After completing his break-out animated hit, Kiki’s Delivery Service in 1989, director Hayao Miyazaki took some time off to ponder what his next project would be. After three years and much thought, the result was Porco Rosso. A resounding success when it was first released in Japan in 1992, Porco Rosso combines the Academy Award-winning director’s whimsical imagination and deep-rooted romanticism with his love of aeronautics.

THE ART OF PORCO ROSSO is packed with movie art and analysis, interviews, and behind-the-scenes photos - this prestige-format hardcover book will transport you back to a time when air pirates ruled the skyline above the Mediterranean.

Up until recently, Porco Rosso was the highest grossing animated film in Japan’s history. Now, finally, U.S. audiences will get a chance to experience what Hayao Miyazaki has called his most personal film. Porco Rosso, the crimson pig, will steal your heart!
