Porco Rosso
Can a pig really fly?
In Italy in the 1930s, sky pirates in biplanes terrorize wealthy cruise ships as they sail the Adriatic Sea. The only pilot brave enough to stop the scourge is the mysterious Porco Rosso, a former World War I flying ace who was somehow turned into a pig during the war. As he prepares to battle the pirate crew's American ace, Porco Rosso enlists the help of spunky girl mechanic Fio Piccolo and his longtime friend Madame Gina.

Strange movie from 1992 out of Japan and studio Ghibli. Great animation as you would expect and the English dub that I watched was
ok. However at times it's very silly and childish and others there is some odd sexual innuendo and an entire storyline about the main character who appears to be in his 30's going after a 17 year old girl. There is also a lot of sexualization of this same 17 year old character. I found the entire movie a bit creepy to honest. It's even odder given all the girl power stuff alongside it. The story really isn't even that great in my opinion. I would say this definitely has woke feminism in it. The 17 year old female is constantly claiming she's discriminated against because she's a woman and she is said to be a better smarter worker than her brothers. The entire family that shows up to basically rebuild and engineer his airplane is all the women from the family. Even if you like studio Ghibli movies I would say this is one to skip.
