A group of pure civet cats tried their best to protect their homeland. The round civet cats are very cute, they know illusions, and they constantly learn from humans to imitate humans, preventing developers from destroying their forests. The atmosphere of the whole film is relaxed and happy. The civet cats are very interesting in the plot of model humans entering human life. They are full of curiosity about modern life. They like to eat food made by humans, even if humans cut down forests and destroy their homes, civet cats There is no hostility.

This optimism runs through the whole film. In the actions to prevent the development time and time again, the civet cats did not want to kill humans, but drove them away, turned into ghosts and gods to scare humans to achieve their goals, and then the plan failed, they did not because of the plan It is sad and sad to fail, but to feel lost for being falsely claimed for one's own honor, which makes people laugh. The strength of the civet cats is not enough to fight against humans. They cry, helpless, and powerless, shouting that they hope that humans will return their mountains and their homes. They have been desperate and finally have the courage to speak their minds to humans. However, the ending is regrettable. Some of the civet cats left the forest and chose to commit suicide, hoping that on the day of suicide, under the bright moon, Buddha would take them to heaven. The remaining tanukis gave up their fight, and used their last strength to cast illusions to make the city return to its former green grass and lush forests. Humans still continue to develop, leaving only a part of the trees for the civet cats to live. The civet cats have less living space. The civet cats that will transform become human and integrate into human life. Some cannot integrate into human life and return to the forest again. . And those who can't be transformed, some are raised by people, some are foraging around, and some continue to live on another hill. Each civet cat chooses its own way of survival.

The image of the civet cat in the film is kind, and it highlights the image of human ignorance, selfishness, and cowardice. It expresses a heavy theme from the demands of the animal itself. When watching it, it slowly frowns from joy to, especially at the end, it is so bright. , but not happy. This is an educational film.

    The ending of Miyazaki's story is somewhat hopeful, and Takahata is a forced smile after being powerless. I thought of "Wolf Walker" more than once, of course, it is a pure fairy tale, so it can have a very happy ending (plus the number of ethnic groups... birth, what is born...) The civet cat is still pure animal form and looks good

    A group of crazy civet cats, Hayao Miyazaki's films love to reflect the destruction of nature by human beings, so they also reflect. Maybe we also live in a group of civet cats who are forced to become human beings

Pom Poko quotes

  • Ponkichi: If we get rid of all the humans, that means... we'll never eat tempura again! Or beef jerky! Or popcorn.

    Tanuki: Hamburgers! Donuts! Potato chips! Pepperoni pizza! Chicken wings!

    [Gonta is moved by this. His eyes tear and his mouth waters]

    Gonta: I can taste it!

    Seizaemon: So, then, do you think it would be alright if we kept a few humans around, Gonta?

    Gonta: [wiping the saliva from his mouth] We have no choice.

  • Shokichi: Master, would you re-enact the tale of the young samurai who shot the fan?

    Hage: Ah. I'll need some help.

    [He transforms into Nasu no Yoichi. He flies towards the crowd. Gonta's eyes bulge as he realizes that Master Hage is homing in on him. The crowd of tanuki scramble. Master Hage lands on Gonta and clings to his back. The Taka tanuki struggles, then hops around on all fours and turns into a horse. Hage rides around the clearing. Water seems to flood into the clearing, and Master Hage rides Gonta into it. Before them is an image of the sea, and three boats. One of the boats has the image of a woman standing on the bow of the boat and a fan on the top of the mast. Hage draws a bow and shoots the fan, sending it flying into the air]
