Miyazaki's Autobiography---Even a Pig Can Fly
From a fan and student of Miyazaki-san: "Porco Rosso" is the master's most autobiographical work, for once he was not trying to impart any moral or environmental lessons to children or young girls or the Japanese society, as most of his other works did---but a heartfelt fantasy projection of himself (being an independent agent neither belonging to your typical Japanese...

A mediocre movie with Miyazaki's name
I'll cut to the chase and say that I'm not a Miyazkiholic. There is no Miyazaki shrine in my closet, and I've yet to take a pilgrimage to Japan to see studio Ghibli myself. That being said, I enjoyed Nausicaa and Mononoke. This, however, I did not. It's not that it is all a loss... it's just that I don't find this nearly as good as everyone else seems to. It two major...

Miyazaki's Autobiography---Even a Pig Can Fly, Jui 29 2004
From a fan and student of Miyazaki-san: "Porco Rosso" is the master's most autobiographical work, for once he was not trying to impart any moral or environmental lessons to children or young girls or the Japanese society, as most of his other works did---but a heartfelt fantasy projection of himself (being an independent agent neither belonging to your typical Japanese Anime Industry or the Hollywood/Disney American Culture juggernaut, as symbolized by the brash American Pilot-Fighter, Curtis). It's also a celebration of his fellow frustrated romantic and idealistic adults (many tired Japanese salary men and animators) who have not completely surrendered their youthful dreams to the MAN/military industry. Set in Post WWI Europe, where Fascism was on the rise, the Continental world it captured was a last breath of fantastic and natural freedom before a long darkness set in... The genius stroke here is by turning the protagonist into a PIG, a whimsical yet literal mockery on those old-fashioned/outdated all-male/brotherhood chauvinist melodramatic adventure genre it so lovingly appropriates, and a gentle dig on "mankind" in general, all in good and slightly surreal fun.
In this story, Miyazaki made fun (instead of preaching to) of his society, himself and his prominent role in it. Yet, behind all the cartoony surface lies the touching elegiac sadness of a lost past and a yearning hope (placed esp. on a young female) for a better future, straight from Miyazaki-san's cynical/sentimental heart. Presented as a light-hearted lark only makes its immersing nostalgia and lyricism all the more spontaneously enchanting
and unexpectedly affecting. A magical paradox of his great art. "Porco Rosso" is the "Casablanca" of cartoons with a touch of Roald Dahl, and the most under-rated and overlooked of Miyazaki's fabulous work.

My favorite Miyazaki too . . ., Jui 27 2004
Par Un client
I agree with the other reviewer who mentioned this was the favorite Miyazaki - I love Porco even more than the popular Mononke and Spirited Away. You can't go wrong with any of this masters work - but Porco has beautiful aerial scenes, well-developed characters and the soundtrack is superb. The detail in the planes and other mechanics can be more impressive artistically than nature-only scenes.Although our protaganist is a man (okay, turned pig), Miyazaki's tradition of strong female characters continues in this film through with both the "love interest" and the marvelous plane mechanic.

Brilliant entertainment, Jui 4 2004
I have seen the original Japanese edition of this one only, but it was great! It is set in the 1920s Italy. Boat planes roam the air. Some are pirates, some are bounty-hunters, some are just plain adventurers, some are Italian Air Force pilots. They are all united in a form of brotherhood. The leading pilot is Porco Rosso, a man turned pig. Why he his turned pig is never really explained. It is hinted that he instead of dying in a dog fight with his friends, he was turned into a pig to live on for a while more. It is all very nicely made, and works almost to the end. Almost, in the end it is hinted, again, that he returns to being a man, and dies. Why is not really clear, because there has not been any katharsis or redemption. That is my sole complaint of the film.
The animations are fantastic, the imagery vary between highly childish to just as highly evocative.

Something particularly for the romantic adventurers, Jui 3 2004
So, it's finally going to happen. Here's hoping that the people at Disney do the original version some justice..... by leaving it alone!! My family and I have watched a bootleg copy that was given to us of this film on DVD for the last couple of years. While the subtitles are sometimes a bit hasty posted to read, repeated viewings have helped to make this a very enjoyable film. It has also slowly become a sort of cult favorite with us. The ending is particularly poignant. As a guy with a soft spot for genuine romance and a passion for adventures, particularly those involving older aircraft, this film really leaves it's mark. My entire family look forward, eagerly to seeing the new release for American audiences.Also, comparing this film to other films by this director and storyteller is silly. Miyazaki is a versitile creator, capable of involving many types of storytelling and animation techniques and story pacing to tell a wide variety of stories on film. For those who think this is a kids film, it is not, no more than Casablanca is a kids film. They can watch it and probably will enjoy it but this is not "My Neighbor Totoro" or "Kiki's Delivery Service". Comparing it to them is not relevant regarding the story's content or the animation. Do people let their little ones watch "Princess Mononoke" because it's an animated feature? I certainly hope not. "....Mononoke" deserved it's PG-13 rating and "Porko Rosso" deserves it's PG rating for reasons regarding content.

Is it as good as the original release?, Mai 23 2004
I am a region4 customer so have not reviewed the revised DISNEY version on DVD but am reviewing the original versions for your information/comparison.
The original English version was masterful. While no expert on the director's work or ANIME I have a broad knowledge of film/animation. The story is for romantic adults but is also safe and entertaining for children. It is fanciful in that the central character is under a spell/curse (he has not suffered a tragic accident) but aside from this the story is set in a semi-real world unlike films such as 'Spirited Away'. It is a story of complex, adult friendships and love. It has an air of 'Casablanca' to it.
The animation is beautiful, and is a treat for aviation buffs dreaming of the barnstorming days.
The original music score is good and sets the right 'atmosphere' for the film.I hope the re-working has not removed the soul of this excellant film, and I do not understand why it was even done.

Favorite Miyazaki Film, Mai 7 2004
I'm probably going to be in a minority in naming this my favorite film, better even than Spirited Away or Princess Mononoke. It's different from most of Miyazaki's other movies, in that the protagonist is middle-aged and most of his character development is subtle. It pays off in a tone that is considerably more adult than anything Miyazaki has done before or since - regardless of the slapstick air pirate sequences.One of the other reviews here says Porco has become a pig due to a "tragic accident." As far as I can tell, he became a pig because he was disgusted with humanity; whether he did it to himself deliberately or whether it just happened seems ambiguous. For my money, Porco's description of his near-death experience during the war is one of the best scenes ever animated. I should note here that I've only seen a Japanese version, with somewhat poorly synchronized English subtitles. I don't care about the dubbed version at all, in fact. (There is a French language version with Jean Reno as Porco. That would be worth seeing.)

ONE OF THE LESSER KNOW OR SEEN, BUT..., Avril 23 2004
And its a big one. This film was conceived original to be aired on JAL (Japan Air Lines). Mr. Miyazaki intended this film to appeal to the tired japanese businessmen coming home. It is also something of a personal project. He has always loved airplanes and this film was a way including it in one of his works.I find no fault with any of the other reviews here. But you should remember that his other films were intended for a broader group of veiwers, Kiki's delevery service for example. If you liked or loved any or all of Miyazaki san's films then get this one. Its well worth it.

Even a weak Miyazaki film is still a masterpiece., Avril 2 2004
Alternately known as THE CRIMSON PIG, this film was the highest grossing movie of 1992 in Japan, beating out Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and Steven Spielberg's HOOK. It's even popular to this day with animation buffs and fans. But I'm going to take an unpopular stand and say that I was actually disappointed by this film. Sure, it's as gorgeously animated as Miyazaki's other films, the story is well told, and Joe Hisaishi's music is fabulous as always - but PORCO ROSSO ended up being my least favorite Miyazaki movie for various reasons. For one, it lacks the adventurous spirit and imagination of NAUSICAA, CASTLE IN THE SKY, and PRINCESS MONONOKE and doesn't have even half the whimsy or charm of KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE and MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO nor the surrealness of SPIRITED AWAY. Instead, it concentrates on telling an adult-oriented story about a disgraced World War I air pilot turned into a pig because of a tragic accident. A rival pilot is competing with him for the love of a lovely nightclub singer who entertains folks at the Hotel Adriano; later, Porco is befriended by a young airplane engineer whose romantic crush on the pilot slowly makes him look beyond his self-loathing. I don't consider this kind of tale a bad thing; after all, it is important for one to explore more than one genre, but the overall film is not as memorable or magical as Miyazaki's other movies. Part of the problem, too, is the characterizations, which are not as well fleshened out or sympathetic. I'm sorry, but I didn't remember any particular character that I found myself liking by the end of the movie. Perhaps it is because PORCO ROSSO just didn't cut it for me, or maybe I've been spoiled by Miyazaki's other films, but I consider this movie to be the weakest of his works. That said, it is still a very good film, with much to marvel at (not to mention laugh with); the artistry is breathtaking, especially the ripples of the water. Such effects can be found in KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE, and the flying sequences where we see Porco Rosso in his plane are beautifully painted and layed out. If there's anything about PORCO ROSSO that is likely to be remembered after an initial viewing, it must be its visual graphics and music, and not necessarily the story or characters. But despite such quibbles I have, even a weak Miyazaki movie is still worthy of my highest rating, as it's better than a lot of the worst movies out there. It's about time this movie was finally released in America, too. Ever since 1996, Disney had obtained the rights to this film (along with Miyazaki's other works), but plans of an English dub never surfaced until SPIRITED AWAY won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film. Produced by the same folks responsible for its equally fantastic English language track (longtime fan John Lasseter and scripters Donald and Cindy Hewitt), this upcoming English version is set to be yet another first-class dub on a Miyazaki masterpiece from the Mouse House. The voice cast includes Michael Keaton (an odd choice for Porco Rosso, but I'm gonna give the guy some credit), Susan Egan (Gina the barsinger), Cary Elwes (Donald Curtis the rival pilot), Kimberly Williams-Paisley (Fio the young engineer), David Ogden Stiers (Fio's grandfather, Piccolo), and Brad Garrett (not sure what role he's playing). I have yet to see this dub (I previously saw it subtitled at a museum in New York), but given that I've been spoiled by just about every dub Disney has made for Miyazaki's films (even though some folks dislike the dubs for various reasons and would rather watch them in Japanese; but that's their preference), I have no reason to doubt that it will be every bit as excellent as the ones they've done before. I will update this review when I obtain my copy of the DVD. Meanwhile, however, I have to say, if you're a Miyazaki fan, then go for it. Even if I don't consider this movie one of his best, you're inclined to disagree and, as mentioned, even Miyazaki at his least is still highly recommended; you could definitely do a whole lot worse by missing out on such a less memorable but still fabulous film.

why here?, Juil 6 2004
Why should I buy Kurenay no buta on Amazon Canada? First of all becouse it is not in the catalogue of Amazon France. But why in France, or in Canada? Isn't it better to purchase such merchandise in Japan or Corea? There you can find the better anime DVD, so what can you find more in this store? There is something in the French version that the same Hayao Miyazaki thinks to be better than the one in the original version: the french track. As the Great Master Miyazaki himself says, the french actors perform even better than the japanese ones, and more, whose voice is the Great Kurenay no Buta? It's Jean Reno's! That's why every Miyazaki's fan forgets Japan, Corea, States and every other place and runs on french or canadian Amazon, full of hope. Please, I will try again and again. Fullfill our hopes.
