Thank you for such an insightful essay, Dan. Kiki’s Delivery Service is my most favourite movie from Ghibli Studio. My son and I watch it more often. I've also written a brief note on Kiki's Delivery Service. If you ever wish to read, do let me know. I'll message it to you.
Love love love this. Now I'm craving a rewatch. The cycle of creativity and burnout really makes sense for why Miyazaki always "retires" and then feels the need to create more. That conversation between Ursula and Kiki comparing painting to magic hits me just right. Great article and comparison to Miyazaki's creative process--I also need to watch that documentary!
(Also how dare they co-opt the sparkle emoji, that's one of my favs!!)
I just read Kiki's Delivery Service last month, and rewatched the movie over the weekend, and loved reading your analysis so much! Thank you for this <3
What a beautiful article, thank you! And great timing, I just watched this last night- I'd been meaning to watch it for years. I didn't know Miyazaki's story, so it was fascinating to learn how Kiki's story followed his own cycle.
