GKIDS is bringing the 4K remaster of Kiki’s Delivery Service to IMAX theatres across Canada this March. The 1989 Hayao Miyazaki-helmed adaptation of Eiko Kadono’s novel of the same will screen in the big format for the first time. Disney originally released the film in North America in 1998 before GKIDS acquired the rights in 2017.
Kiki’s Delivery Service was directed by Miyazaki from a script he penned with Nobuyuki Isshiki. Joe Hisashi composed the score.
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 town, 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, featuring the voices of Kirsten Dunst, Janeane Garofalo, Phil Hartman, and Debbie Reynolds.
The film will open on March 13th with previews the night before. It will be screened in Japanese with English subtitles and with an English dub.
