Pom Poko

平成狸合戦ぽんぽこ

When a sprawling housing development begins carving up the Tama Hills outside Tokyo, the tanuki who live there watch their forest shrink and their food run out. Under the matriarch Oroku and the hot-headed Gonta, the raccoon dogs relearn their lost art of shapeshifting and stage hauntings, sabotage, and spectral parades to scare the construction crews off their land. The young Shoukichi joins the resistance as the colony argues over how far it can push against a city that keeps expanding.
