In the woods of Tokyo's Tama Hills, a group of happy civet cats live. However, due to the continuous expansion of residential areas by humans, their living places continue to decrease. Facing the crisis, the civet cats decided to revive the ancestral transformation technique to confront humans and block the housing construction plan. While working hard to carry out special training in transformation skills, they sent envoys to Shikoku and Sado to visit the raccoon elders there to request foreign aid. Although the civet cats tried their best, they still did not have any impact on human activities. The elders of the four countries finally arrived, and the monster group plan organized by foreign aid also failed. The civet cats fell into despair. Unexpectedly, they found that the residential area suddenly became green. It turns out that humans discovered this group of civet cats and created an artificial green space for them. The civet cats started a new life in the artificial landscape.

DVD online shopping failed, it is Italian version, neither English subtitles nor French subtitles, let alone Chinese. I read it with my daughter in Japanese, which I don't understand at all, purely by sight. Daughter said to give five points. There are comments that Takahata is inferior to Miyazaki in the story structure. But this kind of sloppy narrative and group portrait performance is my dish and my pursuit. As for the political orientation of this film, of course, it is not as simple as environmental protection, but close to the Japanese romanticism: turning the local spiritual world (Shintoism, folklore, ritual and wild...) into pantheism and into "supernatural naturalism". This intention, in a nutshell, is certainly not unique to Japan, and is a universal reaction-experience mechanism of modern capitalism.

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...

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/
Osho, Oroku: [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.
