Tokyo Godfathers [Blu-ray]

I love the art style animation and I love this story. It is fun but had sad parts in the movie. I will keep watching this movie over and over to pass the time.

Arrived in time for Christmas and watching it will be a yearly tradition from now on. We just happened to hear about it somewhere and I’m glad we did. Absolutely wonderful movie. 10/10.

Tho not a big holiday celebrator I think it's fun to have small traditions you make yourself.This has quickly become a movie I like to rewatch every Christmas season and it really is a heart warming, feel good story.

It's a holiday movie worth watching. I just like how everything ties well. Better to watch to see what I mean.

I love Satoshi Kon and wasn't expecting this to be as charming as it was. Such a sweet story with a silly cast. A cute, and slightly sad slice of life with just a little Christmas magic thrown in. One of my favorite animes!

It's a bit off the wall, but it's charming and fun.

I had always heard about Tokyo godfathers from a friend of mine, who is big into anime. He watched it every Christmas so I finally decided to get a copy for myself. Usually I do find Japanese storytelling a little different from what I’m used to, but this was a very good straightforward if a little ridiculous at times film. It manages to address themes of homelessness, family, forgiveness, and even the Christmas miracles. I never thought I would say that a Japanese anime would be a great addition to the Christmas collection, but this one would be.

In contrast to "Paprika" and "Perfect Blue", this film doesn't tap into the surreal as his other films yet keeps it grounded with its human characters in a genuine way. His handling of the main characters being homeless (some by choice) tackles its subject point blank while retaining its humanity. Learning each of thier stories reinforces the holiday timeframe about the importance of gratitude. The measures the characters went through for the infant to find its parents can be a tear jerker I wasn't expecting. A worthy addition to collect and aptly fitting to get around Christmas.
