#23: Viktor Navorski – The Terminal

The wrinkled suit, the tired posture, and that confused expression say it all—this anime version of Tom Hanks as Viktor Navorski from The Terminal captures the exhaustion and quiet resilience of a man stuck somewhere in between. He’s standing in an airport, but it’s clear he’s not going anywhere, at least not yet.

The bags at his feet feel less like luggage and more like part of the weight he’s carrying. Even in this stylized form, there’s a softness to him—polite, overwhelmed, but still trying to hold it together. It’s awkward, a little sad, and somehow still hopeful.
