Porco Rosso Review – A
The film is about Porco Rosso, a human who was somehow turned into a pig. He’s a pilot and a bounty hunter and takes down bad air pirates. He’s known as Porco Rosso (“Crimson Pig”) because of his famous red plane.
This is an incredibly fun movie. I loved every minute of it. The idea is creative, it’s well paced and the characters feel very human and are likable. I even took a liking to Fio, who is definitely my least favorite member of the cast. For Ghibli standards, it’s surprisingly not too fantastical. But that’s definitely not a bad thing.
- Plot: A – Entertaining and well constructed.
- Characters: A - Porco is an awesome protagonist.
- Art: A – Pretty darn good for cel animation.
- Music: A – Another great Hisaishi soundtrack.
- Enjoyment: A+ – It’s such a fun movie.
- Overall: A - Definitely one of my favorite Ghibli films now
