About this listen

“Since Jiji talks, can we get him to demystify the cat and biscuit making industrial complex once and for all?”

- Krishna on Kiki’s Delivery Service (5 golden slippers)

The heartwarming story of the world’s first Uber driver (or should we say, flyer?) and her plans to take a small town by storm with nothing but her witty sidekick, a truly sickening pair of flats and a dream. In Kiki’s Delivery Service, our girl Kiki runs, flies and crashes her way through that peculiar transition between childhood and adolescence. At a mere 13 years old, we witness her experiencing loneliness, burnout, excitement, love, and friendship all wrapped up in a magical 102 minute animated film. In this episode, we discuss the sometimes bittersweet joy of watching Miyazaki as an adult, the impact of Japanese animation on Hollywood and the maddeningly beautiful port city of Koriko.
