MCT:October 4, 2008in somewhat the same vein as Kiki's Delivery Service, this Miyazaki film relies more on European roots and quasi-realism than Japanese fantasy and mythology. a great spin on the wartime action movie, being both charmingly funny and sharply dramatic. the music is pretty good too. great entertainment for all ages.

In what is probably Miyazaki's most unusual film to date, PORCO ROSSO tells the story of a disillusioned pilot who is cursed to live his life as a pig unless he can conquer his self-loathing. Much more slowgoing than Miyazaki's other films, this movie is geared more for grown-ups rather than children. But even having said that, PORCO ROSSO has a lot to make it worth "classic" status. The animation, as always, is top-notch, with breathtaking flight sequences and a believeable cast of characters, my favorite of which is Fio, a bright young engineer whose love for Porco plays a crucial part in their relationship. In addition to which, the English voice dubbing, as with Disney's other releases for Miyazaki's films, is fantastic, with Michael Keaton turning in a surprisingly good performance as the weary, yet stalwart hero of the piece. Kimerly Williams-Paisley, however, takes the prize for "best acting" in the dub as Fio, the engineer; she brings a lot of energy and heart to the role and the chemistry between her and Keaton is a delight. Even better yet, the Japanese language track is included for purists and the French language track, which Miyazaki personally approved over his original cast.

I liked this film I don't think that children would like this film as much. It's just a great story and is very interesting to see how it plays out.
