Line 62:
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Justified. Witches may only wear black once they start their training. (In the Disney version, this was changed to purple.) Kiki only has one dress for the entire film. She comments that "lilac would look prettier on me", but her mother assures her that the black dress is just as pretty.
* [[Lying on a Hillside]]: The film opens with a scene where Kiki is laying on the grass outside with a radio. Bees are buzzing and flowers are swaying in the wind.
* [[Magical Girl]]: ''Kiki's Delivery Service'' is probably the last thing that comes to any fan's mind when they hear the word "magical girl", but this is still a magical girl anime. Kiki is empowered with supernatural abilities (flight), and uses it to help the people around her. Along the way, she meets friends, her powers makes her life complicated, and she's a studio mandated [[Plucky Girl]]. She meets all the requirements for being a magical girl!
* [[Moral Guardians]]: Concerned Women for America boycotted the movie during its 1998 US debut because the protagonist is a witch and witchcraft is ''evil'', ignoring that it's a lighthearted family film about a young girl finding her way in life and that witchcraft only plays a minor role in the film.
* [[Motorcycle on the Coast Road]]: A propeller-powered bicycle, actually. Passerbys laugh at the bicycle, but that doesn't stop Tombo from cycling at high speeds.
