Mr. Miyazaki smooshes fantasy and history into a pastel-pretty yarn as irresistible as his feminism. Go to Full Review

One of Miyazaki's most impressive features! It is incredible how the film can blend fun with meaning, creating a rich text that is sadly overlooked by many. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
Porco Rosso is Miyazaki at his best, mixing visually pleasing shots of the Adriatic Sea locations with a story about an unlikely hero, a pig-looking bounty hunter who has run away from Fascist Italy and claims to only fly for himself. Go to Full Review

Chris S. @ChrIsMissing Oct 23 “I’d rather be a pig then a facist 🗣️🗣️” See more Kurt S Sep 21 All the good ones died, maybe i am dead and life as a pig is hell. God the truth in that statement. And then the ones of us that survived always have that thing that makes us different like a pig in a human world. I love this movie See more Noel L Aug 20 It was beautifully animated. Also a very sweet and family friendly adventure film. There's no one to hate or really even a antagonist which you don't see often in a film. See more Ryan H @RyGuy Jul 31 The animation was solid, but the plot was a little strange and at times cringy as it follows a fighter pilot whose curse turns him into a pig then becomes a bounty hunter of air pirates.
