Aero Theatre (Santa Monica, CA)
He’s the Walt Disney of Japanese animation. In fact, film critic Roger Ebert suggested that Hayao Miyazaki may be the best animation filmmaker in history. He’s now in semi-retirement, but his films continue to thrill millions. Bring the family to an afternoon screening of Kiki’s Delivery Service at Santa Monica’s Aero Theatre. It’s the beloved story of 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’s tradition for all young witches to leave their families on the night of a full moon and set out into the wide world to learn their craft. When that night comes for Kiki, she embarks on her life journey with her chatty black cat, Jiji, landing the next morning in a seaside village, where a bakery owner hires her to make deliveries. Rarely has the animator’s art been so brilliantly rendered as in this delightfully imaginative film — a beautiful and timeless story of a young girl finding her way in the world.
