Kubbo And The Two Strings

Decent Essays

Kubo and the Two strings is an amazing animation film that is based off of Japanese culture and can be very dark at times. Personally, I believe that little kids shouldn’t watch this because they may not be able to understand it or just be scared in general. Kubo is a clever, kindhearted boy who tells stories through origami by using a Shamisen (magical musical instrument) to the people that live in his seaside town. That was until the day he stayed out when the sun set vanished and now he is on the run from a past that he barely understands. This was a great movie because it’s not an ordinary animated film its blended in with having origami telling the story as well as the anime characters.
Kubo and the Two Strings is about a boy named Kubo, who tells fantastical stories about a great samurai warrior named Hanzo in his town. That was until the day he accidentally summoned a mythical spirit the Moon King who has already taken one of his eyes and is intending to take his other eye. He doesn’t quite understand why the Moon King is after him, but his mother has made a huge sacrifice to keep him away from the Moon King. Now Kubo must join forces with a Monkey (Charlize Theron) and Beetle (Matthew McConaughey), to solve the mystery of what happened to his fallen father while also trying to save his family. With the help of his shamisen (magical musical instrument) Kubo must battle monsters and gods, including the Moon King (Ralph Fiennes) and evil twin sisters (Rooney Mara).
