For those wanting a jolt of visual-electricity to adhere to their summertime thirst for adventure, beauty, and emotion, look no further than Kubo and the Two Strings. Its simple yet intricate animated style will appeal to audiences of all ages and its tale of a quest for reunion with what is lost will strike to the heart, bones and soul of anyone.
Some of the intended humor in the dialogue falls a little flat but there is an elegance to the animation in its combination of traditional Japanese art and Disney-style visuals that make up for that slight downside. The story-line is simple and will appeal to children. Adults, too will like it for its universal themes of the unbreakable ties of family, redemption, and the transcendental quality of music.
In a summer where the filmic landscape is particularly desolate, Kubo and the Two Strings is a welcome addition to any person's viewing experience.
