Line 68:
* [[The Hecate Sisters]]: Kiki in her new life befriends and learns from a young artist, a mother-to-be, and an elderly lady. Given that Miyazaki studied enough Greek mythology to name a prior heroine [[Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind|Nausicaa]], this is probably intentional (even though the trope does not occur in actual, genuine Greek myths, only in modern interpretations of them.)
* [[Hero Stole My Bike]]: Or mop, since Kiki didn't have a broom handy. This occurs at the climax, where {{spoiler|Tombo is hanging from the ''Spirit of Freedom''. She finally finds a reason to fly, and asks for a broom. The owner initially refuses to give it to her, but Kiki takes it anyway. When the news announcement that Kiki saves Tombo comes, he remarks "That's my broom!"}}
* [[I Am Not Pretty]]: Kiki says this when Ursula wants her to model for a painting. Ursula convinces her that it's not true, and Kiki agrees to do it.
* [[The Law of Conservation of Detail]]: Averted through most of the film. It's the attention to detail, of things which don't matter but simply add realism, that elevates this past normal animation into a lifelike picture.
