Pom Poko (PG) DVD
Pom Poko is a tale of the clash between modern civilization and the natural world.
The Raccoons of the Tama Hills are being forced from their forest by the rapid development of houses and shopping malls. As it becomes harder to find food and shelter, they decide to band together and fight back. The Raccoons practice and perfect the ancient art of transformation until they are even able to appear as humans.
In often hilarious ways, the Raccoons use their powers to try to scare off the advancement of civilization. But will it be enough? Or will the Raccoons learn how to live in balance with the modern world?
Celebrate the magic of the forest and the beauty of the creatures who live among us in Pom Poko, directed by Miyazaki collaborator and long-time Studio Ghibli member, Isao Takahata.
