Porco Rosso or ''Kurenai no Buta'' / 紅の豚, which roughly translates as "The Crimson Pig" or "The Red Pig",
The film tells the story of a renowned Italian fighter pilot, a veteran of the First World War who has been mysteriously transformed into a pig. During [[The Great Depression]], Porco Rosso, the 'Red Pig' makes his living as a mercenary, flying a crimson seaplane and doing battle with pirates. Things really start to get interestig for Porco when the pirates, tired of having their butts handed to them by a pig, hire Curtis, a famed American aviator, to take him down. Pursued by the Fascist military he deserted years ago, Porco gains a teenage sidekick, Fio, and takes the fight to the pirates. What follows is an epic journey of self-discovery and general {{badass}}ery in the great Ghibli tradition. It's got all the hallmarks of a Miyazaki movie; strong women, flying machines, air-pirates and an undertone of the supernatural. ▼

* [[Acoustic License]]: Played straight and averted. Sometimes, people communicate plane-to-plane via morse code, as they did in real life. Other times, they simply shout, which in real life would have been impossible.
* [[Affably Evil]]: Curtis, and even [[A Lighter Shade of Grey|"evil" is debatable]]; he's more of just [[The Rival]] to Porco as a pilot and [[The Lady's Favour|for Gina's affections.]]
