PomPoko （平成たぬき合戦ぽんぽこ）

This is an Japanese cartoon film that published in 1994.

This movie portrayed the fight for human and Tanuki.

The Tanuki are portrayed as a highly sociable, mischievous species, able to use "illusion science" to transform into almost anything but too fond of tasty treats and too gullible to be a real threat (unlike the wicked kitsune and other shapeshifters).

Visually, the Tanuki are portrayed three ways: the realistic dogs, the "humanoid" form they wear when no one else is looking (this one is based on traditional Japanese good-luck figurines) and the "cartoony" form which they fall into while doing something outlandish or whimsical.

The story takes place in 1960's Japan, where a group of Tanuki is threatened by a gigantic suburban development project outside Tokyo cutting into their forest habitat, terraforming and dividing their land.

The Tanuki begin fighting for the diminishing resources of their habitat, but then decide to unify against the humans to stop the construction.
