This story is about a young girl who doesn't know quite what she wants from life and considers not going to university. She follows a cat to an antique shop and becomes friends with the owner. Between the shop owner and his grandson she learns what she is really passionate about and learns that education doesn't have to be boring. Like all of Hayao Miyasaki's films the artwork is so wonderful and vibrant. All the cels of the cartoon are all hand painted masterfully. It amazes me how awesome the artwork is and reminds me sometimes of impressionist painters of old. I highly recommend this movie.
Master animator Hayao Miyazaki directs this tale about a former World War I flying ace who is also a pig. Slouching towards middle age, Porco Rosso makes his living by flying about in his bright red bi-plane and fighting sky bandits who prey on cruise ships sailing the Adriatic. When he's not engaging in dogfights, this porcine pilot lives on a deserted island retreat. Porco Rosso was once a strapping young man, but after his entire squadron was wiped out, he is mysteriously transformed into a pig. Rosso is defeated in a dogfight against a dashing American rival, who has been hired by the dastardly bandits. With his plane damaged, he finds a repair hangar near Milan run by an aging mechanic named Piccolo, and his spunky granddaughter Fio. Initially skeptical of her mechanical prowess, Rosso is amazed when she and a legion of local women fix his plane. Soon, Porco Rosso is ready to battle his rival.

I love this movie. My son turned me on to movies by Hayao Miyasaki. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I've borrowed it so many times from my son that I felt I should just buy it. Miyasaki is a master story teller and the artwork is so fantastic. I watch his movies just to see the artwork. The colors are so vibrant. This movie deals with a pilot's adventures during WWII. Younger children won't really understand the movie but will still like it anyway because of the funny scenes or just to see a pig fly a plane. I own half of Miyasaki's films and the rest are on my Christmas list. If the synopsis of this film doesn't tickle your fancy, try one of the others. You'll be glad you did.

I just moved from a large house into an apartment and the apartment didn't come with a microwave and I didn't want to take the one from the house because it was starting to rust inside. This is a medium-size oven that has a nice size insides. The turntable is almost as big as a large oven and the oven accommodates higher casserole dishes which will make it easy to reheat dishes when entertaining. It's a good size for an apartment for someone who enjoys cooking. It's easy to use and has pre-programmed buttons. It heats evenly and has multiple heat settings. I am really quite satisfied with this microwave oven.
