Review: I saw KiKi's Delivery Service many years ago, shortly after my daughter was born.  I remember sitting there one morning while the kids were sleeping with my wife and I tuned into it on digital cable.  I'm not much on anime, per say, but this one seemed really well done.  It turns out..that it was!

The synopsis pretty much says it all, but the voice acting from Kirstin Dunst was phenominal as Kiki.   I had heard about the film since the early 1990s, but I'd never had the chance to see it.  The film was really cute and a lot of fun.  Its accessible for adults, but very appropriate for kids.

This film has been out on VHS and DVD for many years, but now this cool 2-disc DVD gives us a Studio Ghibli film / Disney release!   This includes an introduction by the great John Lasseter.  Its clear that we can thank him for these cool new anime releases, including Ponyo, 2-Discs of Kiki, My Neighbor Totoro and Castle in the Sky, which we will all be reviewing later this week. 

This is a great option for any adult or child animation fan!
