* LimitedWardrobe: Justified. Witches may wear only black once they start their training.[[labelnote:*]]Somewhat confusingly, the Japanese word for "black" also covers certain shades of dark purple, which is the actual color of Kiki's dress. In the original Japanese, Kiki comments that her dress is the same color as her cat. The line was changed for the Disney English release.[[/labelnote]]

* DoggedNiceGuy: Tombo is an geeky kid who keeps trying to become friends with Kiki, even as she angrily brushes him off. Part of it is because she thinks he's being rude by pointing out her being a witch, when in reality he admires her a lot and [[InnocentlyInsensitive is just really bad at showing it]]. She eventually warms up to him, as she realizes he's genuinely nice and interested in her ability to fly (which she never thought of as anything special).

** A minor example regarding Kiki's design. Artwork from the original book shows Kiki with long, flowing hair. Miyazaki gave her a bob cut for the film adaptation because short hair was easier to animate. Her original haircut is referenced on the sign outside the bakery.

Added Captain Obvious example

Added DiffLines:

* CaptainObvious: Some of the extra lines in the original version of Disney's dub simply have the characters point out what they're looking at. Lampshaded by Jiji, who gives a snarky response to several of Kiki's comments on the city when they first arrive.
--> '''Kiki:''' Jiji, look at all the cars!\\
'''Jiji:''' Yes, lots and ''lots'' of cars.

** The redone GKIDS sub retranslates most of the script, though it takes occasional lines from the Disney dub.

** The redone GKIDS sub retranslates most of the script, though it takes occasional lines from the Disney dub. A noticeable example is that the sub still doesn't mention the name of Kiki's first customer (Maki), which is spoken aloud in the Japanese audio but omitted from both of the dubs.

** The weather throughout the movie is... temperamental, to say the least. Every clear night forecast ends up being wrong, with Kiki being caught twice in unexpected rainfall, both times with big consequences for the plot. The weather is noticeably overcast when Kiki arrives at Madame's mansion for the first time, and sure enough, it rains once she leaves. There's also seemingly random gusts of wind, like when the geese warn Jiji during the first delivery. This foreshadows that [[spoiler:the dirigible will be caught in unexpected turbulence]].

* IKnowWhatWeCanDoCut: Kiki has dropped the stuffed cat she needs to deliver in a nearby forest, and the angry crows living in the forest won't let her come back for it. She needs a way to buy time, so she tells Jiji "there's only one thing we can do..." Cut to Jiji in the stuffed cat's place, much to his displeasure.



* TheLawOfConservationOfDetail: Both played straight and averted.

* UngratefulBitch: After all the trouble Kiki went through to get Madame's dish to her granddaughter, namely spending a long time helping bake it and then flying in the rain, she is rather unconcerned with the fact that Kiki is sopping wet and is not the least bit happy to receive one of her grandmother's pies. Worse, once the delivery is made, she closes the door without so much as offering Kiki a chance to dry off. Suitably, Jiji is incredulous at this lack of consideration.

The granddaughter reappears later on and recognizes Kiki -- she and her friends talk about her in a positive tone, though their gossiping frustrates Kiki enough for her to storm off.
