Although Pom Poko (1994) is hilarious and adorable, one sad fact learned from this film is that nothing can stop human. This bittersweet animation is both blissful and depressing as it shows that ultimately nothing can be done to undo the actions of human beings to return the nature back to what it was; even with the Tanukis dying, trying to make a change.
The most fascinating and stunning points of this film are the antics of the characters and the spectacular achievements of the raccoon dogs using the ancient art of transformation such as scaring the humans and the grand monster parade. They are quite entertaining to watch and they will only get more amusing as you watch the film after you found out the source of their supernatural shape-shifting powers.
However, be warned that this film may be weird or obscene as you will be seeing testicles frequently shown or used for various illusions or transformations in this film but it is quite, funny. The depiction of raccoon dogs here are in accordance to the Japanese folklore so it is normal in Japanese culture.
