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.

One of my favorite animated movies, managing to combine serious issues with equal amounts of humor and gravitas.

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.

A spellbinding piece of Japanese anime from one of the form's new masters, director-writer Satoshi Kon.

An animated film both harrowing and heartwarming, about a story that will never, ever, be remade by Disney.
