What's left behind the scenes

  • In 1995, the film was submitted by Japan for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. This was the first time in Oscar history that an animated film was nominated in this category.
  • The film became the highest-grossing film in Japan at the end of its 1994 run.
  • Tanuki are the largest of the wild animals commonly found in Japan. They are currently on the verge of extinction. In addition to Japan, tanuki also live in Korea and China, as well as in the Russian Far East (the Ussuri River basin). In 1934, tanuki were introduced to the European part of the USSR, and now their habitat extends to Western Europe.
  • Heisei is the period of Emperor Akihito's reign. It began in 1989. Pom Poko is a period in the history of tanuki. Tanuki make the "pom-poko" sound when they drum on their full bellies.
  • The word "tanuki" is often translated as "badger" or "raccoon." This is incorrect. Raccoon dogs belong to the canine family.
  • When creating the visual design of the tanuki, Isao Takahata drew inspiration, among other things, from the popular manga by Shigeru Sugiura, "808 Tanuki" [808 Tanuki].
  • The meetings of the Tanuki Salvation Committee echo the well-known meetings of Japanese socialist organizations from the late 1960s, as depicted by Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata.
  • The West Tokyo Tanuki Salvation Committee genuinely exists, although tanuki are not members. It is actually headed by Kuwahara Noriko. Isao Takahata actively consulted with this organization while making the film. Besides tanuki, the committee also cares for raccoons and other animals inhabiting this rapidly developing region.
