But not an amazing one though, for me the first 30 or so minutes are amazing, the documentary style narration and I loved to see this slice of these raccoons lives, how they interact and live. But after sometime it gets a little boring, the story itself isn't anything to write home about, and that's why I think this would work a lot better if it was a short movie. I would gladly watch a 30 minute short documentary(ish) piece about these raccons.
But as it is the film is good nonetheless, the Ghibli qualoty is here, there are absolutely gorgeous scenes here, the animation is flawless, the comedy is good, and it has lovable characters, I just felt that the story didn't held up that good throughout the film...
Overall Pom Poko is a good experience, and if you're a Ghibli fan I would absolutely recomend this movie.
