I think it had very pretty animations, just for the record I am a huge fan of Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. So already I had high hopes for this film. And I must say it is no way one of Ghibli's best, and I think you may have guessed that by the IMBD mark maybe. But even if the any Ghibli movie PLOT doesn't appeal to you, you still have that beautiful animation with all sorts of amazing stories behi... read more

Un filme con conceptos sumamente interesantes y elementos que pudieron haber desarrollado un clásico de la animación, sin embargo, hay varios puntos en Pom Poko que hacen que no sea una buena película.
Primeramente, la película gasta demasiado tiempo en cosas cotidianas y rutinas que se vuelven repetitivas, como los son los mapaches asustando a los humanos. Sí, lo entiendo, los mapaches... read more

Not a favourite, but a very good film regardless

Pompoko is a touch too long, but it is still a very good film with an environmentalist message that is quite hard-hitting yet never feels overplayed. For Ghibli, it is quite ambitious and quite different, this is not a bad thing at all, quite the contrary, and while not their best it has the elements that makes their films so pleasing. The animation is once again stunning, and the music is hauntin... read more

“Pompoko is a touch too long, but it is still a very good film with an environmentalist message that is quite hard-hitting yet never feels overplayed. For Ghibli, it is quite ambitious and quite different, this is not a bad thing at all, quite the contrary, and while not their best it has the elements that makes their films so pleasing. The animation is once again stunning, and the music is haunting, beautiful and quite evocative. The dialogue is good on the whole, perhaps the odd stilted moment but it is thought-provoking and intelligent, while the story and characters are engaging enough and the voice work as always is excellent. Not a classic, but definitely worth a look. 8/10 Bethany Cox” read more

“Un filme con conceptos sumamente interesantes y elementos que pudieron haber desarrollado un clásico de la animación, sin embargo, hay varios puntos en Pom Poko que hacen que no sea una buena película.

Primeramente, la película gasta demasiado tiempo en cosas cotidianas y rutinas que se vuelven repetitivas, como los son los mapaches asustando a los humanos. Sí, lo entiendo, los mapaches asustan a los humanos, no necesito media película de montajes de eso, que media película es una hora.

También la película es algo incongruente en muchos aspectos. Se entienden como poderes de los mapaches que pueden convertirse en varios elementos y después se establece que también pueden volverse invisibles. Sin embargo, al final de la película hacen aparecer objetos de la n” read more
