Quote from JudeC11 :
I'm curious, what did you like about Kubo? I thought it was boring and convuluted.
I'll try to keep this as short as possible - it resonated a ton with me and my kids because it dealt a lot with grief. My wife and their mother passed away from cancer almost 5 years ago, and we loved the general mood about trying to honor and live up to those who have passed but to make your own way. We've also dealt with family members with different degrees of dementia, so the end bit with the grandfather was very recognizable and very well done. "Song of the Sea" is another animated film that has grief as a central theme and is amazing... but I can't watch that one anymore.

I liked how the 'prophecy' about needing the armor was almost completely a MacGuffin in the end and Kubo won without it. I thought Matthew McConaughey's comic relief was perfect, and that there were real stakes and danger which is often not the case in children's movies.

I thought the art style was brilliant and to me, it is the pinnacle of stop-motion. It's insane to watch the ending credits and see how they put together the giant skull battle. And speaking of the end credits, Regina Spektor's cover of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is in my Top 5 covers ever, it is a literal perfect fit for the movie between the lyrics and the reference to the three-stringed Japanese guitar that Kubo makes and plays throughout the film.

I already own the physical steelbook but wanted the online streaming format too. At this price, no brainer. Thanks OP!

Also, Paranorman was great. Kubo is the weakest of the 4 and Kubo isn't weak either.

Love all four of these movies!

Really disliked ParaNorman. Heavy-handed morality tale.

Coraline > ParaNorman > Kubo > Box Trolls

Sadly, the only reason for me to buy would be to upgrade to 4K. I love Laika's work.
