" Madame, the picture is back!"

Behind the Scenes[]

According to Hayao Miyazaki, "(The Madame) was a widow in the script, but Kiki really isn't mature enough to offer solace for a lonely woman. The 'odd couple' setup with another elderly woman (Barsa) solved this problem. I thought the sequence would work better to illustrate how Kiki makes friends."
