In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing TOKYO GODFATHERS (2003) which is currently available on YouTube/Tubi/PlutoTV. The screenplay is by Keiko Nobumoto, from a story and directed by the late Satoshi Kon. The story follows three homeless people, with complex and layered backgrounds and personas but have found common ground of sorts and formed their own family. They come upon an abandoned baby on Christmas Eve and embark on a quest to reunite the baby and her parents. What follows is pure magic in storytelling and should not be missed - this is definitely a MUST WATCH. The film is rated PG-13 and clocks in at 1 h 32 m. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
