UK fans of Hayao Miyazaki's delightful classic witch movie Kiki's Delivery Service will be very interested to hear news about the special Kiki's Delivery Service 30th Anniversary Collector's Edition. Released by Studio Canal.
It's due out on Monday 16th December 2019.
The collectors edition includes:
The DVD and Blu-ray Doubleplay edition of the film.
The Art of Kiki's Delivery Service book.
Plus tons of extra goodies:
- Exclusive oversized 8.5' x 11.75' art cards.
- Exclusive 23.5' x 32.5' poster featuring original Japanese theatrical artwork from 1989
- Exclusive premium cotton Jiji tea towel. Yes, this isn't a typo, it's a very British extra for the UK edition.
- Exclusive recipe card set (of what recipes? We don't know).
- Exclusive embroidered sew on patch featuring the anniversary logo
The set comes packed in a oversized rigid box, with brand new exclusive artwork.
They'll be limited to 1,000 units and holographically numbered
The double play DVD and blu-ray set have already been released in the past, as has the artbook, but they haven't all been bundled as a set before this way. This set is just out in time for Christmas and is an Amazon UK Exclusive. It's priced at £75.
Alternatively you can get the DVD and Blu-ray double play edition for £14.00 Just the DVD for £11. The Art of Kiki's Delivery Service Hardcover artbook is available by itself for £25. So you could have the core content for £39, but without the lavish extras and tea-towel. It's worth it for the the tea-towel by itself to be honest.
We've also just covered news that the original book of Kiki's Delivery service is going to re-released in 2020.

Synopsis:
From the creators of SPIRITED AWAY and PONYO and in stunning high-definition comes the classic animation KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE.
"Breathtaking" Variety
"Delightfully entertaining... not to be missed" L.A Time
Adapted by Hayao Miyazaki from the children's book by Eiko Kadono, KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE is a beloved magical parable that will entertain girls and boys alike. It follows the fun filled escapades and new friendships of a young trainee witch, Kiki, who must leave her family on the night of a full moon to learn her craft.
With her chatty black cat, Jiji, she flies off to find the perfect spot in a faraway city where she must live for a whole year by using her magical powers. But Kiki is poor with potions and second-rate at spells. She befriends a bakery owner and instead, Kiki sets up a courier service, using her broomstick to deliver everything from pies to pets. At first with only her sarcastic cat for company, she soon discovers that she has more friends than she ever thought possible.
Featuring the voices of Kirsten Dunst, Janeane Garofalo and Debbie Reynolds, KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE showcases Studio Ghibli at their finest.
