From the late-director Satoshi Kon and Shogo Furuya, comes the light-hearted anime Tokyo Godfathers.
Based around themes of family, forgiveness and twists of fate, the film is beautifully animated to emphasize on the emotions and expressions of these quirky, yet lovable characters. This is a Christmas themed film so expect the schmaltz to be played heavily. Especially near the end. Just when you think it can't get anymore melodramatic, it does. Then does it again and again.
It's packed with enough laughs, original action pieces and a refreshing group of characters to be forgiven.
3½ "12-25"'s out of 5

Yup. 3½ magical synchronicities out of 5 from me. I like how it all weaves together by the end. It's an unusual one for Kon - unusual in that it's kind of normal
