We are pleased to host Ghibli Sundays in the 100-year-old Rivoli Theater, come by for a beautiful experience of these animated masterworks, our seventh film is Pom Poko:

"Pom Poko (Japanese: 平成狸合戦ぽんぽこ) is a 1994 Japanese animated fantasy film written and directed by Isao Takahata, animated by Studio Ghibli for Tokuma Shoten, Nippon Television Network and Hakuhodo, and distributed by Toho. An environmental allegory, the story features tanuki, or Japanese raccoon dogs (incorrectly referred to as "raccoons" in the English dialog). In Japanese folklore, tanuki are considered to be magical creatures, capable of shape-shifting into people or other objects. They are a highly sociable, mischievous species, too fun-loving and fond of tasty treats to be a real threat – unlike kitsune (foxes) and other shape-shifters." - Wikipedia
