Why people love it

People revisit Pom Poko for the same reason it broke through in 1994: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a animation rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Isao Takahata keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The adventure and animation blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
