One of the most beautiful films of the year and Laika's best film they've made so far, Kubo is a wondrous and totally compelling experience, featuring some incredible stop motion animation, that is utterly stunning and awe-inspiring. Laika are clear masters of this craft and its something I'll always adore. The animation combined with some top notch voice acting and a story ripe with emotion, excitement and a heartfelt message, makes this a really great film and probably one of my favourites of the year. I was just hooked from the get go and it never let up, great stuff. ****1/2
