Constant with Japanese mythology, the tanuki (Japanese raccoon pet dogs, Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus) are represented as a highly friendly, troublesome species, who have the ability to use "impression science" to transform into almost anything, yet also fun-loving and also keen on tasty deals with to be a genuine danger-- unlike the kitsune (foxes) as well as other shape-shifters. Aesthetically, the tanuki in this film are portrayed in 3 unique methods at different times: as reasonable animals, as anthropomorphic animals that sometimes use garments, and as cartoon-like figures based on the manga of Shigeru Sugiura (of which Takahata is a terrific fan). They have the tendency to assume their realistic type when seen by human beings, their cartoon-like type when they are doing something outlandish or whimsical, and their humanlike type in any way various other times.
Prominent testicles are an important part of tanuki folklore, and also they are revealed and also described throughout the film, and also utilized frequently in their shape-shifting. This continues to be unmodified in the DVD release, though the English dub (however not the subtitles) refers to them as "raccoon pouches". Likewise, in the English dub as well as captions, the animals are never ever described as "raccoon pet dogs", which is the a lot more precise English name for the tanuki, rather they are inaccurately referred to as just "raccoons".
The story begins in late 1960s Japan. A group of tanuki are endangered by a gigantic rural development project called New Tama, in the Tama Hills on the borders of Tokyo. The growth is cutting into their woodland habitat and also separating their land. The tale resumes in early 1990s Japan, throughout the very early years of the Heisei period. With restricted space and food reducing every year, the tanuki start combating among themselves for the diminishing sources, however at the advising of the matriarch Oroku ("Old Fireball"), they decide to link to quit the advancement.
Several tanuki lead the resistance, including the aggressive chief Gonta, the old master Seizaemon, the wise-woman Oroku, and also the young and also clever Shoukichi. Utilizing their impression abilities (which they have to re-learn after having overlooked them), they organize a range of diversions consisting of industrial sabotage. These attacks harm as well as eliminate people, frightening building workers right into quitting, yet much more employees instantly change them. In desperation, the tanuki send carriers to seek assistance from different fabulous elders from other areas.
