Tokyo Godfathers
Anime legend Satoshi Kon (Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, Paprika) wrote and directed this 2003 action-adventure film inspired by an unlikely source: 1948 John Wayne-starring, John Ford-directed Western 3 Godfathers. It has its own distinct flavor, though, following a trio of unhoused people who discover an infant abandoned on Christmas Eve and have a truly wild time trying to keep it safe while tracking down its parents.
