    Finally, seeing the civet cats singing and dancing happily, I felt very sad. Once again, I see the difference in style between Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, even if they are talking about environmental...

    At the end, the theme of the story for me is not the issue of environmental protection, but that so many civet cats survive in a human state and realize how hard it is for human beings to...

    There are plots, details, laughter and tears, and the ending is very helpless but also very loving! "As the TV Center said, both foxes and tanukis will gradually disappear as development progresses. Can't this be stopped? If both foxes and tanukis disappear, what will happen to rabbits and ferrets? Will it gradually disappear?" "It wouldn't be a civet cat without a playful...

    I have to sigh at the unrestrained creativity, the ever-changing civet cats, there is really nothing without the innocence. No matter how exaggerated the deformation and the illusion behind it, the sad music always moves people, makes people sad, and makes people feel indescribable. The chubby, round and fluffy civet cats twist and twist when they walk upright. They really make people fall in love with them, as if they want to have one of their...

    The coexistence of human beings and nature is transformed into the imagination of civet cats becoming human. The protagonist is a civet cat, and the story is told to us. The miracle of the testicles, the disturbance of visions, and the rhythm of the old man's slow narration all make us feel the groans in the depths of our culture. Fear of ghosts and spirits, and even more fear of economic stagnation and rising unemployment. These thoughts are not expressed in the film, but more of the...

    It's probably from Ghibli... I felt very dull watching the DVD at the God of Wealth's house back then.. The replay I watched on atv in the New Year this year.. is still dull.. But Ghibli's nostalgic feelings and the spirit of nature are too bright. .I was TATed again when I saw ed... After all, I am a green heart..=...

    Compared with the nail households in space, the guarding on the timeline is more important, and the raccoon is not a raccoon without a childlike innocence. It's too heavy to be...

    I have never seen such a silly X's narration, and the style of painting is also very...

    Should this be a happy or sad story? Even a country like Japan that is very ceremonial in protecting the ecological environment will look at its past in this way, so should China be ashamed? The parade of the raccoons is really wonderful, so...

    I watched it on and off while working out. It was a little boring at first, but it got better and better. It was very sad to see the civet cat desperately reverting the homeland developed by humans back to its former landscape! Protect...

    A little brain hole under the environmental protection shell

    It seems to be an environmental protection propaganda film, which is about the endless destruction of the environment by selfish humans, making civet cats and other animals homeless or even going extinct, but after thinking about it a little, I know that it expresses another meaning, the story...

    full of fun

    Funniest work from Studio Ghibli, very funny. The cute and pitiful tanuki can't bear to ruin their beautiful life. The ending is very sad and helpless. The raccoon turns into humans to survive, and some live by eating garbage. These are caused by hateful humans.

    The harmonious coexistence of man...

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.
