Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring the production phase, Hayao Miyazaki and his artists traveled to Sweden to research the film. The photographs they took of Stockholm and Visby formed the basis of the fictional city of Koriko. The city also contains elements of Lisbon, Paris, San Francisco, and Milan.
- GoofsThe four-engined biplane (more precisely, sesquiplane) that Kiki sees during the opening credits is a real aircraft, the Handley-Page HP42. Eight of these planes - the first four-engined aircraft ever built - were commissioned during the 1930s; later they were converted to military use, and all were destroyed by 1941. But since this movie - according to director Hayao Miyazaki - takes place in a world where World War II never happened, it's plausible that the HP42 would still be in civilian service.
- Crazy creditsThe denouement scenes of the film play out with the credits rolling ending with Kiki's parents reading a letter from her after the credits finish.
- Alternate versionsA new English dub of this film was released in 1998 by the Walt Disney Company. This version featured the vocal talents of Kirsten Dunst as Kiki, Janeane Garofalo as Ursala and Debbie Reynolds. Phil Hartman provided the voice of Jiji in one of his final roles.

Featured review
fantastic.
i've only seen the dub, but I must say this movie is superb, fantastic, wonderful and worthy of all the praise it gets. it's heartfelt, funny, and all in all a wonderful movie. the plot, characters, everything about this movie is perfect. it makes me feel oh so good when i watch it. I honestly see nothing wrong with this movie, not a thing. it's quite possibly the greatest coming of age story ever. This movie is too damn good for a review written by me out of complete bordem, so i'll end it by saying if you can a copy, dub or subtitled, rent/buy/steal it. i don't think you'll be disaponited. So go on and get a copy before I beat you. GO NOW.
