I love that kind of earthy touch to Miyazaki. There's something so comforting about this movie.

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."
