I saw Kubo and the Two Strings a while back. I was hesitant to see another Laika film after Coraline scarred me as a child, but I was hugely impressed. Beautiful visuals, beautiful music, and a surprisingly good story--it ended up being less about a generic quest and more about what it means to be human, both the good and the bad aspects. I managed to figure out one twist beforehand, but the other caught me by surprise. 8/10, would buy it when it comes out on DVD.
