Doug (vo): Everybody's gonna have a film that just connects with them for some reason they can't entirely explain. For many, that movie was My Neighbor Tortoro. For me, it's Kiki's Delivery Service. In a sense, they're very similar, not a lot of story, not a lot of action, just sort of a laid back setup with a touch of the supernatural. But for some reason, this really grabbed me and hooked me a lot more than My Neighbor Tortoro did, and that's especially impressive when you're given the age that I saw it. I was a junior in high school when I first saw this, and I didn't want to see any of this prissy stuff. "What? A little witch with a big bow flying around, not casting spells, but instead, delivering bread to people? Oh, come on! Give her a machine gun or something, or a stupid high schooler! That's what I want to see!" But even with that prejudice going in, I saw this on TV and...surprisingly kept watching it. Even for as cutesy and simple as it was, something about it just really drew me into it, to a point where at the end, I found myself really loving it.
