The perfect comfort film. There’s something so magical about this movie (pun intended) that feels like a warm hug and like everything will work out and be okay. Beautiful 2D animation, likeable characters, and a great score Few other scenes compare to Kiki first flying into the city with “A Town With an Ocean View” playing. Love this movie. I could watch this a million times.
