Why the 'trash panda' is always the best part of any movie...
This crafty animal may usually act as a sidekick or a supporting character, but the recognizably cute and cheeky raccoon is always a memorable figure in movies across many genres. From the biscuit-loving Meeko in Pocahontas to the quick-witted Rocket Raccoon in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy films — of which Vol. 3 was recently released — these characters always stand out and enhance the film with an injection of satisfying mischief.
So, in 1995, when Meeko — whose critter noises were voiced by John Kassir — was introduced as one of the furry sidekicks in Pocahontas, his quirks as the perpetually hungry petty thief were instantly recognizable. Being non-verbal, he is a more grounded and realistic portrayal of a raccoon than some of the other examples in movies but still has many enjoyably cartoonish ways.
Rocket more than makes up for what he lacks in stature in grit and humor, often serving as the comedic relief in the Marvel movies he appears in. He is a comedian among many other hilarious characters and holds his own with his specific brand of blunt comedy. With snappy one-liners and frank commentary, he casts a light of truth, without making the scene too heavy.
The Raccoon Quietly Steals The Show "Raccacoonie," is perhaps one of the most fantastical and bizarre parts of Everything Everywhere All At Once, a film which features many incredible oddities as Evelyn fights to evade and then ultimately save an evil multi-verse version of her daughter Joy . Despite this, the Raccacoonie scenes became a surprisingly tender part of the movie.
