Kubo and the Two Strings (2016)



Laika studio made Coraline, an adaptation of Neil Gaiman's novel about a young girl finding her 'other mother' who wants to give her buttons for eyes. In Kubo, we follow, of course Kubo who lacks one eye, and who tells stories of a great hero called Hansu in his village. More I can't really say, for fear of revealing too much. The thing that is truly remarkable of this stop-motion film is how extremely beautiful and well-done it is, every sequence is remarkable and beyond beautiful. From the colours, to the scenery, to the character design and the details on their clothes. Despite this, the story does lack some of the refinement it could have had, like, Coraline, but it's a wonderful tale nonetheless. A story worth seeing.
