Tokyo Godfathers, another masterpiece by the late Satoshi Kon, is an amazing romp through Japan as three transients attempt to find a dumpster baby's mother. It's got the hilarious hijinks of a Yakuza game mixed with the symbolism and exceptionalism Kon is known for.

Tokyo Godfathers is one of the few anime Christmas movies you'll ever find. It's fun, hilarious, and also soul warming and heart breaking all at the same time. Plus if you know anything about Satoshi Kon and his work, you know he doesn't leave a single scene in a film without purpose, and Tokyo Godfathers is no different. The film is a phenomenal watch if you're looking for a fun and progressive holiday movie, but under the hood there's so much going on, so many instances of symbolism, of things that connect that you might be missing. It's a strange movie for Kon considering his other works, yet it might be one of his best.
