  • Plot Synopsis

    Porco Rosso (Michael Keaton), a pig, is a former World War I Italian flying ace in this animated fantasy. During the war was a human, but after his entire squadron was wiped out, he was mysteriously cursed with the head of a pig. In semi-retirement, Porco Rosso lives on a deserted island, but earns his living flying heroic missions in his red plane. He is kept busy rescuing the victims of air pirates and trying to find a way to regain his human form. Porco Rosso is defeated by an American pilot, named Donald Curtis (Cary Elwes), hired by the sky bandits, and his plane is damaged. Porco Rosso lands his damaged plane near Milan and engages an old mechanic named Piccolo(David Ogden Stiers), and Piccolo's granddaughter Fio (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) to repair his plane. Porco Rosso doubts that the pair can fix the vehicle, but Fio, aided by a group of local women, repair the plane, allowing Porco Rosso to seek revenge for his earlier defeat.http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/porco_rosso/ http://www.allmovie.com/work/porco-rosso-134907 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104652/plotsummary

    "It resembles in its best moments a fanciful version of Casablanca with a porcine Bogey in the lead."— Jeremy Heilman, Movie Martyr.comhttp://www.moviemartyr.com/1992/crimsonpig.htm

    "'Porco Rosso' may seem like a lesser work from the master Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki; it doesn't quite have the epic feel of his other films. Yet it's a film Miyazaki made for himself, to indulge his passion for seaplanes, and this personal enthusiasm comes through clearly."— Jeffrey M. Anderson, CombustibleCelluloid.comhttp://www.combustiblecelluloid.com/classic/porcoros.shtml
