Pom Poko

A group of tanuki in Japans forest are threatened by a suburban development project, causing them to unite and use their illusion skills to sabotage the construction, but their efforts are undermined and their unity crumbles, leading to different strategies and ultimately the tanuki blending into human society or struggling to survive in small parks, until one former tanuki rejoins the group and the story ends with a plea for humans to be considerate of animals and their habitats.
