This is a family favorite for us. With 2 littles and a teenager in our family, sometimes is hard to get is all together for a movie, but after convincing my wife about the movie, she started to get just as excited as my younger son and after seeing it in theaters, it turned into a must-have, so as soon as the DVD came out, my wife wanted more than anyone. Fantastic visuals, great story telling and I love the tone. Must see, must see, must see

This movie caught me by surprise. I bought it for my family. It seemed pretty cool from the cover and it was on sale, so I decided to get it. Its a movie like Coraline or Nightmare Before Christmas in which it's animated with still motion and/or animatronics. The tale itself is a good one and the actions scenes rival those of a Jackie Chan flick. This is now one of my current favorite movies. Do yourself a favor and check this movie out!

If you have never looked behind the scenes at the work Laika studios does to bring their awesome movies to life, you really should. And all of this hard work really pays off, because I have enjoyed every other Laika film I have seen thus far - Kubo being no exception. While you will figure out what is going on in this one pretty easily and early, it still is riveting to see how the story will play out. Recommended.

This film is visually stunning. The 3D is top notch but, the non 3D Bluray is just as stunning. Stop motion is a dying art and it's fantastic to see a modern take on it. Each frame is painstakingly created with careful consideration and it shows. This is also a fantastic story for families, children and adults. You cant really go wrong. I always say animation is the best medium for the high definition format.

This was a fun movie that both parents and children will enjoy together. Good story and characters make this a hidden little gem to own. The video on this Blu-Ray was very good with a picture that is very clear and easy on the eyes. It is a very colorful movie will a sharp contrast. Audio was very good as well. If you have a home theater, you will appreciate the audio on this Blu-Ray. Well defined voices, powerful music and great use of surround sound as well. The 3D effect was fun to watch with lots of depth and a few pop out effects. Overall this was a impressive little gem of a movie that will be watched numerous times.

Being a huge fan of stop motion animation (The Nightmare Before Christmas) I have been excited every time Laika has released a new movie. This was one of their best and one of the best stop motion animation films of all time. -! Amazing story , amazing cast, and a ending I found very different from the typical cliche kids film. Please do yourself a favor and watch it with your kids. I love this movie

No matter what your thoughts are regarding this kind of animation, this is, by far, the best kids movie I have seen this year! It especially hit home because my youngest son was having some issues regarding what the story is ultimately about. I don't want to spoil it, but, trust me, it is able to take an important message and tell it in a way that is unconventional, bold, and utterly poignant.

I was pleasantly surprise as to how good this movie was. I thought it was a Japanese company, but it is an American company! the animation process was great! It really captured the emotion of the characters. Theron and Parkinson was absolutely great!! the best thing in this movie was the soundtrack. the blending of the Shamisen with the other instruments as truly something to behold.

The name of his movie almost made me forget about it. I had heard many great things about it however, so I went ahead and purchased it without seeing it first. And I'm so glad I did. These claymation movies keep getting better as they allow us as the audience to see the millions of steps it takes to create just a few minutes of airtime. Wonderful quality work for the whole family

I adore anything that Laika puts out, so I was over the moon about Kubo and the Two Strings. This is stop animation at its finest! I had to pause the movie several times to just ooh and ahhh at the beautiful animation. It's utterly mind blowing to see how clay and other materials can form such beautiful sets and characters. The music is also beautiful too! A definite must see!

This was such a good find. I’ve seen the previous to this a while back and always wondered when it was coming out.

By far one of the best films by LAIKA studios. Their stop-animation is amazingly fluid and believable, detail on Japanese culture is quite accurate, and story is awesome. Especially a treat with the behind the scenes bonus content and the $14 price at Best Buy for Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital Content was a steal. Definitely worth the addition to the collection.

movies is about the story of a boy fighting for his life against the evil spirit during medieval time in japan. the story looks like it copy part of the monkey kings from china novels. I loves the music such as while my guitar gently weeps . overall the movies is very entertain for both kids and adults.

Easily my favorite Laika movie, the look of this movie and the setting and Asian influences are all very cool. I would say that, like Laila's other works, the script is a little bit weak, but the marvel of the movie makes up for that. Surprisingly dark in subject matter, I definitely recommend this movie for older children. The sound and video quality are decent, but the 3D presentation feels a bit lacking compared to previous Laika releases. The depth is noticeably diminished compared to the theatrical presentation, but still makes for an enjoyable experience.

I recently purchased a 4K #D television from Best Buy and I wanted to get a movie that my family could enjoy together in 3D! I haven't heard anything about this movie, but figured that it might be an enjoyable film. The story is interesting and fun, the 3D is excellent, and the movie will make a great addition to anyone's collection.

I loved this movie, because I haven't seen a stop-motion movie in awhile and I enjoy watching the process on the making of the film. Kubo goes through crazy journey running away from his moms family looking for some magic armor with a baboon and a beetle. The story with Origami is beautiful and I highly recommend this to watch with your family.

This is a special, feel good movie!! It tells the story so well, the animation is fantastic!! Another Great movie from the creators of Coraline!! Must have it in 3D!! Thank You Best Buy for stocking it!! Remember, buy Blu-Ray's, don't stream --- Don't trust your favorite movies to someone elses server - it may not be there when you want it!!

This is probably the best stop motion release to date. Kubo tells an amazing story of family, heroics, and all through stop motion at its finest. I have no doubt that had a been younger (say age 4-12) that this disk would be watched over & over. I highly recommend this for anyone. I watch this film on a 180" home theater screen with projector.

the movie start out very sad about the boy with his mother . The boy have to entertain to make ends meet. The story is interesting but I think it is something similar to monkey king story. I love the ending it is about forgiving. I like the song While my guitar gently weeps by George Harrison. Over all ,it is a must see movies for all ages

Such a beautiful film for both adults and children. It is a piece of art. We love it. Such a unique storyline and the characters are very memorable. Packed with action, humor, love, adventure, and even emotional too. Definitely an amazing movie worth watching!!!
