Audience Reviews

badelf 6/10 Dec 13, 2024
Adorable pro-environment, anti-development animation feature, with a hint of anti-capitalism. Eminently watchable.
Chris Sawin 8/10 Mar 27, 2026
Pom Poko is one of the more unique Studio Ghibli films, with a ton of unpredictable WTF moments without straying too far from its mostly family-friendly reputation as an animated film. Seek it out, embrace the ridiculousness, and witness a bunch of raccoons adapt to life’s hardships by folding and stretching their teabags like a master origamist.
