From the legendary Studio Ghibli, creators of Spirited Away and Ponyo, and Academy Award®-winning director Hayao Miyazaki, comes the beloved coming-of-age story of a resourceful young witch who uses her broom to create a delivery service, only to lose her gift of flight in a moment of self-doubt.

Like other films from Ghibli, the visuals are gorgeous and worth a watch just for the animation and care, but that storyline is... mehhh. It's a 13 year old witches' coming of age story where she tries to find her way in the world in a new town and that's kind of it. This would be fine alone but the studio decided to add some additional drama towards the end that feels unnecessary also Kiki's inconsistent attitude towards others is weird. Super nice to most, but incredibly rude to one nice boy?

I absolutely adore this movie. It’s one of my favorite Ghibli films. Despite that, I hate this dub. This is not the dub I grew up with, so while watching I keep noticing lines that were replaced or just taken out completely leaving behind an awkward silence. So to those who grew up with a particular dub in mind I suggest renting before buying so you don’t have my same experience.

This is not the original version with the Sydney Forest music , or the comical script lines with Jiji from the 2003 release. Not unless you don't mind buying the edited version on how Ghibli envisioned it at first. But I would recommend watching that in Japanese. Still an incredible film but I prefer the old original english dub version.
