However, Porco is not thrilled that his friend is leaving the work on his aircraft to his granddaughter Fiona, but disgruntled it. The young woman turns out to be a real talent, which is why Porco takes her along as a mechanic out of necessity and at her request.

criticism
“The airplane fascinates him [Hayao Miyazaki], it runs through all of his works. In Porco Rosso he put this obsession into practice more meticulously than in any other film. […] The film shares the stance against fascism with Casablanca , including the melodramatic plot. In the end, Porco Rosso acts like Humphrey Bogart's Rick - because he lets go of the women he loves. "
“Porco Rosso fails at a high level and mainly because of its own ambitions. The mixture of childlike drawing style, silly slapstick and a deeply tragic story doesn't quite work. However, it is precisely this ambivalence that makes Porco Rosso so worth seeing. It may be one of the weaker Hayao Miyazaki films, but it is also one of the most interesting. And even a weak Miyazaki is still a very good film. "

Süddeutsche Zeitung, October 30, 2013, accessed on November 14, 2013 : “At the end of the day, anime director and Oscar winner Hayao Miyazaki lets the viewer's imagination decide whether the pig that can fly can become a human again. An ambivalent ending for a contradicting hero in the seaplane. "
