The play tells the story in the tone of a civet cat. At first, it was said that the tanuki fought for the woodland. They can walk on two feet when humans can't see them. Later, when the forest was invaded by humans, they stopped fighting and started to learn transformation, and some civet cats have learned something and can transform into a human form. The leader of one faction called on several warriors to raid the construction site because the forest where he grew up was about to be cut down. They caused the death of the construction site driver and the development project was suspended. When the civet cats were celebrating, they accidentally trampled the leader into serious injuries, and it took at least a year of cultivation. The civet cats decided to turn into mountain gods and use the human "sentence" mentality to delay the development of another mountain. The two academically successful tanuki set out to invite the masters to come over. Other tanukis continue to play tricks to delay development, and transforming has become their greatest joy. At this time, a raccoon came from another mountain forest. He said that his home was also polluted by the wasteland. Please stop the development of the protagonists, the protagonists feel powerless. When winter came, the raccoon pushed the bulldozer down the mountain and was seen by the workers who stayed at the construction site. In the end, it was dismissed because of insufficient evidence. The elders invited from Shikoku arrived, and they organized a monster battle, which was gorgeous and strange. As a result, one of the elders died suddenly, and the monster battle was forced to stop. The raccoons thought the battle was a success, but the next day, the director of an amusement park in the development zone stood up and said that this was the publicity of their park. The tanukis were disheartened. At this time, a fox who turned into a human went to the leader Tanuki to talk: I hope they become human and work in the amusement park, this is the only way to survive. And the tanuki who can't transform can only be abandoned. At this time, the raccoons began to fall apart. Some raccoons went to work in the amusement park (in the end, the raccoons took away all the money as funds for the battle), some launched armed forces, and some simply ate fast food and chanted Buddha every day. All the armed factions were killed, and the tanuki who ate and chanted Buddha took the treasure boat away. Some of them had to be forced to live as human beings, while the tanuki who couldn't transform themselves lived. Tanuki Masaichi sees his former friends get together to sing and dance for fun on the way from get off work, and he joins them. Sadness and joy are mixed, and the happy scene is lined with sadness, and the end.

    In fact, in the eyes of humans, all animals, except pets, are food. How can there ever be true peaceful coexistence? The structure of this film is a bit sloppy, and it feels like the protagonist is changing around. Takahata's imagination is unbelievable, but his ability to tell stories is obviously inferior to Hayao Miyazaki.

    http://www.youku.com/playlist_show/id_931064.html (viewing address) Or you should appreciate those foxes more. Since you want to eat human food for human entertainment, you should pay, right? Don't we live like this? I don't feel anything after reading it, maybe I've grown up... Fortunately, the fox man is embarrassing enough, the type I don't know about TX = =|||. I'm a little disappointed with the dubbing, in fact, you can watch the Mandarin version directly, without the pain in your eyes

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.
