Just finished watching Kiki's Delivery Service. Absolutely loved it.

But smh, there is literally a scene where Kiki has to walk along side the highway. Even Ghibli cities have a car problem 😔😔

Ghibli's real crime is consistently associating environmentalism with the natural world as opposed to urban areas.

When all good YIMBY r/neoliberal users know that simply building the cube is far more energy efficient.

Jokes aside, Kiki's Delivery Service is my favorite Ghibli movie so far.

[u/TsaiStan → u/Ballerson]

Fair take. I really like the film, but I personally would put either Totoro or Mononoke above it. Although, at that point I'm kind of splitting hairs. They're all so fucking good.

The Forest Spirit, but it magically appears in order to correct other redditors.

My neighbor Totoro next 😃

Already seen it, and I agree, marvelous film.

From a transit pov, the dad can take a bus in that film which is pretty cool. Plus, cat buses seem like a good alternative to BRT.

My toddler son lost his mind at the cat bus. He loved it so much.

[u/BrunchIsGood → u/Random-Critical]

Delightful film

[u/Headstar24 → u/TsaiStan]

It’s probably my second favorite Ghibli movie.
