Tokyo Godfathers is the story of society's outcasts who find an abandoned child on Christmas. They take in the child and scrounge up what food and support they can. While the idea and conceptual theme is that of the classic Christmas story it is also an essay on the humanity and kindness lost to witness through poverty and alternative lifestyles. The outcasts are a struggle to find high regard for, despite their unselfishness and kindness, which makes the characters a little too small for the big britches of the themes.
