Kiki's Delivery Service/YMMV

• Adaptation Displacement: Very few people outside Japan realize that this movie is based on a book. The popularity of the film led to the translation of the book.
• Broken Base: Not the only Ghibli dub to receive such an atmosphere (Laputa: Castle in the Sky and My Neighbor Totoro also qualify), but many viewers can't seem to decide whether the Disney dub is a charming, entertaining experience or a watered down travesty of a great film. Purists strongly claim it is the latter (often stating that the Japanese version and the Carl Macek-produced Streamline dub is the ONLY way you should watch the film), but there are fans of the dub.
• Ear Worm: Love 'em or hate 'em, one cannot deny that the two added Sydney Forest songs are insanely catchy. You just may find yourself humming snatches of them weeks afterwards.
  • Chase the clouds from the ground in the big blue sky, don't wanna watch it all go by...I'm gonna fly!
  • When Disney rereleased the DVD, these songs were replaced with the original Japanese tracks. Much handwringing ensued.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Jiji abruptly ceasing to talk can be pretty chilling, knowing that it was Phil Hartman's final role before his murder.
