We Three ‘Tokyo Godfathers’ (2003)

The Sleepless Cinematic Podcast

Emilio, Julian, and Madeline wrap up their “Holiday Suggestion/Gift Box” mini-cycle with Satoshi Kon’s penultimate work, “Tokyo Godfathers” (2003). Rather than gold, frankincense, and myrrh, our three hosts come bearing different personal histories with the art form of anime. They discuss the benefits and challenges of this storytelling medium, and dive into the burning questions: were the actions that ostracized our protagonists really that bad? What do the serendipitous events of this movie mean? And, of course, could this film have been made as live action?
