Kiki's Delivery Service [DUBBED]

Kiki's Delivery Service is showing at Barbican Cinema 2 on Saturday 17 October, as part of the Barbican's Family Film Club. It's the English-dubbed version of the Studio Ghibli classic, which first came out in 1989, directed by Hayao Miyazaki and based on the book by Eiko Kadono.

The story follows Kiki, a thirteen-year-old witch who leaves home to find her place in the world, travelling by broomstick with her talking black cat, Jiji. Along the way, she sets up a delivery service and picks up lessons about kindness, community and growing up. The Barbican describes it as "Ghibli animation at its best", and it's got a BBFC U rating, with a suggested age of 6+.

It's part of the Family Film Club, the Barbican's regular cinema strand for young children. They screen a film every week, and they do it without ads, which is a nice touch when you're out with kids. They also run Parent and Baby screenings for under-12-month-olds on Saturday and Monday mornings. The club is popular and often sells out weeks in advance, so it's worth booking early if you're planning to go.

The screening starts at 11:00 at Barbican Cinema 2, Beech Street, London EC2Y 8DS. Tickets are £9 for one adult and one child, with under-18s at £2.50 and 18 and over at £5, plus a £1.50 transaction fee.
