This film is unusual, to say the least. It is an anime made by Studio Gibly set in the 1920s (probably). It has good humor, and the characters are interesting. It has some sexism, but not alot. Porco is very grumpy, like Simon Cowell but a seaplane pilot. He is not a good example, as he smokes and is quite sexist. But other characters are, well, better, if you know what I mean. It hooks you in quite early on, as the first thing is a battle. All in all, it is a great film.
