If you ever watch Pom Poko (and you should), scrota are all over the place.

That one is Studio Ghibli, but not Miyazaki?

I see now that Miyazaki is credited with the idea for the story. I also see that it's about tanukis, which I believe are Japanese raccoons. I know the word from Seijun Suzuki's Princess Raccoon (Operetta tanuki goten), and I just noticed last night while rewatching part of Nausicaa that the evil princess calls her councilor "tanuki", which is translated in the subtitles as "You sly fox."
