Kiki's Delivery Service ( Fan re-dub)
Project Overview
MORE ROLES ARE BEING ADDED
I am highly interested in re-dub the English version of Kiki's Delivery Service, mainly because the newer release doesn't have all the original lines in it and I wanted to re-add them. I also thought it would be a fun project!
Kiki's Delivery Service is a Japanese animated film by Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli. It came out in 1989.
Must have a clear-sounding mic. You'll also need to join the discord server to turn in lines and for any announcements that happen about the project.
PLOT:
As is traditional for trainee witches, thirteen-year-old Kiki leaves home with her black cat named Jiji, with whom she talks. She flies on her broomstick to the port city of Koriko. While searching for somewhere to live, Kiki is pursued by Tombo, a geeky boy obsessed with aviation who admires her flying ability.
In exchange for accommodation, Kiki helps Osono, the kindly and heavily pregnant owner of a bakery. She opens a "Witch Delivery Business", delivering goods by broomstick. Her first delivery goes badly; she is caught in a gust of wind and drops the black cat toy she is supposed to deliver. Jiji pretends to be the toy at the recipient's house while Kiki searches for the toy. She finds it in the home of a young painter, Ursula, who mends and returns it to Kiki so she can complete the delivery and rescue Jiji.
Kiki accepts a party invitation from Tombo, but is delayed by her work and, exhausted, falls ill. When she recovers, Osono clandestinely arranges for Kiki to see Tombo again by assigning her a delivery addressed to him. After Kiki apologizes for missing the party, Tombo takes her for a test ride on the flying machine he is working on, fashioned from a bicycle. Kiki warms to Tombo but is put off by his friends' teasing and walks home.
After seeing a recipient's negative reaction to a delivered gift, Kiki becomes depressed and discovers she can no longer understand Jiji, who now spends more time with a pretty white cat. She has also lost her flying ability and is forced to suspend her delivery business. Ursula visits her and suggests that Kiki's crisis is a form of artist's block and that if Kiki finds a new purpose, she will regain her powers.
While visiting a customer, Kiki sees a live news report on television of an airship accident. Tombo is hanging precariously from one of the drifting vessel's mooring lines. Kiki rushes to the scene and rescues him by flying a borrowed broom, regaining her powers and her confidence. She resumes her delivery service and writes home to say she and Jiji are fine, but that there are still times when she feels homesick.

Kiki is strong-willed, leaving her home in Karikiya for a year at 13 years old in order to become a train as a witch. She is very friendly, curious, sweet, and upbeat, however is rather stubborn at times and proud, which is sometimes to her disadvantage. She is very attached to her pet black cat, Jiji, and introduces him as her best friend. Kiki is not ever so popular after her first arrival as she is viewed as a bit of a show-off, but gradually makes new friends with her customers and is the heroine of the film at the end.
*In an angry tone and spoken quickly*
"Thank you for getting me out of trouble, but I really shouldn't be talking to you, and you wanna know why? It's very rude to talk to a girl before you've been introduced and before you know her name. Hmph!"
*Timid and hopeful*
"Jiji I've decided not to leave this town. Maybe I can stay find some other nice people like Osono, who will like me and accept me for who I am."
*Excited*
"Well, I really only have one skill and that's flying, so I thought, a delivery service wouldn't be a bad idea."
*Medium/deep pitched voice*

*Excited*
"Miss, wait up! I sure fooled that cop huh? Hey, that was me yelling thief, you'll be okay now. Worked out pretty good huh? You gotta be a real witch, the way you can fly that broom. Do you think you can teach me how to fly it?"
*Hopeful*
"I'll take this please, okay?" *pause* "Aw, c'mon, you're not still mad at me are you? Listen, we're going to have a huge party at the club tonight. It's called the aviation club. And we'd really like for you to come. Here's your invitation."

She is a kind and gentle old woman of whom Kiki first meets when she phones for her to deliver a herring pie to her granddaughter's birthday party. Due to her electric oven breaking, she is unable to make the pie an offers to pay Kiki for her time. Instead, Kiki helps her make it using a wood-fire oven and does some odd chores around the house before delivering the pie in the rain. However, Madame's granddaughter expresses no gratitude for the pie, which upsets Kiki.
Later, she shows her thanks by making a cake for Kiki and offering to make her another one for her birthday. Her kindness brings Kiki to tears and she promises to return the favor.
"My, delivery time already? Come in dear. Please make yourself right at home."
"Mmhmm... oh my, what a pretty witch you are. I'm so sorry, but that special treat you were supposed to deliver isn't ready yet." *pause* "I think there's something wrong with it. It has a mind of its own and doesn't want to heat up. It's old. Like me, it's seen better days. I was hoping you'd be able to deliver a dish to my granddaughter's birthday party. It's my specialty. Harring and pumpkin pot pie. But I must admit defeat."
