Pom Poko is another production by Studio Ghibli that dazzled me, and in the first few minutes, the opening song put a genuine smile on my face. I managed to keep that smile on my face for most of the movie, and sometimes I even gave a hearty laugh. The animation is simply wonderful, and the narrative rolls along at a relaxing pace and is quite witty, and so are the main protagonists, who I thought were pretty good. Even though they are fighting a brave but not very equal battle with people, you cannot help but root for them.
