• The Abridged Series: Kiki's Delivery Service: The Abridged Movie
• Freeze-Frame Bonus: All the double-decker buses in the film belong to the Ghibli Bus Company.
  • Similarly, the box of pancake batter on Kiki's table says "Jiburi no Hot Keki", "Jiburi" referring to the studio which made the film.
• Hey, It's That Voice!: The Streamline dub had Wendee Lee as the senior witch. Disney later cast Kirsten Dunst as Kiki, Phil Hartman as Jiji (the film is dedicated to his memory) and Janeane Garofalo as Ursula.
• Product Placement: In the original Japanese title "Majo no Takkyūbin" (instead of the generic "Majo no takuhaibin"); the word "Takkyūbin" is trademarked by Yamato Transport for their door-to-door delivery service, and was used by Hayao Miyazaki with the company's permission. (A North American equivalent might be the title "Kiki's FedEx Service" instead of "Kiki's Delivery Service".)
• Production Throwback: See Freeze-Frame Bonus.
  • At one point, an animal that looks like Totoro can be seen on TV, and one of Kiki's customers looks like an Expy of Gina from Porco Rosso, except with red hair.
  • In the beginning of the film, there is a plushie toy of Totoro on Kiki's bed.
