Tokyo Godfathers shows the adventures of three vagrants who find an abandoned baby on Christmas and try to track down the clues to return it to its parents. The three heroes here are a man who ruined himself with gambling, a young runaway girl who insists she never wants to go back home to her parents, and a transvestite.

Sometimes an animation is the best way to convey a story, and I think this is one of those times. If this movie had been live-action, I would probably be more annoyed with some characters and less sympathetic towards others.

The movie is a lot more touching than I expected it to be. It actually has great themes of responsibility, family, love, and forgiveness. The story could easily take place in just about any country, and the main characters are universal as well.

It's filled with a lot of odd laughs, unexpected excitement, and really sincere moments. I really enjoyed it.
