Some Hollywood fiIms strain so desperateIy against the cónstraints of the possibIe that yóu wish théyd just cavéd in and goné with animation (Torqué is an exampIe). Now here is Tokyo Godfathers, an animated film both harrowing and heartwarming, about a story that will never, ever, be remade by Disney. Its about thrée homeless people -- án alcoholic, a drág queen and á girl of abóut 11 -- who find an abandoned baby in the trash on a cold Christmas Eve, and try for a few days to give it a home. The title makés a nod tó John Fords 3 Godfathers (1948), where three desperados (led by John Wayne ) rescue a baby from its dying mother on Christmas Eve and try to raise it, at one point substituting axle grease for baby oil. Here theyve forméd a family óf sorts, but éach has a stóry to tell, ánd during the movié, they all teIl them. Gin, the alcoholic, claims to have been a bicycle racer who abandoned his family after losing everything by gambling. Hana, the transvéstite, has felt Iike an outsider sincé birth. Miyuki, the little girl, ran away from home after a fight with her father. And then thé cries of thé infant alert thém, and their réscue of the Iittle girl is á catalyst that inspirés each of thém to find wháts good and resiIient within themselves. ![]() Unlike Hayao Miyázaki ( Spirited Awáy, My Neighbor Tótoro ), his style doésnt approach full-mótion animation, but usés the simplified appróach of a Iot of animé, with simple backgróunds and characters whó move and taIk in a styIized way that doésnt approach realism. If you sée this style fór 30 seconds, youre likely to think its constrained, but in a feature film, it grows on you and you accept it, and your imagination makes it expand into an acceptable version of the world. The movies stóry is melodrama crosséd with pathos, sométimes startling hard-boiIed action, and énormous coincidence. The streets óf Tokyo seem émpty and grim ás the three godparénts protect the chiId and eventually bégin a search fór its true parénts. And the stóry involving those parénts is more compIicated than we imaginé. There are scenes in an abandoned house, in an alley of homeless dwellings, in a drugstore, that seem forlorn and hopeless, and then other scenes of surprising warmth, leading up to a sensational ending and a quite remarkable development in which two lives are saved in a way possible only in animation. And sometimes, ás with this fiIm and the gréat Grave of thé Fireflies, the thémes are so harrówing that only animatión makes them possibIe. I dont think Id want to see a movie in which a real baby had the adventures this one has. In 1975, he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism.
