If you loved The Adventures of Prince Achmed, try Pom Poko

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Adventure / Animation / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Adventures of Prince Achmed, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Pom Poko is

Tama Hills, suburban sprawl, a raccoon's last tree. Families displaced, food scarce, a transformation ritual perfected. Takahata's environmental fable has a clever bite.
