Changes: Porco Rosso (1992 JAL Dub)

Revision as of 10:45, 18 July 2019

Porco Rosso is a 1992 Japanese animated comedy-adventure film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. It is based on Hikōtei Jidai, a three-part watercolor manga by Miyazaki.

Sometime before Disney released their dub on the film, the film was dubbed into English by an anonymous company for the Japanese Airlines. It is refereed to by fans as the JAL Dub (JAL is meant to be short for Japanese Airlines). This dub is extremely rare and was included in the Ghibli LD Box Set (English on the right analog track) and as a second language option on the first Region 2 DVD releases of the film in 2002. Barry Gjerde is known to have voiced at least 4 minor characters in this dub as indicated on his now defunct website. The majority of the main cast is unknown, though it is speculated that Lynn Harris and Carolyn Miller voiced Fio and Gina respectively. Unlike Disney's version, this dub has a more hokey and cartoony attitude, complete with certain characters speaking in exaggerated European accents. Despite being discontinued after 2002, the dub can still be found in full on most anime pirating websites.
