Kubo mesmerizes the people in his village with his magical gift for spinning wild tales with origami. When he accidentally summons an evil spirit seeking vengeance, Kubo is forced to go on a quest to solve the mystery of his fallen samurai father and his mystical weaponry, as well as discover his own magical powers. Kubo and the Two Strings is "a wildly imaginative, magical adventure." – Scott Mantz, Access HollywoodBonus Content: Japanese Inspiration Corners of the Earth The Myth of Kubo Feature Commentary with Director/Producer Travis Knight Review: A visually stunning, modern fairy tale that shows off the amazing talents of the Laika team. - We live in the future, and it is incredible. I’ve found stop-motion animation to be a fascinating medium, not only for its “dirtiness” when compared to CGI, but also because of the painstaking care it takes to produce a full-length feature with this process. Animation studios like Aardman and Laika are really starting to take advantage of all the tools at their disposal to create some awesome stop-motion movies. We’ve come a long way since the films of Henry Selick, the most famous one being The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993). Through Selick, we now have a handful of fantastic films through the Laika brand. While their previous work, The Boxtrolls (2014) had started the trend away from more morbid themes and plots, Kubo and the Two Strings (2016) shows just how capable the stop-motion medium is to tell a fantastic story. With an origami motif existing throughout, Kubo and the Two Strings is a fantastic example of what 3-D Printing can do for the stop-motion animation industry. In fact, the almost transparent qualities of the characters allowed the light to more realistically interact with their bodies, immersing the viewer even further into the story. People who haven’t had much interaction with 3-D printing probably didn’t notice it, but I certainly did. Even though the plot may have been a bit “video game”-ish at times, the structure was almost faithfully that of a classic fairy tale. The themes of love, loss, family, duty, and honor are all present in this Japanese setting, thus hammering home the emotional impact of the characters’ actions with each turn. I was certainly in tears during several segments because of how touching they were. With this plot, the style of animation, and the technical achievements to make it a reality, I would be shocked if Laika does not win their first Oscar for Best Animated Feature next year because of this film. A visually stunning, modern fairy tale that shows off the amazing talents of the Laika team, I give Kubo and the Two Strings 4.5 stars out of 5. Review: This ”old school" animated movie is very impressive and wonderful to watch! Rent or purchase this movie to own! - This animated feature is an excellent movie and fully enjoyable and satisfying for both kids AND adults. This movie doesn't have any of the adult TV show/movie or new references that animation movie makers seem to have to put into an animated movie to get adults to watch with their kids and it doesn't need them! This movie may look like a completely CGI animated movie, but it is NOT! The majority of this movie is done "Old School" with different types of clay and mechanical puppets in a more modern style of Ray Harryhausen OR Nick Park/Aardman (Wallace & Grommit) stop motion animation! This movie amazes on sooo many levels! The modern and old style Asian soundtrack is another really imprressive part of this movie that really helps to propel this feature to another level of interest as another element and plot supporting device! The attention to the tiniest of details and a very well thought out plot is what helps keep your interest in this movie, as highly fictional and fantastical as this animated feature is. I never saw this movie in the theaters (I really wished I had), but watching this movie with my wife on our 50 inch screen TV gave us a real great sense of what this movie was like in the theaters. Our interest in this movie was piqued when we seen excerpts of this movie in commercials for "Save our Forrests" ! This movie is an impressive feat that you should either rent to watch or own! If you are a big fan of animated feature films, this is a must have to own feature worthy of being added to your animated movie collection! This IS an excellent and wonderful movie to watch and experience! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01KMKM5NW | | Actors | Art Parkinson, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Charlize Theron, George Takei, Ralph Fiennes | | Aspect Ratio | 2.40:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #13,165 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #1,112 in Kids & Family DVDs #1,286 in Action & Adventure DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (9,514) | | Director | Travis Knight | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 43379926 | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 5.1), Spanish (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | MPAA rating | PG (Parental Guidance Suggested) | | Media Format | NTSC, Subtitled | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 0.01 ounces | | Release date | November 22, 2016 | | Run time | 1 hour and 42 minutes | | Studio | Universal Pictures Home Entertainment | | Subtitles: | French, Spanish | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Art Parkinson, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Charlize Theron, George Takei, Ralph Fiennes, Travis Knight - **Format:** NTSC, Subtitled - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 42 minutes ## Images ![Kubo and the Two Strings - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1PCgzgWapL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A visually stunning, modern fairy tale that shows off the amazing talents of the Laika team. *by B***T on December 17, 2017* We live in the future, and it is incredible.

It's all about stories and how we tell them and how they shape us. It's probably better for middle school aged kids up through adult though. I tried showing it to a friend's 8 and 6 year old daughters and they couldn't keep up with the story and lost interest. Still, for a bit older kids, it's a great imaginative and artistic film that I highly recommend! ## Frequently Bought Together - Kubo and the Two Strings - Coraline - The Boxtrolls (2014) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/35995795-kubo-and-the-two-strings](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/35995795-kubo-and-the-two-strings) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
