Pom Poko follows a community of tanuki, shape-shifting raccoon-like animals native to Asia, whose forest home near Tokyo is threatened by a large construction project that is steadily destroying their habitat. Banding together, the tanuki turn to their traditional talent for transformation and mischief to resist the development. Two of the most accomplished shapeshifters are dispatched to Shikoku to seek the aid of three sages, while the rest of the group disrupts the building site, first through accidents and later by haunting it. As the humans prove stubbornly persistent, the tanuki are pushed toward increasingly drastic measures in an effort to protect their home and way of life.
