* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: Because of some of the parallels Ursula makes comparing her art to Kiki's magic, magic can be seen as an allegory for art, with Kiki's illness and depression being art block (or actual illness and depression that prevents one from doing their craft), and the joy of regaining one's desire to do art.

** Relatively minor example; the beginning of the film, where Kiki abruptly decides she has to leave that very night because it's a full moon. Her father is dismayed because they'd made plans to do something together before she left, and she blows him off with a hurried apology. This can come off as harsh to viewers who are unable to spend time with their own fathers anymore.
