Kubo and the Two Strings Blu-ray, Video Quality

Kubo and the Two Strings arrives on Blu-ray with a real looker of a 1080p transfer. The stop-motion elements shine and the care and attention to detail that the filmmakers have put on every piece characters but also garments and environments are beautifully reproduced on Blu-ray. Fabric details are the unequivocal highlight. Fine material textures, small edge frays, wear and light grime, every bit of every piece is a treasure trove of high definition goodness.Beetle's weathered and porous armor is another fine example of the transfer's readily evident clarity and the filmmakers' keen attention to detail. Broader character models and environments are stunning, too, in both complexity and consistency. Colors are terrific.Black levels are handsomely deep. Minor noise intrudes in a few shots, but this is, overall, a gorgeous presentation that does the material proud.

Kubo and the Two Strings Blu-ray, Audio Quality

Kubo and the Two Strings features a rich, precise, big, and nuanced DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless soundtrack. In the era of added channels, Kubo demonstrates the power of 5+1 in creating an engaging and seamlessly enveloping listen. The track proves its worth right out of the gate in a scene featuring heavy crashing ocean waves, booming thunder, driving rain, a magical burst that parts the waters, essentially a symphony of sonic aggression that surrounds the viewer and spills into the stage with precision clarity and depth along the entire range. Big bass and aggressive action scenes are commonplace; again even lacking the added channels of the highest end tracks, shows no gaps in coverage. Movement is very fluid in more aggressive and calmer scenes alike. The track is expert at maneuvering sounds to match the action, again whether heavy action or lighter background ambience. Dialogue is clear and focused with consistent prioritization and clarity.

Profoundly moving and visually stunning

Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

Like “Song of the Sea,” this film for our family was profoundly moving, visually stunning, entertaining, mystical, and very heartwarming. It was also a great departure from the usual animations that adopt the Disney formula, which might be a turn-off for viewers that either prefer cookie-cutter endings or dislike the more mentally-engaged consumer experience (where audiences have to do a bit of deductive reasoning). For us, though, this film was a welcomed departure as it allowed us to discuss real life topics with our kids (teenager and 5-year-old) that even adults have difficulty reconciling. The most notable one was that of personal loss, specifically the loss of a loved one. This by far was the film’s greatest strength as Kubo shows us how to properly grieve and mourn, as well as how to move on.

At the beginning of the film Kubo was consumed with questions of why, as in why was he stuck with such personal sadness; by the end, he found the strength and courage to transition himself to questions of how, as in how to move on from his loss (e.g., his surprising actions and those of the villagers at the end of the film simply reflected how many Asian cultures try to deal positively with personal loss). That really struck a chord with our family, especially with our kids who greatly admired Kubo for his kindness, strength, and dedication to appreciating all that human life has to offer, even if that includes a life of emotional hardship.

With that said I would advise parents to screen the film first before showing it to their kids, in case their kids are not yet mentally and/or emotionally ready to handle such topics. Otherwise, it’s a beautiful film that will surely resonate with its viewers for many years to come.

One of the best Animations I have seen.

One of the best animations I have seen. Definitely the best American Animation, even ranking up there with many Japanese Animations. The story shows love, determination, family, loss, and forgiveness. Kubo is lovable from the start, and characters have level of depth not seen in cinema today. I believe parents will enjoy this movie just as much, if not more than their children.

A visually stunning, modern fairy tale that shows off the amazing talents of the Laika team.

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2017

Verified Purchase

We live in the future, and it is incredible. I’ve found stop-motion animation to be a fascinating medium, not only for its “dirtiness” when compared to CGI, but also because of the painstaking care it takes to produce a full-length feature with this process. Animation studios like Aardman and Laika are really starting to take advantage of all the tools at their disposal to create some awesome stop-motion movies. We’ve come a long way since the films of Henry Selick, the most famous one being The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993). Through Selick, we now have a handful of fantastic films through the Laika brand.

While their previous work, The Boxtrolls (2014) had started the trend away from more morbid themes and plots, Kubo and the Two Strings (2016) shows just how capable the stop-motion medium is to tell a fantastic story. With an origami motif existing throughout, Kubo and the Two Strings is a fantastic example of what 3-D Printing can do for the stop-motion animation industry. In fact, the almost transparent qualities of the characters allowed the light to more realistically interact with their bodies, immersing the viewer even further into the story. People who haven’t had much interaction with 3-D printing probably didn’t notice it, but I certainly did.

Even though the plot may have been a bit “video game”-ish at times, the structure was almost faithfully that of a classic fairy tale. The themes of love, loss, family, duty, and honor are all present in this Japanese setting, thus hammering home the emotional impact of the characters’ actions with each turn. I was certainly in tears during several segments because of how touching they were. With this plot, the style of animation, and the technical achievements to make it a reality, I would be shocked if Laika does not win their first Oscar for Best Animated Feature next year because of this film.

A visually stunning, modern fairy tale that shows off the amazing talents of the Laika team, I give Kubo and the Two Strings 4.5 stars out of 5.

This ”old school" animated movie is very impressive and wonderful to watch! Rent or purchase this movie to own!

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2017

Verified Purchase

This animated feature is an excellent movie and fully enjoyable and satisfying for both kids AND adults.
This movie doesn't have any of the adult TV show/movie or new references that animation movie makers seem to have to put into an animated movie to get adults to watch with their kids and it doesn't need them!
This movie may look like a completely CGI animated movie, but it is NOT!
The majority of this movie is done "Old School" with different types of clay and mechanical puppets in a more modern style of Ray Harryhausen OR Nick Park/Aardman (Wallace & Grommit) stop motion animation!
This movie amazes on sooo many levels!
The modern and old style Asian soundtrack is another really imprressive part of this movie that really helps to propel this feature to another level of interest as another element and plot supporting device!
The attention to the tiniest of details and a very well thought out plot is what helps keep your interest in this movie, as highly fictional and fantastical as this animated feature is.
I never saw this movie in the theaters (I really wished I had), but watching this movie with my wife on our 50 inch screen TV gave us a real great sense of what this movie was like in the theaters.
Our interest in this movie was piqued when we seen excerpts of this movie in commercials for "Save our Forrests" !
This movie is an impressive feat that you should either rent to watch or own!
If you are a big fan of animated feature films, this is a must have to own feature worthy of being added to your animated movie collection!
This IS an excellent and wonderful movie to watch and experience!

Origami boy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 1, 2017

Verified Purchase

A new stop motion movie from Laika Studios. Who also brought us 'Coraline.' 'Paranorman.' And 'The Boxtrolls.'

This is a wholly original story, with an oriental setting.

The main character is Kubo. A boy who starts the film washed up on a shore with his mother. They come to live on the edge of a village. Where he grows up entertaining the locals with his storytelling, music, and amazing origami skills.

But his mother can only tell him so much about his past. And he would love to know who his father was.

When the village is attacked, it's the start of a remarkable journey that will change his life forever...

The stop motion in here is simply stunningly well done, and gorgeous to look at. It even manages scenes set at water that look convincing. The score is also superb, fitting the setting of the tale perfectly.

It's a film of sections. The opening has a lot to set up and is a bit of a slow burner. But once the action gets going it's initially unclear as to certain things that are going on. But then Kubo is on a quest with two special beings, Monkey [Charlize Theron] and Beetle [Matthew Mcconaughey]. The three form an excellent grouping giving some very funny bickering and character moments. Matthew Mcconaughey in particular is superb at playing his character for intended laughs.

The final quarter of the film does change direction slightly to go a little darker, but it does deliver memorable action and good answers. And has a brilliant emotional depth to it. Leading to an ending you won't forget in a hurry.

Through the narrative Kubo has an excellent character journey, and you can really feel for him and relate to him all the way. Its a great journey to take. The film might be a bit dark at points for some of the very young, hence the PG certificate. But ultimately it's a charming fable and a great watch and well worth five stars.

The disc has the following language and subtitle options:

Languages: English, Arabic, Hindi, Icelandic.

Subtitles: English, Arabic, Hindi, Icelandic.

It also has English audio description.

The disc begins with some trailers and ads, that can be skipped via the next button on the dvd remote.

It contains the usual flyer with code to use to download a copy of the film to a digital device.

Extras:

Kubo's Journey. A making of documentary, which is split into six parts. Which can be watched individually or all in a row. If doing the latter it runs for twenty seven minutes in total. This is a good and in depth look at the production and an excellent watch.

There's also Corner of the Earth, a three minute look at some of the settings in the film. Which is a bit too short to have much impact.

Beautiful, original & magical. You will never look at Origami the same way again.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 6, 2017

This movie is a slow-burn love affair. It grows and grows and grows until it it sure to have its own cult following. Everything Laika has done has been magic but they hit the highest possible note first with the seminal "Coraline". They then disappointed with "Paranormal" before pulled it back a bit with the novelty of "The Boxtrolls". In "Kubo" they have finally ending up with an animation every bit as good as "Coraline". Maybe it is the soundtrack, maybe it is the fact they both have a thing about plucking out children's eyes? Who knows? It is dark, it is delicious. Kubo is the story Laika were born to animate. The animation is delightful and it is truly wonderful to see a studio still doing stop/go animation like this. It produces textures that you don't see in CGI. This is more a piece of art and less of a movie. It is stunning. The storyline is all about the Goddess & son who falls to Earth in disgrace for bearing the son of a mortal. The boy Kubo inherits his mother's magic which manifests itself through the effect their guitar playing has on animating pieces of paper Origami-style. The finished result is truly original, utterly beautiful and will never be forgotten. Bravo!

A magical stop-motion animation movie

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

Every time I watch this I have to keep reminding myself that it's a stop-motion animation movie. It really gives most 3D CGI movies a run for their money which makes it even more special.

Before I purchased this I was already a fan of their previous movies 'The Boxtrolls', 'Coraline' and 'ParaNorman' and this does not disappoint. The details in the backgrounds and the characters are magical, plus watching it on a 3D TV is really special so I guarantee the video, music, storyline and acting will make it a perfect watch.

What a fabulous and unusual film! I went to see it at the cinema and was completely enthralled all the way through it. If you want to know how it was made there are videos on youtube, which are fascinating. The film makers certainly deserved receiving a BAFTA award. Also, the version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps by George Harrison fits perfectly with this film.

Beautiful, stylish and unique

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 18, 2018

An unusual style, very different from any other children's animation I've seen.

From the beginning, there are some very poignant scenes (from a grown-up perspective) set out with utmost minimalism, as Kubo struggles to get any reaction from his mother. This is lightened by Kubo's spectacular origami storytelling in the village - a theme throughout the film.

The "making of" bonus feature is great, showing the staggering effort and detail required for the stop-motion models and scenery.
