1989 film Kiki's Delivery Service (魔女の宅急便) in Pittsburgh, June 11, 12, 14.


The 1989 film Kiki's Delivery Service (魔女の宅急便) will play in Pittsburgh on June 11, 12, and 14, part of this year's Studio Ghibli Fest.
Celebrate this beloved coming-of-age story from the legendary Studio Ghibli, creators of Spirited Away, and Academy Award®-winning director Hayao Miyazaki, about a resourceful young witch who uses her broom to create a delivery service, only to lose her gift of flight in a moment of self-doubt.

It is a tradition for all young witches to leave their families on the night of a full moon and fly off into the wide world to learn their craft. When that night comes for Kiki, she embarks on her new journey with her sarcastic black cat, Jiji, landing the next morning in a seaside village, where her unique skills make her an instant sensation. Don’t miss this delightfully imaginative and timeless story of a young girl finding her way in the world[.]
It plays locally at the AMC Loews Waterfront, Waterworks Cinema, and the Cinemark theaters in McCandless, Monroeville, and Robinson. Tickets are available online; please note, some shows are dubbed in English while others are in Japanese with English subtitles.
