I am one of those adults that really enjoys a lot of the animated movies that come out. I received a copy of Kubo And The Two Strings and curled up under a blanket to watch it a few nights ago. I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy the movie and was really surprised to find that I loved it. The main characters are personable, the color and animation bright and bold, and the storytelling terrific. Personally I would say this movie is better suited for teens and adults, as the storyline might be a bit for younger children to follow and understand. Here’s a complete description.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
From acclaimed animation studio LAIKA comes an all-new epic adventure starring the voice talents of Academy Award® winners Charlize Theron (Mad Max: Fury Road) and Matthew McConaughey (Interstellar).
