A young boy named Kubo must locate a magical suit of armour worn by his late father in order to defeat a vengeful spirit from the past.
This is a stop-motion animated gem that feels like a love letter to folklore, adventure, and music. The story, centered around a young boy and his magical shamisen, weaves an intricate tale with emotional depth and stunning visuals. It's a reminder of how rich storytelling can be when it embraces the unknown and celebrates the human spirit. The characters are endearing, and the journey is one of self-discovery and courage. It's a film that resonates with themes of bravery and the power of imagination, making it a heartfelt addition to my library.
