Studio Ghibli's 1989 film Kiki's Delivery Service will screen in IMAX theaters nationwide from June 19 as a 4K digital remaster. Two new poster visuals accompany the release, which offers enhanced clarity and sound for the classic story of a young witch finding her place in a new town.
Hayao Miyazaki's 1989 film Kiki's Delivery Service returns to theaters on June 19 as a 4K digital remaster, this time on IMAX screens nationwide. The remaster sharpens the detail of Kiki's expressive face, Jiji's movements, and the European-inspired townscape, with the larger screen and clearer sound intended to create an immersive experience. Two new poster visuals were also released: one shows Kiki's back as she looks down at the town on the full moon of her departure, and another captures her curiosity and anxiety. The film, based on Eiko Kadono's children's book, follows 13-year-old Kiki as she leaves home with her cat Jiji to train as a witch. It was Studio Ghibli's first major box office hit and remains one of its most beloved titles. The IMAX run is a limited engagement.
