Adorable pro-environment, anti-development animation feature, with a hint of anti-capitalism. Eminently watchable.

Pom Poko is one of the more unique Studio Ghibli films, with a ton of unpredictable WTF moments without straying too far from its mostly family-friendly reputation as an animated film. Seek it out, embrace the ridiculousness, and witness a bunch of raccoons adapt to life’s hardships by folding and stretching their teabags like a master origamist. https://bit.ly/CoonPouch
