I got Porco Rosso from Netflicks yesterday. It was awesome. It is a Japanese animated movie for Italy, but the version I got was in English. It is about Seaplane pirates in the Adriatic Sea after WWII. Anyone who knows any history of Shnieder cub racers will really appreciate this movie. Some of the animations, although not completely correct, are really close to a few of the Curtis and Supermarine float plane racers of the day. The middle of the movie is all about rebuilding a one off pre-war prototype racer. Amazing movie for big and little kids to watch together for the holidays.

The above trailer in in Italian, but Netflicks sends out the English version.
Great movie for kids, big and small who love seaplanes.
