Porco Rosso (1 viewing)
After deeply enjoying Spirited Away , I quickly wanted to see another from Miyazaki and the Studio Ghibli crew. This tale about a pig humanoid sea pilot is more grounded to a simple story than the engrossing Spirited Away , but the same dream world principles apply making for another immensely entertaining , visually pleasing , animated film.
Breathtaking dog fights over the ocean , quickly you understand the thrill of being a pilot. Marco (the pig guy) sets out to rescue fifteen kidnapped girls from the warm hearted sky pirates , he shoots their plane up but doesn't kill anyone : his policy is to live and fly. He's blessed with the talent of flight and the love of two women , one a widower of two pilots with a beautiful singing voice and the other a plane mechanic who Marco takes under his wing.
Richly colorful in the air and on the ground , it's drawn images take you away to a world where mostly anything is possible. Animation is the perfect way to create a fantasy setting and this is the motto of filmmakers. I highly recommend this to anyone seeking quality escapism , my interest in this director and animation studio has skyrocketed.
