Porco Rosso

Sign in to edit

Porco Rosso (紅の豚 Kurenai no Buta) is a 1992 Japanese animated adventure film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. It is based on Hikōtei Jidai ("The Age of the Flying Boat"), a three-part watercolor manga by Miyazaki.

Synopsis

During the beginning years of the Great Depression, life in the Mediterranean has become difficult. Aerial pirate raids are gaining in frequency, thus requiring the need for capable "bodyguards". One of the best is a pig known as Porco Rosso. Once a human and an ace pilot during World War I, he now freelances his services to those in distress. The fascist regime that has taken over the Italian Air Force has grown tiresome of his exploits and places a bounty on his head. On top of that, a hotshot flyer from the United States arrives and not only wants to steal Porco Rosso's glory, but also the woman he loves so dearly.


Dubbing History[]

Porco Rosso was originally dubbed by an unknown company in Tokyo for Japan Airlines. It was supervised by Ward Sexton, who also starred as Porco. The dub was released on the 1996 Ghibli LD Box Set and the 2002 Region 2 DVD.

The film was later redubbed in 2004 by Disney, featuring Michael Keaton as Porco, and was first released on DVD on February 22, 2005.
