Tokyo Godfathers

"Harrowing and heartwarming."

"A well-told story, forged on vision and delivered with heart."

"Has echoes of Chaplin and Capra."

"Has just enough astringent touches to keep it from sliding into sloppy sentimentality."

"Demonstrates an idiosyncratic human touch. Kon is unafraid of the unseemly and unsightly."

"A modern-day fable with a big heart..."

"Takes anime to a whole new level."

"Japanese animator Satoshi Kon has a striking sense of composition, but I'm more impressed by his storytelling skills."

"No amount of shoehorned-in razzle-dazzle can keep this forced fable from feeling like a shadow of Kon's early work."
