Porco Rosso Ratings & Reviews
- Katreina Edelweiss8 februari 2026Better a pig than a fascist.
- Scott Maddock20 januari 2026Includes some fun nods and nudges to some Hollywood tropes.
- Natalie Rhett11 januari 2026Absolutely fantastic movie if you ignore the misogyny
- LivewireAdmin6 december 2025Hayao Miyazaki never ceases to amaze me. Every one of his films feels like stepping into a dream that’s both whimsical and deeply human, and Porco Rosso is no exception. There’s something endlessly fascinating about how he can take such an odd premise—a World War I flying ace cursed to look like a pig—and turn it into a moving, funny, and surprisingly bittersweet adventure. Miyazaki somehow always manages to illicit tears from me. The world he creates here is so alive: blue skies, roaring engines, and the kind of sun-drenched Adriatic backdrop that feels like it’s been lived in for decades. Porco's island home is what dreams are made of! It’s romantic in the truest sense—nostalgic for a bygone era of flight and freedom, yet quietly mourning what was lost along the way. I think I was hesitant on this one because I wasn't sure what the story was gonna be and if I wouldn't be able to vibe with a pig pilot protagonist....so glad to realize my fears were unfounded. The characters are fantastic, each brimming with charm and personality, from the spirited Fio to the rival air pirates who are somehow both ridiculous and lovable. But it’s Porco himself who anchors everything—world-weary, self-deprecating, and oddly heroic. Michael Keaton’s performance as Porco in the English dub is absolutely perfect; he gives the character just the right mix of humor and melancholy. Also, it took me a second but I finally recognized Madame Gina was played by Susan Egan aka Meg in Hercules! It’s funny, it’s beautiful, and it’s quietly profound. Miyazaki captures that feeling of flight—both literal and emotional—better than anyone. This isn’t just another Studio Ghibli film; it’s one of his most effortlessly cool and deeply human works in their catalogue.
- TheAthas28 oktober 2025Totally underrated Studio Ghibli movie.
- mickerdoo20 augusti 2025Beautifully animated, unique subject matter and cool planes. Porco and Flo are easy to love. Fun pirates and cool dogfights.
- Lucas Craparotta27 mars 2025One of my top five Ghibli films, a great story, music, and atmosphere you wont leave disappointed ╰(*°▽°*)╯
- Denimbeard16 augusti 2025A masterpiece
- Richard3 augusti 2025This one’s pure charm. Set in 1930s Italy, Porco Rosso follows a former WWI ace turned bounty hunter, who just happens to be a pig. It’s whimsical, melancholic and quietly profound. Miyazaki blends aerial dogfights with soulful introspection, crafting a story that’s as much about identity and honor as it is about seaplanes and pirates. Porco is a fantastic lead, cynical, romantic and deeply human beneath the snout. Fio and Gina bring heart and strength and the Mediterranean backdrop glows with Ghibli’s signature warmth. Joe Hisaishi’s score wraps it all in nostalgia. It’s not a high stakes epic, but that’s the beauty of it. It’s a film that lingers,funny, thoughtful and quietly rebellious. I enjoyed it immensely.
- M08Y17 juli 2025Porco 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.
- milora113 juli 2025Whilst it isnt a traditional Ghibli movie (taking place in a real location, having an American character) It is probably one of the best put out there. If youre sleeping on it, watch it now and you will love it,
- Cubane23 juni 2025A tragically overlooked Studio Ghibli masterpiece. All the beautiful art and animation expected from a Ghibli flick, but with the story and characters to match. The English dub also features some very good VO, which is something of a rarity in anime.
