Synopsis
Fathom Events and GKIDS bring Tokyo Godfathers, the acclaimed holiday classic from master director Satoshi Kon (Paprika, Perfect Blue), back to theaters in a brand-new digital restoration. On Christmas Eve, three homeless companions stumble upon a baby girl in a garbage heap. They name her Kiyoko, and vow to care for her as they track down her family. Haunted by memories of their own broken pasts and pursued by a cast of shadowy characters from Tokyo’s nightlife, they overcome their differences and learn to trust one another as a new, makeshift family. With the New Year fast approaching, the mystery behind baby Kiyoko deepens, and these unlikely heroes discover the surprising connections that have brought them all together. Co-written by Keiko Nobumoto (Cowboy Bebop) and featuring a whimsical score by Keiichi Suzuki, Tokyo Godfathers is a masterpiece by turns heartfelt, hilarious and highly original, a tale of hope and redemption in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

Such a great movie. I wasn’t really expecting much but I loved it! It was funny and emotional at the same time. Also I got to hear Spanish in an anime movie! I love when shows and movies do that. It helps me connect with the movie a little more and I really loved it. Not to mention that this movie had my heart thumping at times. I wasn’t expecting it to have action that would have me on the edge of my seat.

It's a touching movie that, like the best animes, transcends the limitations of the genre.

With its masterful grasp of comedy, pathos, social commentary and mystical weirdness, Tokyo Godfathers takes anime to a whole new level.
