More than just a fun action movie

"A pig who doesn't fly is just a pig."

Porco Rosso is a lightweight but very enjoyable movie from Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. But it isn't just a pleasant way to pass the time; a serious story about love and responsibility hides amongst the derring-do and spectacle found here, and (as should be expected in one of Miyazaki's works) assertive women are in abundance in the cast. And there's no twist ending, either.
