Human beings are unreliable

This is an animated film that starts to be easy and funny, but makes you cry at the end, and can't be calm for a long time. I feel sad for the civet cat, blame myself for the mankind, and deeply feel the importance of environmental protection. A Studio Ghibli movie I like very much, and I am still very impressed. When I first saw it, I was completely attracted by the optimistic and cute civet cats. The scene when the two civet cats were fighting was really cute. The atmosphere becomes heavier as the movie goes forward. The destruction of nature by humans causes the civet cat to counterattack helplessly, but it ultimately fails. When Tanuki turned Tokyo back into the mountains in the last battle, I really couldn’t help crying.

    This is actually one of my favorites in Grandpa Gong’s movies. It is actually a very sad and humorous one. The civet cats face that world and there is no way to change. In addition, I also like the two songs in it. Although I sang very joyously, the sequelae of watching that movie is that I want to cry every time I hear it.

    There are plots, details, laughter and tears, and the ending is very helpless but also very loving! "As the TV Center said, both foxes and tanukis will gradually disappear as development progresses. Can't this be stopped? If both foxes and tanukis disappear, what will happen to rabbits and ferrets? Will it gradually disappear?" "It wouldn't be a civet cat without a playful spirit!"

Pom Poko quotes

  • Osho: [Osho is patiently teaching a class to the young raccoons] A raccoon fell out of the tree! Yes, that's right. Who can tell me *why* the raccoon fell out of the tree? Gonta?

    Gonta: He was a loser. *I* wouldn't have fallen.

    Osho: Good answer.

  • Bunta: So what has been happening to our forest? It's only been three years. I feel like Rip Van Winkle.

    Shokichi: We did everything we could to try to stop it.

    Bunta: Every inch of the woods has changed. How could the land be so transformed?

    Tamasaburô: We're so sorry. This must come as quite a shock.

    Bunta: So the humans did it themselves?

    Kiyo: [crying] That's right. They transformed all of Tama Hills.

    Bunta: But how? Only raccoons should be able to do that. We're the only ones!

    [He rushes off and shouts at the city]

    Bunta: Who do you think you are, you stupid humans? Raccoons are the ones who transform things. How can you do this? How can you do this?

    [He sinks to his knees and beats the ground]

    Bunta: The only way this makes sense is if all you humans are raccoons! You're all stupid, evil, selfish raccoons!

    [He sobs and howls]
