1992 – 1 hr 34 min – PG

In this fantastical comedy, renowned Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki convincingly fills the role of the classic Hollywood leading man with an anthropomorphic pig. Set in 1930’s Italy, PORCO ROSSO focuses on the titular swine, an ex-WWI flying ace who now spends his time as a bounty hunter chasing down “sky pirates.” Though he seems to have little faith left in the world after his experiences in the war, Rosso’s tough facade begins to crack after he forms a friendship with a young mechanic. In Japanese with subtitles.
