Title: A Dip into Self Doubt, then Triumph
Product review: Thursday, June 16, 2005 / 5 of 5 / A Dip into Self Doubt, then TriumphRounding out my viewing of early Miyazaki films prior to Princess Mononoke I arrived at Kiki's Delivery Service. Once again an original compelling idea from the great mind of the director. As a young witch coming of age, she sets out to find and make a town her own at the age of 13 along with her talking black cat. Unlike many of the earlier films this one shows a much more pensive and unsure side of a Miyazaki heroine. She has moments of self-doubt and loses her confidence in herself and her craft. Lovingly crafted, the flying scenes are again magical even with just the simple sound of the flapping of her black dress. No villains in this one, just a sweet story of a young girl trying to be all she can be and the town she adopts loving her back in Pollyanna style. Highly recommended.
