      We're no different from those civet cats

      Even the civet cats who know magic are so fragile and helpless in the face of incomparably powerful human beings. It is futile to let them change, not to mention most ordinary animals. Their fate is almost the fish on the chopping board. Although nature is not powerless to fight back, revenge is...

      No matter how hard you try, it's all in vain

      "Variety Tanuki", also known as "Heisei Tanuki", is a work by Hayao Miyazaki in 1994. The story takes a group of civet cats as the protagonists, and tells the story of their desperate efforts and various means for their own homes, trying to maintain their own living environment and their own homes....

      A strong "anti-war" core wrapped under the "environmental protection" coat. A civil war of a small race full of internal civilization begins, and then it is invaded by a powerful foreign race, triggering a counterattack of unity within the small race. The first act, military training, demonstrations, guerrillas, and national heroes, did not work, and the hawks and doves were beginning to emerge. In the second act, the strategy was re-established, foreign aid was invited, and a large-scale armed parade was launched. The third act, being exploited, alienated, and internally divided. The fourth act, disintegrating, falling apart, and finally losing to a more powerful race, either fleeing or accepting the status quo, living on their own soil that is no longer their own country, dying or surviving.

      Tanukis speak Japanese, drink sake, sing folk songs and dance folk dances. Can they become adults in traditional Japanese costumes? This is even more powerful than the X-Men Blue Witch! But they can't deal with humans? The greater the ability, the faster the extinction? Obviously, this kind of story setting is unexplainable from the perspective of the biological evolution of interspecies competition and survival of the fittest. The "variety" technique is more like a practical skill that serves the fun of the animation and imagines the picture and makes the audience hooked, rather than a practical skill to play with humans within the logic of the plot. So I once again confirmed my old view: the relationship between the story world of highly stylized myths/costumes/animations and human society can only be satirized and cannot be connected. The so-called sarcasm is that in the closed circle of the civet cats, some are combative, some are peaceful, some will change, some will not, some are excluded, some are embraced... and then this kind of character is related to Interaction can project a certain era crisis in human society. If this is not the case, but the narrative greed and vain attempt to be directly related to humans, then many of the original set selling points will face the risk of losing control and disagreement.

    Pom Poko quotes

    • Gonta: What good did it do? You idiots. You think that will stop the developers? Don't just frighten them. We need to hurt them. Inflict some serious pain!

      [He makes an emphatic gesture with his arm. He stops and winces, then doubles over in pain]

    • Tanuki: [singing and carrying Gonta] Moon, moon, moon shine bright, moon shine bright, so bright and long/ Shine, shine, shine on Gonta, pom poko pom pom, pom pom pom/

      OshoOroku: [singing] You showed the world what we can do, now

      Front crowd of Tanuki: [chanting] We have the greatness of Oroku, too!

      Tanuki: [singing] All our friends are cheering for you/ That's the truth, we adore you/ Hail to Gonta, he's our god!/ Pom poko, pom pom, pom pom pom!

      Newsreader: [as the Tanuki chant Gonta's name in the background] ... Nevertheless, a government spokesman stressed that the people of Tokyo are in such desperate need of living accomodations, that the new Tama development project will not be delayed, despite today's tragic accidents.

      [the tanuki stop celebrating and drop Gonta in surprise. They rush towards the TV, trampling Gonta in the process]

      Newsreader: I repeat...

      Narrator: It was, needless to say, an unfortunate accident. Gonta, the mastermind behind the dangerous attacks against the humans, now suffered multiple fractures and internal injuries, that would take nearly a year to heal.
