Studio Ghibli continues to whittle away at bringing out their movies on Blu-ray and the latest one to get the announcement is Pom Poko, which by appearances looks to be worked on from a 4K remaster for it. The film is getting a November 6th release in Japan and is setting up for what will be an eventual worldwide rollout as well with how they’re producing it similar to other Ghibli films where it has multiple languages (English, French, Korean, Chinese (such as Cantonese, Mandarin) and Japanese, English, French , German, Korean, Chinese (Traditional – Cantonese), Chinese (Traditional, Mandarin) subtitles.

The feature will be priced at 7140 yen.

The release will feature Japanese (2.0ch Surround / DTS- HD Master Audio TM (lossless)) (2.0ch Surround / Dolby Digital) English, French, German, Finnish, Korean, Mandarin (2.0ch stereo / Dolby Digital) Cantonese languages, will include picture-in-picture with the main video, storyboards, dubbing script to talk and another fourteen minute special.

Plot concept: POM POKO is a tale of the clash between modern civilization and the natural world. The Raccoons of the Tama Hills are being forced from their homes by the rapid development of houses and shopping malls. As it becomes harder to find food and shelter, they decide to band together and fight back. The Raccoons practice and perfect the ancient art of transformation until they are even able to appear as humans. In often hilarious ways, the Raccoons use their powers to try to scare off the advancement of civilization. But will it be enough? Or will the Raccoons learn how to live in balance with the modern world?
