add recThough the plots of both Porco Rosso and Laputa: Castle in the Sky are quite different, if you enjoyed one you may well like the other. Aside from both being masterpieces from Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, both movies heavily feature sky pirates. With similarly loveable and humorous pirates, both films have a similar light hearted tone, though Laputa is generally more fantastical and serious.
Howl's Moving Castle

add recA sad tale lies behind the eyes of both lead characters in Howl & Porco Rosso. Both have suffered in the past and seem to really feel awkward and uncomfortable in the modern world and they try to find their place within it. They will both soon discover, however, that actions can be more truthful than appearances, and that friends and maybe even true love can be found by anyone, especially if they are kind of heart and thought.
Two wonderful tales, some stunning visuals and a good dose of action make these both delightful films that should not be missed.
Ghibli films are always pervaded with innocence, but Porco Rosso and Howl's Moving Castle are perhaps the most romantic in the classical sense. They are set in quaint, small town Europe and they feature young women falling in love and subsequently melting away the detachment in the heroes.
Fanciful imaginings of inherently romantic ideas, valor among sea pilots in the Adriatic in Porco Rosso, and a womanizing wizard missing his heart in Howl's Moving Castle, are set with the signature purity Ghibli gives all its stories and characters. Swoon away.

Alt titles: Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa
- Movie
- 1984
One thousand years after the Giant Warriors caused an apocalyptic event known as the seven days of fire, humans are living in constant fear of the Toxic Jungle. This ever-spreading forest is filled with poisonous plants and gigantic monstrous insects; even the very air is deadly. Nausicaa is the kind and wise princess of a small, peaceful country known as the Valley of the Wind, which has so far avoided the spread of the forest. One night a large airship containing one of the Giant Warriors crashes into the valley. The following day soldiers from the powerful nation of Tolmekia invade the Valley of the Wind to reclaim and revive the warrior. As the only one who truly believes that there is a way for humans to live alongside the insects, Nausicaa must find a way to stop the war that now threatens her people and protect the Toxic Jungle before the Tolmekians burn it to the ground.
