Comments on Movie: Pom Poko (1994)
"Pom Poko is weird, peculiar in cultural folklore, superstitions and traditions, but it has heart and moral issues that demand attention. Its unique narrative style, pacing and themes do make it a typical film for kids, yet for the young demography the moral lessons will go a long way." - Le Apprenti, Movie Vault.

"An excellent contribution to Ghibli's legacy of pro-environment fables about the magic of the natural world and the emptiness of crowded cities." - Tim Brayton, Antagony & Ecstasy.

"By no means a particularly good film...But as a cultural curiosity and a showcase for stunningly bizarre animation, there's nothing else quite like it." - Christopher Runyon, Movie Mezzanine.

"Deeply affecting and visually mesmerizing." - MaryAnn Johanson, Flick Filosopher.

"This bittersweet animation is both blissful and depressing as it shows that ultimately nothing can be done to undo the actions of human beings to return the nature back to what it was; even with the Tanukis dying, trying to make a change." - Rosalyn Lim.
