I watched this Ghibli cartoon from the mid 90s for the first time today. A very captivating tale of war and survival among raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) it has to be seen to be believed, it is so imaginative, though apparently it is loaded with folkloric references. The opening scenes are great - the creatures are initially drawn realistically on four legs but when they go to battle a rival group they stand up and transform themselves into bipedal creatures that look like Care Bears with samurai armour and weapons. Very strange.
