Pom Poko - Blu-ray + DVD

Great movie. Love Ghibli!!

This is a classic Ghibli film with a very heart felt and rather sad story. Ghibli has a great balance of hearty happy ending films versus stories modeled after historical or factual events, Pom Poko falls into the latter. Thus, this film can be hard for children to watch as it's even hard for me to witness the death of so many animals - but it's a story that needs to be told and watched again and again, this is why Pom Poko is a must-have film for your collection. It comes with necessarily timed humor and is voiced by several Futurama voice actors for the English version which made me love the film even more. I highly recommend this film, and in blue-ray for the price!

Great little movie

Of the famous Ghibli duo, Takahata is too often the one who remains in the shadow of his colleague Miyazaki. Of all the titles offered by these two giants of Japanese cartoons, Pom Poko is one of my favorites with its superb animation and its symbolism of the situations, during this amusing story of the Tanukis who confront humans to regain their territory. A success without a shadow of a doubt!

This movie is definitely not child appropriate, unless you're okay with your child seeing these Tanukis use magic with their testes. It's a funny movie overall and now me, my husband, and cousin have a great inside joke from this movie!

An interesting Ghibli offering has mythical raccoon dogs see their environment encroached on by humans, they attempt a variety of techniques to stall development and win back their space but ultimately humanity prevails. Bittersweet and somewhat overlong, repeated viewings do increase the eco awareness and the somberness of the subject matter. Have both the GKIDS and Disney BDs, can't recall if the newer release has better subtitles vs. dubtitles. Regardless, the picture quality is very good on the BD.

Gr8 for all ages.

Very unique movie, the kids loved it and had no idea what was going on.

These Shout Factory releases are much better quality than the earlier Universal ones, and the subtitles particularly on this release are much better than the Wildbunch/Netflix ones, which are partially adapted from the original subs and dubs seen here but are true to neither.

Einfach nur ein schöner Anime meiner Meinung nach.

Great movie for kids. A pleasant and entertaining way to familiarize kids with Japanese culture, traditions, and folklore.

一日遅れで到着しました。 二枚組でしたが一枚は録画デッキ、PS4共に再生されませんでした。 PS4では地域を理由に再生できませんでした。 本編ディスクはデッキで見れました。 本編は申し分なくすばらしい内容です。 可愛くて考えさせられて、救いも少しだけですが用意されている映画です。 配送と再生の問題でこの星です。 購入は自己責任で。

Awesome and hilarious!
