"An excellent anime film and a really fun Christmas movie."—Chris Stuckmann, ChrisStuckmann.com

"Tokyo Godfathers is really about longing -- for family, for children, for parents and for the lost past."—Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

"Takes anime to a whole new level."—Ken Eisner, Variety

Middle-aged alcoholic Gin (Toru Emori), teenage runaway Miyuki (Aya Okamoto) and former drag queen Hana (Yoshiaki Umegaki) are a trio of homeless people surviving as a makeshift family on the streets of Tokyo. While rummaging in the trash for food on Christmas Eve, they stumble upon an abandoned newborn baby in a trash bin. With only a handful of clues to the baby's identity, the three misfits search the streets of Tokyo for help in returning the baby to its parents.
