. And I love the cat sorry I don't know how to spell the name properly and ahhhh just like we and mostly nowadays we depends so much on our parents and guidance that I could never ever imagine going on an adventure even in my 20's Idk. I wanna go out there see the world (well, not now after I am a little bit more grown up. Obviously not when I'm 13 but) my mom's always like not wanting that where's my dad's always a little bit more motivation, ya 'know. So yeah that was a long comment ofe analysing and reflecting my self with it. Can't wait to see tomorrow's movie after I wake up in the morning. Bye for now 🤗✨

This one was my first ghibli experience as a kid followed by spirited away and ponyo

You guys are my favorite anime reaction channel! Can’t wait for the next one. 楽しみです！

This movie just truly warms everyone’s heart. ❤

I love this movie and glad you guys got to enjoy it! I do have a suggestion on other ghibli movies that you haven't mention and I want you both to react to. Nausicaa of the valley of the wind, From up on Poppy hill, The cat returns, Arriety, Whisper of the heart, When Marnie was there and Only yesterday. I'm sure you both will enjoy this movies ☺️

jiji’s the actor from Jingle All the Way 😅 and Kisten Dunst as Kiki ❤❤❤

i love ghibli And I love your reactions too.❤

魔女の宅急便はジブリ映画で1番好き🎉

Is Steejo talking about the movie "White Chicks" as the comedy movie where they say "Let's gooo shoppinggggg" with the twinkle fingers?

The first mobile phones were called walkie, talkies. Or RC here in the states. Not the cola the radio.

Love your videos

Was just watching your Wind Rises reaction and thought, Damn, I need a happy movie. And then what do I find in my suggested? Only your reaction to my FAVORITE Ghibli movie. I'm sure it's not the exact version I like, where they use extra pop songs and at the end, Gigi CAN talk again, but I'll make do with it.

Hi suzy merry Christmas 🥳❤ , watch weathering with you ❤

57:59 best scene in the entire movie!

Wish you kept the reaction to "I'm gonna miss the sound of those bells." cus it's funny in a adorable/sentimental way.

Hey Suzy Lu and steejo merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 🎁

This was one of my fav movies growing up.

二人の反応がキキとトンボの成長した姿に見えて微笑ましく感じました🤭

Yeahjjjjjj I’m sooo happyyyyy!!! My comfort channel! ❤

That blimp accident seemed so real; Hayo Miasaki is a great storyteller.

I've always thought that every girl born should get their own copy of this.

love it!

もらい泣きしました🥲 I cried when I received your reaction.🥲

59:05 It was at this moment that I realized that Why Tombo had shown many interest in Chi-Chi, who could fly.

Merry Christmas! 🥳🌲

Hayao Miyazaki's last movie will be released on July 14th next year in Japan!

57:24 nice reaction !!

ジジの声がおじさん、、 まじかよ！？、

"quidditch champion in no time." 🤣

Very impressive!

One of my favorite Anime of all time. I love Jiji. I would love a cat like that. 😻 Another one is Totoro and Spirited Away! My husband's favorite is Princess Monoke!

可愛いジジの声が英語版だとオッサンに😅

Highly Recommend "Whisper of the Heart" for your next Ghibli Movie marathon. Its my favorite and it always seems to be a bit underrated. Its probably one of the most similar to Kiki's Delivery service.

the gee snsd shoutout! love it lol

I really hope yall do The Cat Returns

my favorite movie☺

Hey! Don't diss Siamese cats! My cat, Magnolia, is Siamese and is the sweetest cat I know. Plus they are mostly white, not black. This is such a sweet movie. Spirited Away is my favorite from Studio Ghibli...along with Whisper of the Heart. But this is in some ways the sweetest. The city, as I understand it, is bases on Stockholm. But I have not yet been there so can't confirm. Closest I have been is Helsinki. You mention Santorini...been there twice and love it. I proposed to my now ex-wife on Santorini overlooking the volcano. It was one of I think four volcanos we visited during our time together. Later we got paired tattoos...based on a mural of two birds at the site of ancient Thera on Santorini she got one bird and I got the other. It was a way of being disgustingly romantic while still assuring we would like the tattoos in case we ever broke up.

Omg yes finally

"Spirit Fingers" not is from Bring It On if thats what he was thinking of in the beginning!

kickis delivery service is based of visby in sweden, so the town is sweden :)

ジジこんな声じゃないのに〜（ ; ; ）

You should play ni no kuni wrath of the white witch. The game is so good and studio ghibli did the animation for it xxx

ジジの声が🤣笑

If no one answered you, I believe you are thinking of Spirit Fingers from Bring It On

Did you change the music from the beginning?

Spirit Fingers -- Bring It On

PLEASE DO Studio Ghibli's "WHISPER OF THE HEART" & "FROM UP ON POPPY HILL" next please!!!
