Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Mr. Miyazaki smooshes fantasy and history into a pastel-pretty yarn as irresistible as his feminism. Rated: 4/5 Dec 22, 2011 Full Review Empire Magazine It's solid Miyazaki, although he has reached greater heights both before and since. Rated: 3/5 Feb 1, 2006 Full Review Carson Timar ClapperCast 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. Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Clotilde Chinnici Loud and Clear Reviews 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. Rated: 4.5/5 Sep 14, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review It’s colorful, innocent, bright, and most importantly romantic in the most expansive capacity of the word. Rated: 4/4 Aug 22, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy A rambunctious comedy. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 18, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Noel L 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/20/25 Full Review Ryan H 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/31/25 Full Review Giovana L É legal,mas obviamente os demais filmes do Studio são melhores. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/20/25 Full Review Stephen C Success in 1.5 hours!!!!!!!!!!! In Japanese and American English audio options with American English subtitles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/25 Full Review Mark J Not quite the breadth of story or heart of other films. Did still look good, have strong characters and manage to be fun and a bit devastating at the same time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/11/25 Full Review Lucas O Rating: 76%. Beautiful Animation per usual with Ghibli films. The soundtrack and voice acting (English) were both wonderful. The plot was interesting, although the pig thing was kinda weird but gave it some uniqueness. It was perhaps a bit predictable and slower than most Ghbili films. However, it still entertained and had comedic moments, so I still enjoyed it enough to give it a decent rating. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Read all reviews
