Everything GREAT About Kubo and The Two Strings!

"if you look for the good, you will find it. But if you look for the bad, that's all you'll ever see." -Uncle Iroh, The Avatar

"If you must blink, do it now" is the most ballsy opening line of any movie ever.

What’s incredible is that the sisters and the Moon King have seen things beyond mortal comprehension, but they don’t understand basic emotions and concepts like love and family. Most gods are portrayed as humans with severe egos, but they are just ethereal and cold.

I was literally the only person who watched this in my class and I don’t get why no one liked it! I literally still want the dvd because I don’t have it.

Additional note: The opening scene with the giant wave is also a reference to the Japanese painting 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa' :)

I personally found the ending very wholesome. Sure Kubo lost both of his parents, but he also found both of his parents. And even though separated by death, he knows he isn’t going to lose them again. Love this film! 🌄🎏🏮

Kubo and The Two Strings was my childhood favorite. Not only because of the great art style and plot but because of the feeling it gives. The mother sacrificing herself, Kubo's friends/sidekicks dying, and him using the last memory of his friends/the spirits of his Father and Mother to defeat his Grandfather just gives you so many emotions.

Honestly, Laika needs so much more love. If it goes out of business, it’ll be the death of an art.

I think it should also be said, is that this movie is also a take on one of Japan's favorite stories princess kaguya. A.K.A the moon goddess/princess, which kubo mother is. A woman of other worldly beauty who descended from the moon and found love. It should also be added that this movie does a good job at displaying Buddhist teachings, showing that life is not just about "the one" but rather the scope of "the whole" and how they tie to one another.

Laika Studio: The animation studio with great visual effects, creativity, and unique stop motion animation, but not the best box office. The studio deserves better than what it gets.

"We'll get to Coraline and ParaNorman" 6 Months Later: ..... Lol just joking, but you have to do it! They're both masterpieces!

I watched 4 minutes of this video... Then realized i really really really wanted to see this movie, the visuals, his excitement, it was clear from minute one this movie was loved... So I put this video on pause, went and got myself a copy, then came back to finish this video. And quite frankly. To all at CinimaWins. Thank you. Thank you for showing me something beautiful. I am deeply grateful. I'm a bit late to the party for you to see my comment, but I think it bears saying nonetheless.

Everything Great About Kubo & the Two Strings doesn't post whole movie

Fun? (More like sad) fact: I love Japanese mythology and folklore, so I was pretty excited to see this in theaters, then a film review channel I was subbed to at the time said that it was mediocre at best and could very reasonably be skipped. I was disappointed, but since I trusted this channel, as they had yet to recommend a movie I didn’t like, I didn’t see it in theaters and forgot about it for a while. When I finally did see it on Netflix months later, I cried so hard because not only was it amazing and I’d missed seeing it in theaters like I’d originally wanted, but my own maternal grandfather with whom I was very close had died earlier that same year. He was very much like how the villagers described the Moon King at the end, a kind and generous man beyond compare, so even if he didn’t look the same, it still was painfully bittersweet to see Kubo and his grandfather reconcile.

My dad didn’t have the highest expectations but after seeing this, he admitted that it was one of the best and most visually stunning movies that he had seen in a while.

I feel like the reason stop motion, specifically laika is so compelling, is that no matter what, every frame, every line, every little thing is physically manipulated by the artist, and that they simply catch all the glaring unitentional issues simply due to how much effort must be put in to each movie

Cinema Sins is the prosecutor and Cinema Wins is the defense attorney.

This movie flopped . . ? I- How?

Alright, I've seen people recommend things for days, it's my turn: Starting today, I request Rango.

A win you missed: the beetle saying “i love you monkey” as a guess was also him subtly saying that he loves monkey, showing that he’s slowly realizing who he is again
