Variety civet cats-survival of the fittest

A story of chubby fat men fighting for their homeland. Watching them frown, pat their stomachs, and sway chanting incantations, I can't help but laugh.

Until their hard-working parade was taken over by humans, their angry and sad looks made me also wipe away tears. Their purpose is not fame and fortune, they just hope that humans can know the existence of civet cats, and they just hope that their homes will not be destroyed.

The fox said to the elder, "survival of the fittest, we can live in their world like humans." "What about the civet cats that won't change shape? Does it matter whether they live or die?" The fox is also helpless, there is no way, the fittest Survive and survive.

It's cruel, as if you have to face this law no matter where you are. Being forced to grow up, being forced to do things you don’t want just to survive, doesn’t seem like an exaggeration, or even justified. But always feel sad.

The elder and the mother-in-law said to the camera with tears in their eyes: We did all those things. The mountain area is our homeland. I hope you don't destroy it. Then all the civet cats turned into rabbits, deer, bears and other small animals, they surrounded reporters and photographers, and finally turned into fireflies and flew away.

This is not just the story of the tanuki.

Suddenly I wondered, would I be walking on the road and encounter a human being transformed into a civet cat or other small animal?

    In the face of reality, no matter how hard a dream is, it is just an egg. Even if he doesn't want to, Peter Pan always has to make a contract with the society and pretend to live as an adult. I don't know where is home, I don't know how to resolve...

    The music and parade are amazing~! It's heavy to tell with such a lovely story. After reading it, I feel that the development and progress of human beings are actually so selfish and like a cage built for themselves. How many urban children know about the scenery of nature that I love in rural areas? In the future, I am afraid that even the countryside will not have green trees and green mountains. The raccoon said, only humans can bear such a life, and humans are stupid raccoons. ╮(╯▽╰

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.
