Set in the 1930s, the film follows Porco Rosso (Shûichirô Moriyama), a talented fighter pilot who is turned into a pig by a magic spell. Adapting well to his porcine transformation, Porco sells himself out as a pilot for hire, until a big shot American flyer arrives, looking to make a name for himself by shooting down the Crimson Pig. With his feisty sidekick Fio (Akemi Okamura), Porco gets his battered plane back into shape for the big showdown. Review: Best of Miyazaki? - Utterly gorgeous to look at, with at least two of the most beautiful sequences of animation ever filmed. But also very funny, engaging, and thoughtful by turns. Plenty here for film fans of any age and persuasion, plotlines ranging from old-fashioned unrequited love (Gina and Marco) to adventure (Porco v. just about everybody else in the air), to political intrigue (secret police etc), but the main focus is less the story than the sheer romance of flying and rescuing fantastic machines amid wonderful scenery. When Porco tells Fio the story of how he came to be cursed - which is all a bit existential, not that that matters at all - it's perhaps the most poignant scene of any animated film: gently enigmatic, glorious to see, and just plain heartbreaking, all at once. I first saw the film just over 10 years ago, slightly intrigued by what all the fuss was about, and loved it straightaway. Since then I've watched it probably every other year. More surprisingly, despite plenty of competition from fine newer releases by Miyazaki, Pixar et al., my children adore this film it as much as ever (they were 5-ish on first seeing it, so 15-ish now and still wanting to see it) - that's quite a test of the Crimson Pig's durability. Miyazaki, on form, is arguably the best hand-drawn animator alive. Porco Rosso is among his very finest work. Review: One of the best Studio Ghibli films - I put off buying this until fairly recently because I'd wrongly assumed it would only really be enjoyed by men when in fact it's actually one for the whole family. All the characters, including the baddies are great fun, especially the unfortunate pirates tormented by the group of adorable schools girls kidnapped for ransom at the start of the film. The hero is Porco Rosso, a fearless air pilot whose face at some point in the past turned into that of a pig and who hires himself out for rescue missions, bounty hunts and the like, while spending much of his time with his 'close' friend, singer and hotel owner Gina. When local usurpers severely damage his plane, he travels to Milan with a young talented female mechanic in order to repair it, all while attempting to outwit the Italian secret police, air force and local pirates. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00ECVPOKE | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 1.78:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 11,294 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 4,473 in Blu-ray | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,069) | | Director | Hayao Miyazaki | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 5055201825889 | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 2.0), Japanese (Dolby Digital 2.0) | | Media Format | Blu-ray, PAL | | Number of discs | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 18.03 x 13.76 x 1.48 cm; 83.16 g | | Producers | Rick Dempsey, Toshio Suzuki | | Release date | 18 Nov. 2013 | | Run time | 1 hour and 34 minutes | | Studio | Studiocanal | | Subtitles: | English | | Writers | Hayao Miyazaki | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Hayao Miyazaki, Rick Dempsey, Toshio Suzuki - **Format:** Blu-ray, PAL - **Genre:** Animation, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Romance - **Language:** English, Japanese - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 34 minutes ## Images ![Porco Rosso Double Play (Blu-ray + DVD) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Me8-SxOIL.jpg) ![Porco Rosso Double Play (Blu-ray + DVD) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Y-0BkNfUL.jpg) ![Porco Rosso Double Play (Blu-ray + DVD) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91QqwA9D+4L.jpg) ![Porco Rosso Double Play (Blu-ray + DVD) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/919Q1OTP+1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best of Miyazaki? *by C***L on 18 January 2009* Utterly gorgeous to look at, with at least two of the most beautiful sequences of animation ever filmed.

All the characters, including the baddies are great fun, especially the unfortunate pirates tormented by the group of adorable schools girls kidnapped for ransom at the start of the film. The hero is Porco Rosso, a fearless air pilot whose face at some point in the past turned into that of a pig and who hires himself out for rescue missions, bounty hunts and the like, while spending much of his time with his 'close' friend, singer and hotel owner Gina. When local usurpers severely damage his plane, he travels to Milan with a young talented female mechanic in order to repair it, all while attempting to outwit the Italian secret police, air force and local pirates. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A rare delight *by S***E on 27 September 2010* Yet more proof from a master storyteller that anime is as high a form of art as any. This fabulously poignant and funny story contains many of Hayao Miyazaki's marks of quirky genius. It's about the life and loves of a seaplane pilot who has been turned into a pig and makes his living in the Adriatic as a bounty hunter, during the rise of Fascism in Italy. So what's so strange about that? After all, as he says, while he is calmly sorting through his sub-standard ammunition on the night before a Duel to the Death with his satisfyingly villanous arch-rival, "All middle-aged men are pigs." Unlike any other film in the world, and unlike the other Studio Ghibli films. An act of gratuitous creativity. Visually ravishing, but to anyone interested in animation and storytelling, this is a bottomless goldmine of expertise in every aspect of the art; timing, framing, characterisation, colour, background detail, you name it. Both Japanese and American voicework are flawless, though the Japanese version has some moments of true poignancy that were missed in the US version, which is slightly more facile in a couple of places. Every single character in the film is faultlessly animated, penetratingly observed, and funny. Every scene is worth seeing a hundred times. But the story itself, my dears, is just so plain inspired, teetering as it does along the brink of some fairly punchy taboo areas, but always with a delightfully clear and high and affectionate moral purpose. And even the credits at the end, which combine a hauntingly beautiful song by the wonderful Tokiko Kato with Hayao Miyazaki's hilarious sketches of tween-wars pilots and their planes, hold the viewer between tears and laughter. Miyazaki-san, thank you! Buy several copies and give all but one to your best friends. ## Frequently Bought Together - Porco Rosso Double Play (Blu-ray + DVD) - Howl's Moving Castle - Double Play (Blu-ray + DVD) - My Neighbour Totoro [Blu-ray + DVD] [1988] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/52832430-porco-rosso-double-play-blu-ray-dvd](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/52832430-porco-rosso-double-play-blu-ray-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
