One of Maestro Hayao Miyazaki's most internationally beloved films comes out at last on DVD! Kiki turns thriteen, and it's time for her to fly away from home to find a city to settle in and to learn what to do with her witches abilities, and to find her niche in life. In other words, the city and the world will be her school, instead of Hogwarts like in Harry Potter's world. Animation or not, it's one of the best movies ever made that can be enjoyed by both kids and adults alike. It's amazing that a film totally devoid of violence and villains can be so exciting and heartpounding, but that's exactly what Miyazaki creates in films like this and Totoro, which by itself is simply... magical!
