TCM Presents Porco Rosso

In January 2006, Turner Classic Movies ran a month-long tribute to the animated films of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. Here, Pixar's John Lasseter introduces TCM's presentation of Porco Rosso.

Amazing to see just how much respect there is for Miyazaki from his fellow artists.

This film is perhaps one of Miyazaki's most adult films, and yet it's one of the hardest 'sells' to any audience, mainly cause it's concept - "A WWI veteran pilot turned into a pig," just sounds so stupid and childish, but if you just give it a chance, you'd see it's some of his best work.

Yeah, that's something i really miss about those times. I would turn on the TV in the late hours to find a movie you wouldn't watch on your own accord in a million years. Since nothing else is on you decide to watch it. If you're lucky enough to find a true gem, you watch it until you become drowsy to the charm of the movie. That's something I miss about having a TV, falling asleep to those kind of shows.
