Kubo and the Two Strings
 

just came back from this movie

Fantastic.

I haven't even heard of this beyond seeing it mentioned... what is it? Basic gist? Should I be interested or bored?

Interested.
It's the same studio that gave us "Para-Norman" and "Coraline," both of which are well worth the time and price of admission. (I didn't like Corpse Bride as much, but the animation was amazingly gorgeous.)

Here have a trailer!

Huh.

That tells me NOTHING about what to expect, but it DOES look great visually.

Didn't watch any of those three previous entries; horror (or horror "lite") usually isn't my thing. Huh.

I'm usually not a fan of horror either, but Para-Norman is one of my favorite animated movies.

I would have to say, out of the 4 films, Kubo is probably the best (followed by Paranorman

I am mad that my local theatre didn't get this one since I have no car. Though they have gotten all the other movies from this company.
