It's just that perfect mix of real life and fantasy that Miyazaki can always pull off, Just like how no one thinks anything of Kiki flying on her broom. This movie captures a nice feel of japanese school child feelings, the pains of growing up, and the want to be independent of that system. It's not as much of a fantasmagoria as Howl's or Spirited Away, but the mundane life tasks are just magically portrayed and the story builds nicely throughout..
Plus, it introduces the storyline that later turns into The Cat Returns, which is just so beautifully meta that once you've seen both, your mind will just go HNNNNGGGOHMYGAWDYES. I've always loved Miyazaki's ability to make strong female protagonists, and talking cats ;)
TL;DR: IS GOOD MOVIE, 10/10 WOULD WATCH AGAIN. AND AGAIN. AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.
PS - you can get every single movie for 35$ (what I did)

Sounds like the kittens have good taste.
Unkle D is an old meanie & likes to inflict AWESOME taste upon her minions. If they enjoy watching movies, I would totally get this Studio Ghibli box set. It's not primes, but i got mine in less than a week, i think 4 days.
They're so enchanting and empowering for girls & not the usual princessey type movies. There's a film in there for everyone. I watch these movies every day. The set is a little, um, bootleggey, arrr. But for kids, and for me, and for the price, who cares. If yr not into that, i'd suggest getting them one of the Miyazaki films. I gave the set to my nieces & nephews for xmas (ages 2 - 10 & adults too). They all love at least one of the movies. Muahhhaa!!!
Here's my breakdown. I'm listing the appropriate age to FIRST see the movie. Cos i still watch these every day & i'm, um, 47.
