Porco Rosso
Porco Rosso
In Italy in the 1930s, sky pirates in biplanes terrorize wealthy cruise ships as they sail the Adriatic Sea. The only pilot brave enough to stop the scourge is the mysterious Porco Rosso, a former World War I flying ace who was somehow turned into a pig during the war. As he prepares to battle the pirate crew's American ace, Porco Rosso enlists the help of spunky girl mechanic Fio Piccolo and his longtime friend Madame Gina.

Porco Rosso is awesome. It's a bright and colourful adventure into a world of seaplane pirates and a half-pig man. Porco Rosso is my new favourite Ghibli movie. Full of adventure, commaradarie and the warm glow of romance.
Porco is quite literally overflowing with charm in a way that only Studio Ghibli can achieve. Set in the early days of Fasscist Italy, this film contains everything you could want, Arial Combat, Engineering, Evading fassicsts, Proffesional rivalries, friendships new and old and honour among thieves.
I highly recommend you give this film a try.
