Taking its inspiration from a John Ford western (1948’s Three Godfathers starring John Wayne), Satoshi Kon’s TOKYO GODFATHERS finds three unhoused people discovering an abandoned baby on a snowy Christmas Eve in Tokyo. The unlikely trio sets out on a quest through the frequently hostile and unfriendly streets in a noble attempt to track down the baby’s parents.
