Eyes can be manipulated, memories can be forgotten, family can betray us... but the human condition always prevails.
Josh LewisAug 18, 2016Some of the most beautiful animation I've ever seen. The imagination and creativity behind this movie is absolutely mind-blowing. Monkey and Beetle are forever my spirit animals. Step aside Pixar, Laika is taking over.
EvanAug 12, 2016Staggeringly beautiful and immensely true, the best animated film of 2016 — one of the year’s best films of any kind, really — is a stop-motion fable about a one-eyed boy in mythical Japan that was made by a team of gifted visionaries in an Oregon warehouse. Laika, the…

my favourite thing about this film has to be the fact that your fate could literally be determined by how epic your guitar solo is
liam fIt's not great, it's not terrible. Some absolutely stunning animation anchors an aggressively predictable and mediocre story with a really annoying side character. It's fine but I really don't anticipate checking it out again
James (Schaffrillas)Beautifully animated, definitely need to watch again.

Ok, Disney-, Pixar-, Dreamworks-people listen up. The next time you're in the process of creating your next animated feature, have this running 24/7 to make sure you'll be creative, different, passionate, dedicated, not inclined to take the easy way out and above all in…
DirkHNov 28, 201783 Pretty telling that I didn't fully give myself over to Kubo and the Two Strings back when I was burying the ideas of memory, legend, family, and community in favor of independence and young adulthood. My mother gave me a big hug at the end of this film when we first…

Kay Chan lovedKubo and the Two StringsLate to the party, but wow, what an incredible film. The plot twists are predictable, yet their execution is emotionally powerful. With stunning visuals, it’s a beautiful, fantastical journey that delves into deeply human themes, all while delivering action and humor. A new fave!

Despite a traditional-seeming quest for a suit of armor and a sword, the film’s intrinsic message is all about the transformative powers of music and love. It’s a movie the whole family can rock out to.

The action is gorgeously fluid, the idiosyncratic 3-D visual conceits (including floating eyeballs undersea) are startling, and the story and its metaphors resolve in unexpected and moving ways.

Little kids will be bored, as there are only a few scenes with any action, and of those, only one, featuring an enormous skeleton with swords sticking out of its skull, has any oomph.
