a bit weird, but cute.
The Raccoon Song:
Child: Mr. Raccoon, Mr. Raccon, won't you play with me somehow?
Raccoon: No i can't, i'm eating dinner now.
Child: What's for dinner, I want some
Raccoon: I am eating Pickled Plums
Child: Can't I have a little crumb?
Raccoon: Don't be such a greedy bum GET YOUR OWN -

The tone of this film is very similiar to Happy Feet but with ten times more imagination. Therefore you're enjoying yourself with the wonderful visuals and characters WHILE being told that cutting down forests and polluting rivers is bad.
-
MCT:September 2, 2008My absolute favorite Ghibli film, and for good reason. This contains genitalia shapeshifters, party-down raccoons, and laugh-out-loud moments involving the great battle between humans and umm..... they.
-
MCT:July 11, 2008Hehehe. They have balls. Another wonderful ecologist movie by the Ghibli people. Not perfect because it's a bit too long, but it's amazing anyway.
-
MCT:May 26, 2008Ok so one of the more random of the studio Ghibli, this flim defernetly made me jump and also made me laugh with there transforming skills.
-
MCT:May 7, 2008In my opinion the worst Studio Ghibli release. And there's a lot more wrong with this movie than the gigantic raccoon testicle attack. No, its not as cool as it sounds.

its capable to make kids love it because of its comic story line but the topic that the movie shows is more mature and for adults as it shows that animals are as important as humans are
-
MCT:February 3, 2008Even though my best friend said, "Look beyond yourself to see the raccoon," I'm not interested in watching a movie about them. They're creepy.
-
MCT:January 18, 2008Its wildly imaginative and deals with an interesting subject but for some reason this film just didn't resonate with me the way that other Ghibli films have.
Maybe my expectations were too high but I felt very let down by this film. And by the way, they are Tanuki not racoons!!(18.1.08) -
MCT:January 5, 2008
Did you know that tanuki's have big hard nuts that they can whack you on the head with? That's what I learned after watching this flick!

A strange film to watch. I mean I know how strange these sets of films are, but I love that about them. But not used to changing raccoons. It's another environmental film. But seem to be lacking a few things...

Oh, this is so funny! Everyone should see it, but prepare yourselves for raccons with attitude and balls of steel. *giggle*

Very funny, though serious at times. A story about magical shapeshifting raccoons, can be too overpowering, but Isao Takahata has mastered this. The storyline is brilliant and smooth, and the end scene is sad because the forest is gone, but happy because Shoukichi meets Ponkichi again.

I believe this is one of Studio Ghibli's weakest anime feature film, but that's no excuse to not watch it. Absolutely all Studio Ghibli films are artistic tour de force compared to most anime offerings, and 'Ponpoko' is no exception. Although the tanuki (racoons) are not human, it is not difficult to relate and have fun watching them, as if they were just survivors from an isolated and older Japan trying to adapt to modern life in the Heisei era. And they are cuddly if not for their huge erm... 'pouches'. :)

This is a fantastic movie, filled with adventure, humor and sadness and strong messages about the environment and human existance.
-
MCT:July 11, 2007
great storytelling!! one of the great movies you probably missed, not a mere cartoon.. could better than spirited away in terms of storyline, in my opinion.
-
MCT:July 6, 2007
The transformation scenes were amazing, but I think the rest of the film was too cute for me, scrotums aside.

This inventive ghibli film documents the secret life of raccoons and their struggle to save the woods that they live in. Full of hilarious moments and a strong environmental message, but it does seem to be a bit long though.
-

Not only a great film for the anime lover but also a turtor on the effects of deforestation and an Advocte of enviornmental preservation

Isao Takahata's lavishly animated comedy-drama about raccoons fighting for their forest may be a little too foreign and confusing for casual viewers, but its gorgeous artwork and meaningful story make it a must-see for Studio Ghibli fans. Aside from Jonathan Taylor Thomas, the Disney dub casts performers known for their typical cartoon acting; including the great Tress MacNeille, all who give their characters a lively, yet natural spirit. The difficult translation by writers Cindy and Donald H. Hewitt (which includes making the Japanese folk songs in the movie work for English speaking audiences) is outstanding to behold.

Really funny to watch the raccoons train up their magical stamina. Really funny to see them come up with hilarious plans to get back at humans. Although I picked out a handful of favourite characters from the hoards onscreen, I felt that they could have done the story more justice if they had focused particularly on one or two of the raccoons' character growth and development over the course of their journey. Good for a laugh on a slow Sunday afternoon.

Wildly inventive and magical movie. It's a bit weird in parts (especially all that stuff about tanuki testicles), but very creative and fun, even though the environmental message is a bit heavy-handed.
-

what a great movie yes it was lacking magical elements as miyazaki but still quite well nice story overall good animation!! nice ending!! love animals anyway!! I'M all for it!!

(Viewed Japanese Version) Leave it to a Ghibli production to expertly run the gamut between wondrously silly and crushingly sad. By the way, they're raccoon-dogs, not raccoons.
