Kubo and the Two Strings | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

It's a visually striking picture, drawing much of its style from various Japanese modes of artistic expression, both ancient (origami) and modern (Miyazaki).

With stunning animation and heart-warming storytelling, Laika hits the nail on the head with this one and shows off a moving and powerful coming-of-age story...

... the setting, the mythology, the design work of the characters, and the emotional power which runs throughout, never losing any bit of heft as the adventure goes on, building up until its thrilling end.

A magnificent example of what stop-motion animation can bring to the screen.

Kubo is worth seeing if you want to see what stop-motion is capable of. It succeeds on a technical level but beyond that it never rises to any great heights.
