My favorite Christmas movie, as well as my favorite anime movie in general.
O Realismo Sensível nos Padrinhos de Tóquio!
A charming, exciting, and wonderful film of a diverse group of people engulfed in wild escapades.
I don't claim to be correct about much of anything here. This is my immediate perspective after my 2nd watch. Thank you

Funny and well-written. A great film worth watching.
The true spirit of Christmas as told by three homeless bums.
An unorthodox take on Christmas that, while far from perfect, still manages to be a good watch.

Classic heap of realism and humanism but could have handled plot devices more efficiently.
