Remembers the lovely  Tanukis ?

Those guys were also the heroes of POMPOKO, a Takahata Isao movie from 1984, taking place in the sixties in a forest destroyed to build… buildings.

There’s also some yokai that make guest starring…

And so Totoro does !

Yeah, I know, you wanna see it on the story board, ok, I give it to you…

Some weird outfits are used by the tanukis to infiltrate the humans :

But they’re more heroic using their big bollocks (the french translation was “roustons” in the subtitles I saw and I find this word cute, btw)

This movie is a “chant du cygne” from the wild life in Japan, devoured by modern construction, and give us those kind of pictures (tiny caterpillars truck eating a leaf)

Briefly, it’s a 2 hours epic movies with big bollocks, mad racoons, stupid humans and gigantic battles between animals.

And yokais… runnig on a rainbow.
