It came in good condition and had no scratches on the dic and was unopened still in the plastic wrap. Plus there was a mini booklet thing that came with it for free and was so cute. What the booklet explained is why porco turn into a pig and a directors statement. It was a fun movie to watch and Hayao Miyazaki did an amazing job like always.

Pigs Fly as Engines Whir!

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2020

Verified Purchase

A portly hero flies into your heart.

Hayao Miyazaki’s romantic aerial adventure anime Porco Rosso (1992) is a surprisingly pleasant watch from the master director of anime epics. Porco Ross flies by for 94 quick minutes thanks to Hayao Miyazaki and Takeshi Seyama’s sharp cuts within dog fights and brief encounters. I never thought I’d see a pig fly outside of a Pink Floyd album cover, but Porco Rosso sends a pig up in the air with stylish fashion and a pretty red plane. Porco Rosso is a cool character, aimlessly surviving life’s twists and tragedies by forgetting as the wind hits his face midair. He is a remarkable pig. As Porco says, “A pig that doesn’t fly is just a pig.” Hayao Miyazaki’s direction is as engaging and entertaining as any of his beloved anime pictures.

Miyazaki’s writing for Porco Rosso is fascinating as he simultaneously tells the tale of when pigs fly by virtue of an Italian army pilot scarred by the sheer volume of pilots dying around him during the wars, then cursed to appear as a pig. But, as Porco says, “I’d rather be a pig than a fascist,” so he remains on the run from Italian Secret Police. It’s a charming story that feels like a whimsical animated version of an old film noir complete with a subtle romance between our enigmatic hero and his femme fatale. He balances the mystique of Porco’s past and inner longing for love with a narrative about ace pilot Porco Rosso collecting bounties on sea pirates harassing ports and cruises for treasure. I like that Porco befriends his new engineer Fio as well for some added humor and adventure.

Porco Rosso is a wondrous film that once again captures Miyazaki’s well established love for aeronautics with his numerous flying machines in a majority of his pictures. Seeing all the phenomenal hand drawn animation from Studio Ghibli for all of Porco Rosso’s aerial combat sequence is very impressive with planes weaving in and around one another as bullets shoot everywhere like hail from the bluest skies. Mark Henley and Atsushi Okui’s cinematography utilizes heavy amounts of far wide shots to keep your eyes on the action in the air with the occasional close-ups for character emotion translated to the audience. Porco Rosso just looks amazing with these bright reds on the plane and Fio’s hair, plush pinks on Porco’s pigskin, and lush blues for the ocean seawater.

Joe Hisaishi’s score is triumphantly exciting to contribute to Porco Rosso’s sweeping epic nature, but also playful for all the comedic bits scattered around like the wind through Fio’s hair. Hisaishi’s music has long caressed Miyazaki’s films with a warm tone and loving gracefulness and Porco Rosso is no exception. Kazutoshi Sato’s sound design is excellent with flares of noise for explosions, whirring sounds for bullets just missing planes, and thunderous jolts for plane engines firing off. Katsu Hisamura’s production design is beautiful for the oceanside diner, every seaside port, and even Porco’s secret cove hideaway.

Michael Keaton’s voice is perfect for the pig ace pilot Porco Rosso. His deep voice is serious enough to be believable as an experienced wartime flying pilot. He makes Porco’s every word carry weight with Keaton’s commanding presence and dark gravitas. I like his pig noises he throws in to ensure Porco is also funny alongside his straightlaced pig pilot persona. Susan Egan is stunningly perfectly cast as Gina. Her sultry voice is full of longing and loss that feels comparable to Keaton’s dour Porco Rosso voice acting. I really enjoyed the bright and fiery vocal performance from Kimberly Williams-Paisley as Fio Piccolo. Her perky personality and passionate delivery about plane engineering are convincing as the ever astute optimist Fio.

Cary Elwes is excellent as the annoying American antagonist pilot Donald Curtis. He is cocky and sexist enough to be loathsome and an apt opposite to Porco’s charming nature. Although, Michael Keaton pulls off Porco’s sexist comments about Fio’s well, so that he feels likable by the end still. Brad Garrett’s sea pirate captain Mamma Aiuto Boss is very funny and expressive. Lastly, David Ogden Stiers is excitable and energetic as Fio’s Grandpa Piccolo.

In all, I simply adored Porco Rosso’s cute comedy and playful heart. You can tell that Miyazaki’s love of planes and honorable fights scorches Porco Rosso with a heartfelt tenderness like Porco’s plane engine exploding.

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2017

A normal movie with a character who has been cursed to be a pig would focus the plot on that. A normal movie set during the Italian Civil War would focus the plot on that. A normal movie set during the Great Depression would focus the plot on that. This is not a normal movie, those are just background stuff barely worth mentioning. This is a story about a middle-aged man overcoming his own self-hatred and renewing his faith in humanity by being exposed to kindness. At least that's what I got out of it. On a less metaphorical note, it's a story about a pilot being shot down, building a new plane, and having a rematch.

Also there is a character named Donald who wants to be President of the United States, which is hilarious in hindsight.

One star because the way Studio Canal is handling the steelbooks.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

So if you collect Studio Ghibli steelbooks the Uk ones are made by Studio Canal there are 22 official studio Ghibli films
up to now there have only made 13 (and The Red Turtle but this isn't a official studio Ghibli film)

So that leaves 9 films with no steelbooks however there is also the Italian steelbooks which cover ones studio canal has made including the other 9 Studio Canal still need to make
1991 Only Yesterday
1993 Ocean Waves
1994 Pom Poko
1999 My Neighbors the Yamadas
2010 The Secret World of Arrietty
2011 From Up on Poppy Hill
2013 The Wind Rises
2013 The Tale of the Princess Kaguya
2014 When Marnie Was There

The issues is Studio Canal don't see to communicate there's no page on there site detailing there steelbooks when they came out or when there releasing new ones so when new ones are coming, for me i only found out about Porco Rosso
when looking at deals on Ukhotdeals so how many year are we going to be waiting for the other 9 to be released if ever, clearly there not interested in sells so why not just make the rest us collectors are trying to complete are collection and seeing the Italian versions don't have the same style of steelbook and the fact there's no English dub only the original langue and Italian.

Studio Ghibli Reviews 3: Porco Rosso

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 25, 2014

Verified Purchase

Not only was this the highest-grossing Japanese film in 1992, but it holds a very special place in the heart of its creator, Hayao Miyazaki. As well as being a master filmmaker, Miyazaki has always had a special passion for planes. He even named his studio after an Italian fighter plane from the Second World War - although the pronunciation of 'Ghibli' is a little different. Miyzaki's love of planes also went on to inspire his final animated film 'The Wind Rises' (2013), which is about the life of Jiro Horikoshi - a famous WWII plane designer. 'Porco Rosso' was such a pleasure for Miyazaki to create that he even considered doing a sequel to it - which would've been the only sequel ever made by Studio Ghibli. But although such a sequel was never made it really wasn't necessary for there to be one. 'Porco Rosso' is one of Hayao Miyazaki's greatest works and is considered a valuable addition to the Studio Ghibli collection.
The story is about Porco/Marco, an ex-war pilot turned bounty hunter, who is cursed into having the appearance of a pig. Porco earns his living by flying the skies and foiling the schemes of sea-plane pirates, whilst trying to avoid the Italian government, who are out to get him for abandoning the Air Force. His bounty-hunting business comes under threat when an American pilot turns up and forms an alliance with the pirates to take him down. Now Porco has to tune up his plane and face his new rival in the ultimate dog fight.
As far as the story goes, it's quite interesting in general, with a good mixture of action, fantasy, romance and humour. The settings in it are also really beautiful and give the audience a true sense that they're witnessing an Italian-themed movie. Plus, although there are some adult themes contained within it (e.g. war and violence) they are managed quite well, making it a pleasurable movie for both kids and adults to watch.
If there's anything I'd have to criticise about the story, however, it would be that there are some parts of it which feel a bit weak and incomplete by the movie's conclusion. In particular, its never really explained how or why Porco was cursed into becoming a pig - he just is a pig, who used to be human, and that's what makes the story a fantasy. There are also several side-stories which serve almost nothing to the main plot, and some characters don't have enough screen time to develop properly. In fact, the ending to the movie itself feels a little open-ended, despite explanation of what happened after the climax. Nonetheless, the movie is still fun and interesting for all the family to watch.
For me, what's powerful about 'Porco Rosso' isn't so much the story itself, but some of its meanings. I find that whenever I watch an anime - even if the main character is male - I focus more on the female leads, because there is so much more that can be done with them. When I watch 'Porco Rosso', I find that my focus is more on Fio. In one part of the movie, Porco is reluctant to allow her to help with his plane because she's a young woman. But she proves that she has impressive skills, and is able to do a fine job of improving his plane. She even turns out to be a valuable ally when it comes to dealing with enemies. She is just one of many strong female leads presented in Studio Ghibli films, who seem more valuable to the story than any of their male counterparts.
Another message presented in the film is one that is universal. Fio asks Porco what makes someone a true professional. He admits that it's not experience that matters, but intuition. What this means is that all you really need to succeed in life, is to have enough passion for what you want to do, and have the skills to do it well. This message was even given back to Hayao Miyazaki himself when he was against his inexperienced son, Goro, directing 'Tales of Earthsea' (2006).
One final thing that's worth mentioning about Porco Rosso are some of the voice actors in the English dub. Amongst these actors are some that have supplied their voices in other Studio Ghibli English dubs, such as Cary Elwes ('Whisper of the Heart'/'The Cat Returns'), Susan Egan ('Spirited Away') and David Ogden Stiers ('Spirited Away'). There are also others like Frank Welker and Kevin Michael Richardson.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of Studio Ghibli and wants to see a prime example of what they can do to make a movie so great.
My next Studio Ghibli review will be on 'Pom Poko'. Stay tuned.

If pigs could fly....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 17, 2012

As a recent convert to Ghibli films and someone with an interest in early aviation, this was a must-have DVD. Whilst films like "Totoro" are clearly aimed at kids, this film is an odd mixture. The opening sequence where the children are kidnapped by pirates is rather cutesy and there seems to be an obvious borrowing of the character Bluto from Popeye. However, the film then relocates to a bar at which point the references quickly change tact and this appears to be a re-imagining of "Casablanca" with our hero being a wise-cracking re-working of Humphrey Bogart complete with raincoat and cigarette. The arrival of a brash, American rival to challenge Porco Rosso also serves to raise the bar somewhat above a typical children's film and the film's conclusion certainly re-emphasizes this fact. There is also a moving scene where the planes of pilots killed in dogfights during World War One are seen ascending towards heaven which might not be suitable for younger children. As with all Ghibli films, the images are extremely striking, well drawn and full of vivid colours.

All in all, this is a very ambiguous film. As per usual with Ghibli, it is the girl engineer, Theo, who transpires to be the most favourable character and another woman, Gina, the most sympathetic. Children will probably not pick up on the references to an earlier generastion of Hollywood films and will simply enjoy the action sequences, especially whee the planes are involved. There is a lot of humour although some of the wisecracks seem at odds with an animation film and the scenes at the workshop where the new planes is designed and built are a highlight in this respect even if some parents may be scratching their heads at remarks about the size of the girl engineer's butt! The section of the film concludes with a hairy take-off sequence along a series of canals and is the highlight of the film for me.

Beautifully illustrated, this is not necessarily a film for children but the story is enjoyable even if there are scenes of fighting which probably are a bit more realistic than the usual Tom & Jerry type scrap. Older children will enjoy this as will adults but probably best avoided for the very youngest.

Thrilling, moving and beautiful to look at...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 20, 2005

Get over the curious fact that the hero of this story is an Italian WWI aviator curiously transformed into a pig and you won't fail to be amazed by 'Porco Rosso'. It's another Studio Ghibli classic and equal to any of their other movies including 'Spirited Away'.
Porco Rosso (Crimson Pig) is a bounty hunter living in the Adriatic in the 1920s. He makes a living by flying his superb seaplane fighter and combatting the local air-pirates (also flying seaplanes) whilst admiring (from a distance) the woman he secretly loves (Gina). Again, don't get hung up on the pig thing: this is a mature and effective plot with some hard hitting political subtleties if you look closely and some spot on historical facts. The animation is first rate (as always with Ghibli) and some of the backgrounds are masterpieces: look closely at some of the framed paintings in Gina's room for example.
Where 'Porco Rosso' really shines is in the air. The flying sequences are truly exhilirating and Messers Spielberg & Lucas don't come close (really!). As always this is clearly a labour of love and art not commerce.
Oh: do me a favour and watch the subtitled Japanese version. You know it makes sense... :-)

Unleash the pig! This is a definite 'grower', having viewed it twice now. The stock Ghibli figures from other animations are readily recognisable here, and some of the animated work on show here is beautiful. It is a tail of flying, of sea pilots and of sea pirates who are also sea pilots. There are clear nods to other films and cartoon characters, notably Brutus from Popeye.The ending is curious - you will either embrace it or find it infuriating, but there is plenty to enjoy as you go along for the ride. If you - like me - are a sucker for Ghibli films, then this is a no-brainer.
