POM POKO is a dubbed Japanese animated comedy adventure from 1994 in which tribes of raccoons from across Japan unite in an attempt to save their habitats from human encroachment.
violence
Rival tribes of raccoons assume human characteristics as they battle each other using sticks as weapons, which are also deployed in a confrontation with actual humans. The violence is mild and without injury detail.
threat and horror
There are moments of mild threat, including a scene in which the raccoons have to make a hurried escape from an abandoned house which they have made their home when a mechanical digger starts knocking it down. In another scene, a sabotaged truck skids off a road an plunges down a cliff. There are also scary scenes in which the raccoons, who have shape-shifting abilities, turn into human beings with featureless faces or into fantastical creatures and giant skeletons.
rude humour
There is a passing reference to "swinging balls". In another scene, the testicles of raccoons expand in comical fashion and are used as weapons.
additional issues
There is brief sight of blood in the aftermath of a raccoon being run down by a car.
