Review of Tokyo Godfathers (2003) by Pras S — 20 Feb 2009
Tokyo Godfathers is a sweet little movie about three homeless folks who happen upon a baby in a Tokyo trash dumpster, its mainly about families -- lost, found, and invented. It's not your normal subject for Japanese Animation, which sets it apart right away.
Director Satoshi Kon proves that a cartoon can truly have as much -- perhaps even more -- depth and soul as any live-action film. It's a modern-day fable with a big heart, reminding us that every human can have value, even if you don't have an address.
