The most amazing movie review ever.

A brief snippet from this review of the Japanese animated film Pom Poko:

Then the raccoons came on the screen and started transforming. That was strange, but not that strange. It was then that I noticed something odd between the legs of the male raccoon characters. It wasn’t until I saw it again a few times that I realized what it was – a scrotum.
Oh yeah, one more thing: It's a Disney movie. At least it's distributed here by the House of Mouse. It's not just about a couple of raccoon sacks either, that's just the beginning. Can't wait to see this flick!

Those aren't raccoons in that movie, they are tanuki. Tanuki are Japanese raccoon-faced dogs. As wikipedia relates,

"The wild tanuki has unusually large testicles, a feature often comically exaggerated in artistic depictions of tanuki. Tanuki may be shown with their testicles flung over their backs like a traveller's pack, or using them as drums."

For more disturbing uses of the tanuki, you can watch this ad for a Japanese construction company.

And you can turn into stone, if you put a tanuki suit on!

Things I learned from Super Mario Bros. 3!

Okay, they're tanuki. We're still using the words "Disney" and "testicles" in the same sentence! Uncle Walt is spinning in his grave, I assure you. :)

I watched that video. Very disturbing. Thanks.
