Kawa no Hikari is very similar to Ponpoko (Pom Poko). Both have an environmental message that points to how mankind's industrialization can have devastating effects on wildlife. Furthermore, they take place in beautiful natural scenery, accompanied by great art, and involve the journey of non-human animals. Kawa no Hikari is a bit more poetic since the source material, a novel, was written by a reputable author.
