Yes I’ve got a dilemma because I watched pom poko recently but think it would be a good film club film. I don’t mind changing my vote closer to 6 if required if you don’t want to break the tie.

Turns out it is an exceedingly gif-able film.
Won’t post more here though in case we do watch it.

If it helps I’m not a fan of animations and probably won’t watch Pom Poko

This is a very tough decision with it still being tied.

Short Term 12 I’ve d slays heard really good things about, has a hell of a cast, laelfy will watch it. A more serious option.

Pom Poko is hilarious and affecting (like genuinely heart-rending in places), vibrant and full of so many awesome details and ideas. Also if we are talking casts, I know some are subs purists but the dub is absolutely stellar for this (probs because they went all top tier voice actors rather than bigger stars). I think it would be very fun to watch together with all of you (except not all if laelfy isn’t so keen, but then there is always the bonus Rudy edition…)

I’ll just get R to bed and then try to somehow decide

Think I will watch Pom Poko more than any other film during my life, must be close to the lead already.

it’s now my most watched ghibli film

(also my least favourite - sorry FL)

I understand why it isn’t so widely liked. Jist think it has a whole bunch of heart and humour and I love it for that, and all the folktale references are fun for me also. And the music. Also the voices. The playful tanuki, the tempura obsession… Yeah just everything in iy works for me I guess :sweat_smile:

It is a good thing we didn’t watch Short Term 12 (watching it now, so good but also not good for me)
