Kubo and the Two Strings

Don't Miss This One!

If you haven't seen this film you absolutely must and please grab the family. It is beautifully written with a great sense of humor that must be seen. You will appreciate the clay and paper animation smoothed in a digital environment.

The story feels eastern but the ending has been softened for western audiences. Kubo's story will feel very familiar to you with great adventure following a child's mistake. Throughout Kubo's journey the filmmakers gently expose memory loss in our elders. They also show how memories shared are the stories that keep us alive.

This is a brilliant work of animation and storytelling that will stand next to Spirited Away and The Book of Kells. You don't want to miss it!
