Everyones in the studio wearing a sweater then you cut to Michael Keaton in a beautiful backdrop wearing a tuxedo. Michael Keaton is the man.
Aye!! He rather be a pig ....than a fascist 😂
Micheal Keaton absolutely nailed the character of Porco Rosso.
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
"it takes place in italy, it was originally in japanese, now it's in english, and she's singing in french."
Yep...Makes total sense.
It's actually in Croatia for a lot of the film.

I quote this ALL the time!
Mr.Worldwide🌐
@@dddman6516 yougoslavia is no longer a country. its in Croatia.
I love the fact that Michael Keaton is dressed up as Bruce Wayne in the entire interview
The single standout for me is Susan Egan as Gina. Her voice acting is rich and subtle, just like the best Japanese voice actors.
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
A lot of times I can never tell that Cary Elwes is actually British. He just does accents so flawlessly.
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.
I like how Michael Keaton wears sunglasses while dubbing his voice. Probably helps to get into character.
susan egan is so iconic. recognize her voice anywhere. love that cary plays curtis 🤣
Michael Keaton was perfect in Porco Rosso
wr
Michael Keaton also voiced Chick Hicks from Cars, and Ken from Toy Story 3.
Takes place in Italy, originally in Japanese, now it's in English, but she's singing in French? Dang, that's A LOT of culture in one movie :)
Brad Garrett did a awesome job playing Boss in this movie and i like how he made Boss sound like a big loud Temper guy
Susan Egan not only does a great job voicing Gina but her singing Les Temps de Ceries entirely in French is like WOW she sings so beautifully.
The voice actor for Gina is so cute
Susan Egan is totally adorable so you are speaking truth.
"Ok, it takes place in Italy, it was originally in Japanese now it's in English but she sings in French." *crosses eyes*
Michael Keaton, greatest casting choice ever.
3 Batman actors in Ghibli films?
Christian Bale: Batman in Howls Moving Castle as Howl.
Michael Keaton: Batman in this as Porco.
Will Arnett: Batman (Lego Movie) in The Secret World Of Arrietty as Pod.
Mind blown.
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.
The American dubbing of Studio Ghibli animations is always so perfect and done so that the animation is still the star and not the actors doing the voices, unlike in American animations/cgi where the stars always manage to make sure you know exactly who they are at all times!
i've never heard the japanese version but they did a great job in creating the character's personalities in their voices, good job, guys!
4:14 The voice actor for Fio actually looks just like her!
Cary and David are marvelous voice actors and so good at accents
Years ago I can remember watching a raw vhs bootleg while passing around a translated script of this, Whisper of the Heart, and Nausicaa with friends and none of us knowing any Japanese. To see the care and respect these dubs have been given really makes me happy. Credit where credit is due, Disney is the reason my son grew up on Ghibli movies, and for that I am grateful.
In France porco rosso is dub by Jean reno the guy who plays Léon the professional
The voice actor of Gina kinda looks like her.
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.
Ghibli treads ground where Disney would never dare... I love both, Each have their good and bad points, and each appeal to different people.
However, Ghibli for me really has that spark, every film is a surprise, the stories tend to catch you off guard, and each one inspires me in a new and exciting way.
Disney tends to be rather monotonous and... a tad too easily interpreted.
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.
R.I.P., David Ogden Stiers.
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.
The voices of my childhood ngl
One of my favourite films of all time. This version specifically!
I love the thing she did with her eyes
Disney did begin an empire of animation, but it has become way too mainstream and far from what I think Walt intended. I think Miyazaki is continuing the legacy.
Porco is one of my favourite Ghibli films. The soundtrack is amazing, characters are really fun and unique and the action is top draw! I need to watch it again in English this time.
I love this movie soooooo much ❤️ So underrated. Also, it’s funny seeing Susan wearing a rosy top long before she was Rose 🌹🌸 Also, David...RIP 💔
Susan Egan's voice is just sublime. I just hear Meg despite her voicework here and Spirited Away.
Michael keatons’ voice is so relaxing
I remember watching the JAL version when I was little - on vhs. I think they did a perfectly fine job with this one, but a lot of the voices are more recognisable and take away from the story. Like when Liam Neeson did the voice in Ponyo - his voice is instantly recognisable and it reminds you that you’re watching a film but I think others with less recognisable voices help you sink into the story
exactly my point in casting famour actors as voice actors
Cary elwes!!!
The voice of the baron is also the voice of the voice of an american pilot
Seems Miyazaki really loves having him as a voice over actor
But no seriously!! The same voice actor as Meg from hercules and Rose quartz from steven universe is also behind this gem!!! Fuck yeah!
Susan sounds a bit exasperated by the fact that Porco Rosso's been translated into english and yet, she still is singing a song in French. I do have to say that her French is pretty good.
Love this film so much.
Me too
I'm Japanese but I really really want to watch the movie in American dubbed version!
R.I.P. DAVID OGDEN STIERS SUCH A WONDERFUL ACTOR AND PERSON
It's pretty ironic that this is primarily an American cast, with the one exception being the actor who is *voicing* an American.
It's megera from Hercules
The dubs were perfectly casted and performed. Great job everyone.
ofc michael’s in a tux for this. luv him.
for my experience this movie get compared to Casablanca a lot and i do agree. even Michael Keaton pointed it out that porco is a lot like Humphrey Bogart.
One of my favorite Ghibli movies. I loved Brad Garrett in this as the Mama Aiuto gang leader lol
This was fantastic! I can't wait to watch it!
I like their choice of headphones! AKG k240 & fostex T20/40RP
english: Michael Keaton !!
frenches: Jean Reno !!
I love Susan’s voice. The first time I saw this movie, I recognized that it was Meg from Hercules
Susan Egan has such an effortless old Hollywood warmth to her voice. Just fantastic.
Donald Curtis is voiced by Cary Elwes!! I had no idea... I love that guy. I’ve never seen the English dub but I will now.
2:03 she's definitely a disney princess.
It is indeed a difficult job for these voice actors.
I had no idea Susan Egan worked in the english dub of a ghibli film, she's amazing
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.
This is one of the best and underrated studio Ghibli movies ever
Oh, Heavens, Yes
I never said otherwise. Miyazaki is one of the greatest directors of all time, no doubt on that. Disney was an expert on storytelling, many people considered him to be the best. He would spent years and years developing the projects and the story aproach. Less is more. You have to understand that languange in film is diferent from books and other arts. Disney has masterpieces of cinema, that will be forever loved and studied. But Walt beats them all (directors), his movies will live forever.
I really respect voice actors
ポルコ以外の人達も全員、最適な配役だと思う。皆、画と声の相性が良い。
Best RUclips Video In The Universe
나는 영어 더빙 애니메이션을 좋아한다. 🌿
I like the english dubbed animation.
It was good to hear that Susan Egan would sing in French as Gina.
ポルコの声の人は、オリジナルの人と同じように渋くてカッコイイ声だね
bard garrett love him
みなさん楽しんで仕事してた様子が分かるビデオで、また次に見るときが楽しみです。
Batmna does the voice of porco ? TERRIFIC !!!!!!!!!!!
i wouldnt has thought that piccalo was major winchester from MASH
5:58Texas(English)Alabama(Japanese)
Beetlejuice and Batman (1989 version) in a Ghibli movie
Edit: and also Chick Hicks and Ken from Toy Story 3.
I didnt even know it was Michael Keaton. I was just so impressed that I had to look it up. Very good work
Maybe the secret to Miyazaki films being great is by casting Batman as your lead.
Michael Keaton-Porco Rosso
Christian Bale- Howl
Robert Pattinson- The Grey Heron
This is Awesome
I'm just going to pretend that after Batman Micheal Keaton always wore a tuxedo. The world is better this way.
You are All the Best, Every Awesome American Voice Actors. :-D
Happy birthday, Susan Egan, and half a century sharp, too.
Well well well... that happens when your motherlanguage is the most spoken laguage in the world, at least up to now, and you have to dub a japanese animation masterpiece set in the early '20 in the former italian dalmatian coast, where a really cute woman sings a french song. You probably end up eye-crossing. Something that italian dubbers constantly face when they have to dub sir Sean Connery performing the captain of a russian submarine in The Hunt for Red October or when Rob LaBelle (who actually is american despite his name) speaks english with a french accent in Bob the butler.
You'll never see italian dubbers eye-crossing. It's pretty common job when english is not your motherlanguage.
Michael Keaton said it best, this movie is just interesting and fun.
Can't belive David Stiers who played Charles Winchester in M*A*S*H also does this kind of voice acting. What a legend.
Is anyone gonna talk about michael keaton doing his lines in sunglasses to get into character lol
wow amazing english cast!!
The pig's VA is so swag and classy
I Love It a Lot
Porco Rosso - Batman
Gia - Megara
Grandpa Piccolo - Cogsworth
Donald Curtis - Westley
Fio - Annie Banks
Mamma Aiuto Boss - Robert Barone
fabulous!
Just got my studio Ghibli collection in the mail and this made the opening cut. Nausicaa and Valley of the Wind is next.
Best Anime Movie In The Universe, and I Love It a Lot
Fio has the same face as Nausicaa haha
IM.OBSESSED WITH BRAD GARRETT
Brad Garrett also voiced Dim the rhinoceros beetle in A Bug's Life, Bloat in Finding Nemo, and Chef Gustaeus in Ratatouille.
@@thegorgeousgabrielle2433 DIM IS MY FAVORITE ROLE OF HIS
EXCELLENT CAST
I agree.
I don't like PIXAR movies; however, I can appreciate the work that goes into them, they are amazing in there own right.
Susan also voiced Lynn in Spirited Away!
Keaton out here looking like Vincent price
Learning about wonderful stuff like this makes me wonder what living life with one universal language would be like. In the end it would definitely be a net positive but I do wonder what we'd lose.
Nope, it takes place in Kvarner gulf, Croatia :))) and it also shows my hometown, Rijeka :)
Sob. I've seen the movie twice, and I now realized Michael Keaton did the VA for Porco. That's like now realizing that Mark Hamill voiced the Joker.
I love Porco Rosso
Voice of Meg? Goodness, I love this movie in English. Watched it in Japanese but nothing compares to the English.
I just recommend watching some good ones which people have forgotten, like 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?', 'Never Cry Wolf', '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea', 'Dragonslayer' and those ones are live-action. Recently there have been a slew of Pixar films with much more depth in character and plot than in the past. Have you seen Wall-E, Up and even Toy Story 3 topped it's predecessors.
I've never heard the original non-Disney dub of PORCO ROSSO, but I didn't hear such great things about it. Besides, I personally found Disney's dub of this movie fine, especially Kimberly's Fio--her chemistry with Michael is what really makes the film. Cary is also quite amusing as Curtis. Then again, I do love the Disney dubs pretty much unreservedly.
@silvermoonredmoon Okay, i understand your love for Miyazaki, but how could you not give the credit Disney deserves as an Animation pioneer. Let's not forget the world-wide animation craze that occurred after Snow White was released in 1938, which was the first color cel-animated full length film. Miyazaki himself admitted a lot of inspiration was drawn from Disney films and other fairy tales. Also you can't knock Pixar films, they are simply awesome.
