Porco Rosso


IMDB
First time viewed: No
Current Release: No
Watched With: Amberly, Jordan

This is another Ghibli I haven't caught up with in a long time. The story of a Pig-headed (literally and figuratively) Italian pilot who defected the air force after the first World War to become an air pirate chasing bounty hunter in the some of the most beautiful landscapes ever depicted in animation. It's very pretty.

It's a simple little tale and one of their funnier titles speckled with moments of poignancy. There seems to be a lot of delightfully Misogynistic characters, especially one of the young girls, which is kind of surprising. But I guess this is set in early 1930's. Great to see again.
