A community of magical shape-shifting raccoon dogs struggle to prevent their forest home from being destroyed by urban development.
Written and directed by Isao Takahata, this is such a funny and weird movie! Raccoons transforming in humans, transforming their balls into bridges, or other various things, this movie is bonkers from start to finish. While it features the suspension of disbelief in a lot of regards, the end result is an incredibly entertaining movie that will put a lot of smiles on your face, while drawing attention to its environmentalist story. I’m somehow happy I didn’t know about this until now, it made the first watch so enjoyable! Six popcorns.
