Porco Rosso is one out of Hayao Miyazaki's (and musically speaking, Joe Hisaishi's) many masterpieces. In Hisaishi's usual fashion, the score masterfully sets the mood of the setting and the characters. Along with the music, the playful sense of humor exhibited in the script and the characters' interactions brought me at ease. In the English dubbed version, Porco Rosso and Fio Piccolo are voiced by Michael Keaton and Kimberly Williams-Paisley, respectively. Both do a great job of portraying Porco's tough and cunning personality and Fio's innocent yet determined nature.
