You should check it out, it's definitely a silly lighthearted children's movie about folklore-inspired tanuki with big balls, and not about the ever increasing encroachment of civilization and the effects it has on the environment! 😌
isn't there a big thing in Japanese culture where tanookis have huge balls (not figuratively)
::: spoiler very unrelated tangent (a tangent tangent?)
I want to just say 'literally' but 'literally' now means 'literally (figuratively)' and saying 'literally literally' is more awkward than saying 'not figuratively' but saying 'not figuratively' makes grammar nerds angry at me so I added this random tangent to sate the grammar nerds
::: spoiler about your tangent
Wouldn't 'quite literally' be sufficient to get across the intended meaning of literally? Bear in mind, I'm not a native speaker so I have no clue if this is generally accepted.

It's a solid movie about the tanuki fighting off human expansion into their habitat, by using their balls as weapons

Not just weapons but means of travel and air transportation. Glider balls ftw

The parade of ghosts is one of my favorite scenes in any Ghibli movie

Balls to the walls is also a good summary of this movie

Underrated Ghibli.
The ending is very melancholy (not that that's unusual with Ghibli).

Didn't the shrine this is based on eventually get shutdown?
Edit: actually it didn't https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZzDNUirttcQTMMRS7
