Modern man must be stopped!
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 homes 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 — on DVD for the first time ever.

Quotes
"A good watch for any anime fan. 4 stars" Official PS2 Mag Australia.
"The film is directed by Isao Takahata, who is the world's greatest living director of animation. His movies tend to be about serious subjects. Pom Poko" treats the subject of environmental conservation with humor and wisdom." Roger Ebert
"The movie is graced with wit and a beautiful production design, dominated by rich, bold colors and a fast tempo..." Variety
"The film is not so much fiction as a documentary of the destiny of the raccoon dogs as seen through their own eyes..." Isao Takahata
"This accomplished fable exhibits an adult sensibility, droll sense of humor, slapstick comedy and a tough, matter-of-fact attitude." Variety
