Porco Rosso (DVD, 2005, Contains Special 2004 Star Voice Talent)

This film is an exelent film from Miyazaki. Fun for all the family to sit and enjoy... A Must have for any filmmaker!

I love this movie. I borrowed it from a friend of mine a year ago. But when it was the time to see her again and return the dvd, my sister returned it to the library by accident. This is why i needed to buy it. It is a great movie. Full of excitement and humor.

I saw this when i was younger loved it then and love it now. I love the director and the style is amazing. It is very funny too. If you have kids they will love this movie, if you don't have kids you will love this movie.

I love Miyazaki, always creates unique stories. Great for kids and adults! I love the design of the planes, each one. It was one of the better Studio Ghibli films I think.

The movie i recived was in great condition. The movie itself was awesome. an instant classic. If you havent seen it i suggest you do

What I like about the movie is that it has been directed by Hayao Miyazaki who has directed a lot of Japanese Animation. He has done a quite a lot of movies that the young and old would like to see. Me for example. I fall into the old category. But I do still love to watch a great animated movie.

I received this DVD within a week after I purchased it. The description said the condition of the DVD was like new and might have minor scratches. The DVD itself actually contained no scratches at all and the cover and insert were practically in mint condition. I would buy again.

fast and easy, just what an internet purchase is supposed to be. fast and easy, just what an internet purchase is supposed to be. fast and easy, just what an internet purchase is supposed to be. fast and easy, just what an internet purchase is supposed to be. fast and easy, just what an internet purchase is supposed to be. fast and easy, just what an internet purchase is supposed to be. fast and easy, just what an internet purchase is supposed to be.

This is an excellent movie! My child loves it and watches it over and over again. Be sure to see it first (go rent it or get it at your library) since everyone has their own idea as to what their children should and should not watch. I believe this movie is fun and has a good story for children to follow, my child laughs often while watching it and sees it from start to finish! Hope you enjoy it!

Very enjoyable with recognizable movie star (English) voice-overs - and more refined than Porreo Rosso version with generic dubbing. Among the more entertaining story lines from Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki (IMHO) ... and we must acknowledge Walt Disney Studio for it's part in support/release.
If you're a fan .... Porco Rosso is a must have.

A brief summary wouldn't do the film justice. When someone told me it was about a pilot, who is also a pig, I just didn't get it. I had no interest at all. Then I learned it was a Miyazaki film. Now it had my attention. And no one told me that the pig pilot was also a bounty hunter whose main target was air pirates! Okay, so it still sounds weird, but it really is a great film that I'll definitely be revisiting at some time.
One of Miyazaki's earlier works, Porco Rosso surprised me with beautiful animation. I know I shouldn't underestimate any Miyazaki film, but the fact that this was one of his earlier(for me, anyway) works had me leery. There was no need for concern, though, as I never felt that the film seemed dated in any way. I usually watch my anime in the original Japanese audio, but decided that since it boasted 'extraordinary voice talents', I gave the English sound track a spin. It was okay, with the exception of the pig himself. Just sounded out of place for some reason. Can't quite place my finger on it. Other than that, though, the film is indeed extraordinary. Then again, when is a Miyazaki film not?

Porcco Rosso was an instant classic with my family, the animation is superb! And the characters are fun! Parents be warned though, there is a boxing match in witch Porcco and Curtis, in witch they both get pretty beat-up. All in all though, great movie!

Porco Rosso is another addition to the Miyzaki legacy.being the case i thought that this would be another great film but it turned out to be disappointing. it didnt really do it for me. even though it was lacking some of his other movies spark, i stil think that this film is one to buy.

This is a wonderful movie that is suitable for all but the youngest viewers. Miyazaki once again gives us a strong young female character, Fio, but she is in a supporting role rather than the lead. At 17 she is also a little older.

This is a fantasy set shortly after WWI in the Mediterranean. Porco is a veteran pilot who was somehow transformed into a piglike being during the war. Air pirates would use planes to capture ships and loot them. Porco Rosso was hired by the shipping lines to protect their vessels. The opening action sequence is exactly that. The pirates then bring in a hot shot American pilot to take care of Porco so he won't bother them any more. Tex does just that when he comes across Porco who trying to limp his plane back home after encountering mechanical difficulties.

Porco ships his plane to an old craftsman in Italy to repair his plane and it is the Old Man's tomboyish grandaughter (Fio) who is the one who actually repairs the plane. Fio then accompanies Porco back to the Mediterranean so she can monitor how well the changes she made to Porco's plane actually. Unfortunately, the pirates discover Porco's lair and capture him and Fio. Fio uses her charm to convince the of the air pirates, who looks remarkably like a buff version of Popeye's antagaonist Bluto, that he should permit Porco and Tex settle their differences in an air duel.

The ending is a protracted air and land fight between Porco and Tex. The absolute ending of the movie is a bit of a let down, but I won't spoil it for you.

This movie is not as wonderful as Howl's Moving castle or as delightful as Kiki's Delivery Service, but it is am outstanding addition to the Miyazaki repertoire. Highly recommended.

I bought this movie for my boyfriend to add to his collection of Studio Ghibli movies. It's a great movie and I really enjoyed it.

We bought this because we like all his other movies...It didn't let us down..If you like Castle in the Sky and Howl--you will like this....

The characters and animation in Porco Rosso are awesome. As usual with Hayao Miyazaki films, the scenes with flying machines are wonderful. A great plot and animation that I will enjoy watching over and over again!

I was very pleasantly surprised by this movie-the story line was great, the graphics were very beautiful, and it was very funny. I loved Spirited Away which is why I bought Porco Rosso. Set during WWII, a fighter pilot cursed with a pig's body, enters a competition with another pilot. There are planes, pirates, laughs, and a love story-everything that is needed for a great movie!

cute movie, we are huge miyazaki fans, what a talent he is, this is our 8th film, waiting for #9 (nausicaa) to arrive.

i love the way how fast it was ship. and good communication. the dvd was excellent
shape like it was said. i would buy from this buyer again because he makes eBay a safe place to buy thing and most important make me fill comfortable to know that there are good people with good business values. i would recommended this buyer to anyone.

Funny, witty and action packed movie. A little too grown up for my 8 year old but i loved it. I'd recommend it to Anime fans anywhere.

If you liked Spirited Away or Nausicaa, you will like Porco Rosso. There is a lot going on in this film, the hero being a "pig" who was an Italian sea plane fighter pilot in the first world war. The animation is beautiful and most of the characters will look very familiar to Miyazaki fans. The soundtrack is very nice, too.

Bought this for my father who had seen a rented copy of it with us and loved it. Was a journey back to his days in WWII and flying. Animation is very good. Plot is fun. Would recommend it.

Thank you so much. I had fun with this DVD. It is difficult to get Miyhazaki's DVD here. I'm glad to see this here.
