It's actually in Croatia for a lot of the film.

@@dddman6516 yougoslavia is no longer a country. its in Croatia.

Aye!! He rather be a pig ....than a fascist 😂

Dude absolutely. I’m 49 mins into it right now and I love it.

I don't think his voice matches the character at all!

100% and if I ever meet him, I'll ask him about it.

@@Welther47 what do you think could have been done differently, who would you have cast if you could have?

Aye he did

I finally watched Porco recently and couldn't stop hearing Lin from Spirited Away when Gina was talking. Susan Egan did a great job with both characters.

​@@gloworm106she was also Meg from Hercules. Her agent is a BOSS.

​@@FlyingFocsShe's also Rose Quartz on Steven Universe

Immediately makes me think of Jonas from Twister

@@Wired4Life2 he's actually English, and the accent you're thinking about is the transatlantic accent.

@@MobinKiadeh england is within great britain. you are both right.

Michael Keaton also voiced Chick Hicks from Cars, and Ken from Toy Story 3.

riona139 Hell Yeah!!!

+riona139 Wouldn't it be more Bruce Wayne? Although Bale totally does his deep Batman voice during that dream sequence, to point where I was waiting for him to say "WHERE ARE THEY!!"

AWESOME!!!!!

Anne Hathway and Mark Hamil..... Catwoman and the Joker too..... Miyazakis power

All Ghibli movies hide a dark side.

Susan Egan is totally adorable so you are speaking truth.

Exactly. Mostly in dealing with modern (CGI) Disney movies, you already know some of the things that are going to be featured in the film even before you watch the movie, because they all have recurrent features used over and over again: - the protagonist (usually a girl in Disney´s latest movies) having problems at the beginning to control her powers (but eventually and predictably learning to use them); - the protagonist at her lowest moral moments saying things like "I can´t do this" or "I´m not the one you´re looking for", about to abandon her task (but again, regaining self-confidence, overcoming all the adversities and returning home triumphant); - the protagonist, being told NOT to go beyond a specific limit, but predictably disobeying and going after some adventure (the moral- she disobeyed, but it was worth the adventure);... ... and of course, the typical Hollywood merry ending. Japanese movies, at least those I know, are a bit different. To me they lack those repetitive features that Disney movies have, and which, as you well said, make them not that predictable, and in a way, better. I even know of a few Japanese animated movies (or episodes from Japanese animated TV series) with a sad ending, which I guess for Hollywood is plain unthinkable, not to say for a children´s movie. "All´s well that ends well", as Shakespeare would say? Well, not exactly. When you repeat the same formula again and again and again and again, that becomes not so good. Take the ending of Porco Rosso as a neat example: it´s a mystery what happened to Marco (has his face returned human after Fio´s tender and lovely farewell kiss?), and to Gina, and how was Fio´s life afterwards, and Donald Curtiss´. Were this a Disney or Hollywood movie in general, the ending would be quite clear: Marco is back to a human being, Fio would have returned to stay with Marco, Donald Curtiss would have also been back from America, everybody happy and- well- every typical Hollywood merry ending feature that you may think of. Not so professional, I´d say. The only thing about Porco Rosso that does not convince me much is the ideal of making a teenage girl (Fio) marry a way older guy (Donald Curtiss), and against her will (even if in the end that didn´t happen). That all said, and concentrating on the American dubbing of this movie, to date I failed to find it to watch the entire movie in English. And it´s a shame, because Michael Keaton is one of my favorite actors ever, and it came to me as a surprise to see that he did take his part in this movie, and voicing Porco!

Because there's no monopoly, well there's few but not as bad as in Hollywood

Just wait til 2021, disney is even worse 😂😂😂 see it's funny cause the comment's from 7 years ago and it's funny hehe...

Probably because, and sorry for replying to a 9 year old comment, Studio Ghibli films are much more the product of the idea of a single person than recent Disney. That's what happens when two animators are the ones that get to call the shots in a studio. Ghibli is essentially a collective art piece representing the life and struggles of Miyazaki, Takahata, and all the other directors that worked in it. It's Film d'auteur in all its glory.

Kind of. But I want her voice to be little deeper... I really love original voice.

@@koya-koya Perfection is inhuman

That's Susan Egan who played Megara in Disney's Hercules.

She was in another Ghibli movie and it was Spirited Away.

I didn't know! Damn.

Damn... happened 3 years ago and it takes this comment to inform me of such a tragic loss. He deserves so much better

David Ogden Stiers died from bladder cancer.

exactly my point in casting famour actors as voice actors

Me too

She worked on 2 ghibli films

@@laurenmungaray3912 The other of which, _Spirited Away,_ by the way, is the first, and so far only, anime film to win any Academy Award, period. In fact, it was the first 2D animated film to win for Best Animated Feature.

Brad Garrett also voiced Dim the rhinoceros beetle in A Bug's Life, Bloat in Finding Nemo, and Chef Gustaeus in Ratatouille.
