Description
An unusual animated movie about mischievous magical Japanese Tanuki
(racoon dogs) that are capable of transforming themselves in to
just about anything. When by themselves they bear a strong
resemblance to "Care bears", even wearing some articles of
clothing, but they look like traditional racoons when they want to
(or lose concentration) and often assume human form in order to
scare the encroaching humans away from their habitat. The story
borrows heavily from japanese legend and has only briefly been seen
in the States, in 1995 when it was Japans entry for best foreign
pic. You are unlikely to see it because Disney controls
distribution and the Tanuki have the very undisneyesque feature of
having oversized and prominently displayed "naughty bits". Despite
that it's still a surprisingly funny and entertaining family movie.
