Extras:StoryboardsOriginal Japanese TrailersStudio Ghibli Trailer Reel Review: An unusual Ghibli classic!! - Pom poko is a classics tale of clash between man and nature. Rapid development in the modern world reaches tama hill and the racoons are forced to leave their natural habitat as finding food and shelter becomes harder with each passing day. With nothing seems to be working out for them, racoons decide to unite and scare away the advancement of the modern world by learning traditional art of transforming. Will they be successful in their mission or will they be wiped out by the modern world progress? Will man and nature ever learn to live in harmony? That's what forms the rest of the film in an unusual, emotional and often hilarious ways. Pom poko is directed by another studio ghibli genious Isao takahata who happens to be hayao miyazaki's long time friend and his senior. Pom poko remains studio ghibli's most strange film till date which is in no way lesser rich and intense than any other ghibli films but few contents in the movie may put some viewers off. The movie few frightening images, ghosts, scrotums and a few references of mating here and there. Pom poko contains japanese cultural and traditional references and themes more than any other studio ghibli film. It would have been really interesting to see a feature explaining all those in detail. Pom poko is a comparatively lesser known (to the west) film from studio ghibli which is on par with any of their own fims when it comes to richness and execution of the subject and does not disappoint in anyway. The animation is detailed and flawless and backgrounds lush and breathtaking. Although this dvd is light on extras, yet the disc is definitely worthwhile just for the movie itself. Highly recommended to all studio ghibli fans out there and to everyone else looking for good cinema and great storytelling. Review: One of the best films of Isao Takahata - About the film. The movie by itself is based on popular Japanese folklore about Tanuki (raccoon dogs) as they struggle against the urbanisation of countryside regions of Japan, especially Tama Hills. The director Isao Takahata is famous by his unusual approach to animation, he always experiments with something new in his films. In "Pom Poko" he uses at least three different styles of animation according to situation on the screen: realistic portrayal of animals in their real life, animated humans traditional to anime, and comical representation of emotions more inherent to manga. Nevertheless this strange blending of different styles brings unforgettable feelings of tragicomedy. About the European Blu-ray ediion. It's just the movie. Nothing more (we not count the trailer reel and Storyboards). It's a shame it does not feature the original Extra from Japanese edition - Rakugo about the Tanuki, on which this movie is partially based. Rakugo is a Japanese "one man theatre" where one actor on scene tells and shows long anecdotes about different comical situations. Overall it's a "must see" for all fans of Studio Ghibli and Isao Takahata, it's one of his best works. Moreover visual design for this movie was created by Kazuo Oga, the man who established visual look for all Ghibli films starting from "My Neighbor Totoro" in 1988. You definitely will n otforget its stunning backgrounds and fanciful animation approach. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IIK6CAG | | Best Sellers Rank | 33,656 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 1,043 in Anime (DVD & Blu-ray) 12,021 in Blu-ray | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (775) | | Director | Isao Takahata | | Item model number | OPTBD0292 | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 2.0), Japanese (Dolby Digital 2.0) | | Media Format | Blu-ray, Import, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 2 | | Package Dimensions | 18.03 x 13.76 x 1.48 cm; 83.16 g | | Producers | Toshio Suzuki | | Release date | 14 April 2014 | | Run time | 1 hour and 59 minutes | | Studio | Studiocanal | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Isao Takahata, Toshio Suzuki - **Format:** Blu-ray, Import, Widescreen - **Language:** Japanese - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 59 minutes - **Studio:** StudioCanal ## Images ![Pom Poko [Blu-ray] [Region B] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YM5Y4DFhL.jpg) ![Pom Poko [Blu-ray] [Region B] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Q3Ex197pL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unusual Ghibli classic!! *by T***E on 12 October 2006* Pom poko is a classics tale of clash between man and nature.
