Tokyo Godfathers
Description
Middle-aged has-been Gin, aging transvestite Hana, and teenage runaway Miyuki are three homeless friends who have formed a kind of makeshift family structure. One night, they find an abandoned baby while searching for food in a garbage dump. Hana convinces the others to keep it overnight. The next day, using a key found with the baby, they start tracking down the parents, with many adventures along the way.

Demonstrates an idiosyncratic human touch. Kon is unafraid of the unseemly and unsightly.February 09, 2016
Hana tends to swoon into stereotype, her theatricality and campiness infecting the other non-hetero characters here, with so many of them wailing or sobbing. The story's comedy and pathos can be similarly overwrought, too.December 06, 2005
It's a modern-day fable with a big heart...December 09, 2013
Tokyo Godfathers becomes a clever and well-written parody of Christ's nativity.December 09, 2013
A likeably larky Yuletide yarn.March 25, 2004
One of the most moving, enjoyable and wholly unconventional Christmas stories to come along in a long time.December 09, 2013
No amount of shoehorned-in razzle-dazzle can keep this forced fable from feeling like a shadow of Kon's early work.December 07, 2007
The score grates in places but the script hits the mark, with the potty-mouthed vagrants certain to be a hit with older children.February 17, 2012
Japanese animator Satoshi Kon has a striking sense of composition, but I'm more impressed by his storytelling skills.

Depois do brilhante Millenium Actress, Kon conta uma história bem mais simples, mas igualmente tocante e mágica, brindando o público com uma belíssima animação de tirar o fôlego.September 07, 2008
Takes anime to a whole new level.December 09, 2013
In one sense the plot involves returning stolen goods to a thief, but Tokyo Godfathers is really about longing -- for family, for children, for parents and for the lost past.
