Sorry to disagree but you are wrong. Porco rosso was released in theaters in france, on June 1995 by Studio Canal. Jean-Pierre Dionnet bought two films from Ghibli at that time, Porco Rosso and Totoro. Totoro was directly broadcasted on Canal + in 1998.

the deal between Ghibli and Disney was only concluded in 1999. And The first Ghibli film released in france under the Buena Vista Banner, was Princess Mononoke on January 2000.
