Kiki's Delivery Service (1989)

Recommended by Practica

Great vibes, great protagonist, great music and obviously some of the greatest animation ever produced. There are certainly Miyazakis that we're more fond of overall (Porco Rosso to name one) but this gem's story really speaks to what we're about.

At its core, Kiki's is about the struggle to maintain passion (mostly due to the pressures of a stressful working life) — which at least we've always interpreted as creative burnout. Something that we're always looking to fight against proactively by building systems that not only prevent it before it can happen but can allow for creation, inspiration and innovation to be prioritized wherever possible.

Kiki's Delivery Service

“I saw this for the first time last month with my five-year-old, two-year-old and husband and we were all enthralled. Kiki is charming and hopeful and bratty and kind, and you can’t help but root for her. The soundtrack is also really beautiful.”

“So beautiful and sweet. I like watching this as much as my kids. There is a suspenseful moment where someone is in danger of falling from a great height that might be stressful for sensitive kids, but it’s at the end and would be an easy thing to fast forward through.”
