About Kubo and the Two Strings

"Kubo and the Two Strings" is produced by an American animation studio. It can be said that it has its own advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the style of painting has changed. After all, stop-motion animation is still refreshing compared to the hand-painted Japanese animation works. The disadvantage is that the content and style of painting are slightly set. There are some unacceptable things, such as the laughter of the old lady, the redwood forest, etc. (so Blizzard Dad is still very good, and "Mists of Pandaria" does a good job).

There are two highlights. One is the paper art, which is simple and flexible and can be changed freely, which reminds people of the animated short "Paperman". It is an interesting step to have the form displayed positively.

Kubo and the Two Strings quotes

  • Monkey: [regarding Hanzo] In recognizing his compassion, I recognized my own.

  • [first lines]

    Kubo: [narrating] If you must blink, do it now. Pay careful attention to everything you see and hear, no matter how unusual it may seem. And please be warned: If you fidget, if you look away, if you forget any part of what I tell you - even for an instant - then our hero will surely perish.

    [baby crying]

    Kubo: His name is Kubo. His grandfather stole something from him. And that really is the least of it.
