I didn't like this movie the first time but that's because I wasn't expecting just how slice of life it is. This is a slow and simple movie where not much happens, and that's what I grew to adore about it. There's a scene with a giant dog and a small cat which seems like an obvious set up for shenanigans, but nothing comes of it because this just isn't that type of movie. It's more quaint. The animation is my favorite in my movie (the backgrounds during her first flight!) and the music is lovely as well. Kiki is a subtle character, and the audience isn't let in to everything she's feeling, and I sometimes wonder if she understands her own emotions. The ending montage/song is extremely charming and always makes me happy.
