Studio Ghibli and Grave of the Fireflies director Takahata Isao create a magical, but sobering tale about preservation with 1994’s Pom Poko. The fantasy film takes us into the world of the Tanukis (Japanese raccoon dogs), who are about to take on the human world to ensure their own survival in a rapidly developing Japan. Takahata blends elements of traditional Japanese folklore and a strong message advocating for environmental protection into a wonderfully strange tale about a courageous group of animals fighting to protect their home. At the time of its release, Pom Poko won the Best Animated Film Award at the Mainichi Film Concours and represented Japan at the Academy Awards Best Foreign Film race that year.

In the 1960’s, the lives of the Tanukis living in the hills of Western Tokyo are threatened when urban development moves into their area. Since then, natural resources (including land) have become so scarce that groups of Tanukis are now fighting each other for their habitat. Before the fight goes further, matriarch Oroku urges them to stop fighting and use the effort to put a stop the human world’s development. Soon, the Tanukis unite in their fight against the humans. When their first several plans didn’t work, Oroku comes with a risky plan so crazy that it might work after all.

Blu ray edition includes storyboards (in picture-in-picture mode), dubbing script, a special rakugo performance about Tanukis and trailers. It also comes with a picture label..
