Encyclopedic overview
Porco Rosso (Japanese: 紅の豚, Hepburn: Kurenai no Buta; both lit. 'Red/Crimson Pig') is a 1992 Japanese animated adventure fantasy film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, based on his 1989 manga Hikōtei Jidai. Produced by Toshio Suzuki and animated by Studio Ghibli, the film was distributed in Japan by Toho, with music composed by Joe Hisaishi. The Japanese voice cast includes Shūichirō Moriyama, Tokiko Kato, Akemi Okamura and Akio Otsuka. Set in a stylized version of the interwar Mediterranean, the film reflects Miyazaki's long-standing fascination with aviation, European settings and early twentieth-century history.
The story follows Marco Pagot, an Italian former World War I fighter ace who now works as a freelance bounty hunter pursuing bands of air pirates operating over the Adriatic Sea. For reasons left ambiguous, Marco has been transformed into an anthropomorphic pig and lives under the name Porco Rosso (lit. 'Red Pig'). When a brash American pilot, Donald Curtis, is hired to defeat him, Porco is forced to rebuild his aircraft with the help of a young engineer, Fio Piccolo, while confronting memories of his past and the emotional isolation that followed the war.
