Kiki (2020, CGI Prequel)

Kiki (French title: Kiki, la petite fille devient sorcière; Japanese: 魔女の時代, Hepburn: Majo no Jidai, (instead of an original title): キキ) is a 2020 animated dramedy fantasy adventure film directed by Alexandre Heboyan and produced by Toshio Suzuki from Japan. The film is a few co-productions such as Wild Bunch, Studio Ghibli, On Animation Studios, and TMS Entertainment and the Miyazaki's likely childhood CGI and prequel/spin-off/reboot to the 1989 animated film Kiki's Delivery Service. Described as a "fantasy drama version" of the 1982 Don Bluth's classic The Secret of NIMH, it tells the story of Kiki, who save Dora's pneumonia, a curious witch must seek the aid of a senior witch, Rhonda, and the boy, Cristuph, with whom she has a deeper link than she ever suspected.
The film is unrelated to Kiki's Delivery Service coming-of-age sequels, a sequel to the true stories by Eiko Kadono, although a prequel, was created without Eiko Kadono and Yamato Transport's support or input of the original film's director Hayao Miyazaki. The film is unrelated to the six books of Kiki's Delivery Service, the novel sequels to the six books on which the original Miyazaki's film was based. It was also the most less-inferior prequel compared to any other prequels/sequels based on Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli movies. Miyazaki expressed his disapproval with the decision made for it. It was rated PG, unlike its predecessor, which was rated G (for the original as well until the 4K comes likely as The Secret of NIMH). Eiko Kadono and Yamato Transport expressed his disapproval with the decision made for it.
