The summer movie season may be quickly coming to an end, but not without one more action-adventure!

 

Kubo and the Two Strings

 

Focus Features is releasing Laika’s Kubo and the Two Strings to theatres this week, and you can gear up for yet another promising animated film.

You may fondly remember Coraline, ParaNorman  and The Boxtrolls, which were also released from Laika; combined, they earned 340 million worldwide!

 

 

What can you expect from Kubo and the Two Strings?

The movie is set in Japan, and clever, kindhearted Kubo (voiced by Art Parkinson of Game of Thrones!!) lives humbly, telling stories to the people of his town.
