Pom Poko
When a community of shape‑shifting raccoons bands together to thwart relentless urban developers threatening their forest home, they must master ancient magic and outwit human greed before their world is erased forever.
“A Fantastic Tale Of Survival”
Synopsis
In the Tama Hills, a group of raccoons faces displacement due to the rapid construction of homes and shopping centers. As their access to food and shelter diminishes, they unite to resist these changes. Through practice and refinement, the raccoons master the ancient skill of transformation, eventually achieving the ability to take on human forms, often leading to amusing situations.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 32
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
