"Tokyo Godfathers" was created by Satoshi Kon, who also directed "Millennium Actress", a film that I absolutely adored. The concept of "Tokyo Godfathers" is less obscure and abstract than "Millenuunium Actress," and some might say less accomplished. It is however a very entertaining feel-good movie. Set around the time of Christmas, the movie centers around three hobos that include a middle-aged d... read more

"First Viewing Plot: On Christmas Eve, three homeless people living on the streets of Tokyo discover a newborn baby among the trash and set out to find its parents. Here's another eclectic addition to this December's diverse selection of festive titles; an animated Japanese movie set during the Christmas period. I found this while doing some cursory Googling to assemble this year's lineup, and I couldn't pass it up due to the glowing reviews and esteemed reputation; I mean, there are even cinem"

Movies I Watched in December 2020 (51 movies items)

" Date: 12/24/2020 Viewed: Blu-Ray Re-Watch Note: I wanted to revisit Tokyo Godfathers for a while now and Gkids finally released this movie on Blu-Ray.

Tokyo Godfathers has three memorable main characters that are very likable and funny. This movie knows how to tell a heartwarming story with serious elements and "
