My Review-

Although I had to skip some scenes due to the fact the DVD I recieved from Netflix was scratched, and being my first Miyazaki film I liked it a lot. I was going to watch it in Japanese, until I realized that the late and great Phil Hartman was one of the voice I decided to watch the English version. Also being one of the first Japanese animated movies that I have ever seen, I was bummed out that I had to miss a few scenes because of the stupid DVD. However I did watch a majority of the movie and got the story of line of Kiki and her story about her going into a new town for her witch training, and i can see why Miyazaki is always acclaimed for his work, in his animated films, a few of which I would like to watch, and I am going to watch. The hero of the film Kiki is made to be very well liked, right from the minute that it starts, and I felt that away about her character. I believe in the future I will watch this movie again in Japanese dub, and I'am glad that this movie was recommend to me by some friends like some of the other movies on this list.
