The long wait is finally over! The film's
official website has been updated today with the first trailer for Shimizu Takashi's live action
Kiki's Delivery Service. Everyone's beloved little witch (played by Koshiba Fuka) is back and appears more dazzling than ever. Apart from exploring the setting from the previous teaser, this time we can also catch a glimpse of her fantastic adventures. The film looks rather cute, colorful, and pleasant but there's definitely too much green screen and CGI here as well, what in the long run might prove to be its biggest problem.
Kiki's Delivery Service isn't based on the 1989 Studio Ghibli picture, but on Kadono Eiko's series of children's fantasy novels. Both fans of the original anime and avid readers of the the books should get excited about this version, as it will surely bring back a lot of fond memories.
Th film will have its Japanese premiere March 1, 2014. Check out the trailer below!
