Movie: Majo no takkyûbin (1989)

“This is the story of a young witch, named Kiki who is now thirteen years old. But she is still a little green and plenty headstrong, but also resourceful, imaginative, and determined. With her trusty wisp of a talking cat named Jiji by her side she’s ready to take on the world, or at least the quaintly European seaside village she’s chosen as her new home. Written by Anthony Pereyra (hypersonic91@yahoo.com)”

Trivia: The name of Osono’s bakery, “Guchokipanya” is a Japanese pun made from the words “guchokipa” (Rock Paper Scissors) and “pan’ya” (bakery).

Goofs: Factual errors: The Disney dub refers several times to the airship as a “dirigible”, which is correct, but also as a “blimp”, which it isn’t; it is a zeppelin, a rigid airship with an internal skeleton that holds it in shape, not a blimp, which is basically a big helium-inflated balloon held in shape by the helium.
