Loosely inspired by John Ford's 3 Godfathers, this Japanimation sees three homeless pals finding an abandoned baby in the trash on Christmas Eve. The realist edge is blunted by an absurd pile-up of plot coincidences, but this is still a likeably larky Yuletide yarn (if not a patch on writer-director Satoshi Kon's earlier Perfect Blue).
