Tiny Ideas Festival presents: Kiki’s Delivery ServiceU

Directed by Hayao Miyazaki | Japan | 1989 | 1h 44m | English Dubbed Version | Starring Kirsten Dunst, Janeane Garofalo, Phil Hartman, Debbie Reynolds

A 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.

Join us for family favourite Kiki’s Delivery Service with a themed craft activity! A relaxed movie screening with an accompanying make for children. Tickets cost £7 for adults and £5 for children (under-15). Presented as part of Tiny Ideas Festival (tinyideasoxford.com).

Plan your visit

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
