Aro Recommended Porco Rosso

 

aka: Kurenai no buta
Japan 1992, 93 minutes
Dir. Hayao Miyazaki
In Japanese with English subtitles
Genres: Family / Anime, Adventure

Topics: Aviation, Period 1920s, Studio Ghibli.

 

Aroview: A world weary pilot, with a pig's head, protects shipping on the Adriatic from air pirates in the wake of World War I.

Although not one of his defining works, this is a typically imaginative adventure from Miyazaki. The animation and design is extraordinary, as always, and his flying fetish is explored beautifully.
