KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS
Kubo and the Two Strings raises the bar for Laika movies, bursting at the seams with gorgeous animation, terrific writing, and wonderful weirdness. Most importantly, Kubo packs several emotional punches that make this latest outing one of Laika’s most heartfelt yet.
Kubo lives a quiet, normal life in a small shoreside village until a spirit from the past turns his life upside down by re-igniting an age-old vendetta. This causes all sorts of havoc as gods and monsters chase Kubo who, in order to survive, must locate a magical suit of armor once worn by his late father, a legendary Samurai warrior.
