pom poko is one of the BEST
one of the best, certainly in the top half of my list of Ghibli movies. It is soooo hard to make a comedy that appeals to everybody, which I guess is why "Princess Mononoke" has such a high rating, as it just does action/thriller and that's it. Pom Poko is better imho, and to have a lower score for pom poko than pocco rosso? pocco rosso is so two dimensional. It feels like it was a two page script that they padded to make it long enough. Don't get me wrong, It's a good movie which I enjoy, but it's just a bit of... something light, when you don't want to follow a complex plot. Pom Poko is just chock-a-block. And the narration reminds me of hitch hikers guide or something. It's freakin hilarious.
maybe the humour is more british than american or something so it's not rated well? I just don't get it.
