Happy 30th Anniversary to Hayao Miyazaki‘s masterpiece, Kiki’s Delivery Service, released in Japan by Toei Company, Ltd., on July 29, 1989! Animated by Studio Ghibli and based on the 1985 novel by Eiko Kadono, the film won the Animage Anime Grand Prix prize and was the highest-grossing film in Japan in 1989. The first official English dub of Kiki's Delivery Service was produced by Carl Macek of Streamline Pictures for Japan Airlines' international flights. Kiki was portrayed by voice actress Lisa Michelson. This dub is only available in the Ghibli Laserdisc Box Set. Kirsten Dunst voiced Kiki in Disney’s 1997 English dub, released in 1998. This dub was also Canadian-American comedian and actor Phil Hartman’s last voice-acting performance (as Jiji) before his death in 1998 and is dedicated to his memory. The film was re-issued by GKIDS on Blu-ray & DVD on October 17, 2017.
