Porco Rosso

Porco Rosso (紅の豚 Kurenai no Buta) is a 1992 Japanese animated adventure film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. It is based on Hikōtei Jidai ("The Age of the Flying Boat"), a three-part watercolor manga by Miyazaki.

Dubbing History
Porco Rosso was originally dubbed by an unknown company in Tokyo for Japan Airlines. This dub is extremely rare and was only included in the Ghibli LD Box Set (English on the right analog track) and on the first Region 2 DVD releases in 2002 as a second language option. Most of the cast is unknown, though several minor characters are known to have been voiced by Barry Gjerde as indicated on his now-defunct personal website. The dub itself is much more hokey and humorous in delivery than the later Disney dub.

The film was later redubbed in 2004 by Disney, featuring Michael Keaton as Porco Rosso, and was first released on DVD on February 22, 2005.
