Pom Poko

Pom Poko is so delightfully weird, and jam-packed with oddities, that it's never dull, even if it is sometimes a little too disturbing for its own good.

Its ecological concerns, nuance and occasional lyricism place it squarely within the Ghibli oeuvre but not among its masterpieces.

Pom Poko might fly under the radar for most when it comes to the works of Studio Ghibli, but really should be considered one of their best works.

It is a source of countless jokes, visual and verbal, which in the end make up what one would highlight in the first instance of a movie that runs at the rhythm of vertigo and whose two hours flies. [Full Review in Spanish]

It never takes itself too seriously and the animation alone is worth a watch.

Pom Poko isn't regarded as one of the tent poles of the Studio Ghibli canon, though it deserves to be.

A consistently and thoroughly interminable animated endeavor...

Anime tale with environmental message; some peril, sadness.

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.

An excellent contribution to Ghibli's legacy of pro-environment fables about the magic of the natural world and the emptiness of crowded cities.
