This spectacular animated film from the excellent Laika studio (Coraline, The Boxtrolls) is set in Japan, where 12-year-old Kubo (voiced by Art Parkinson of Games of Thrones) lives peacefully until one day he summons by mistake a spirit from the past that calls for an age-old vendetta. Now on the run, Kubo joins forces with Monkey (voiced by Charlize Theron) and Beetle (voiced by Matthew McConaughey), and together they set out on a thrilling quest to find the magical suit of armor once worn by his father, the greatest samurai of all time. With the help of his shamisen, a magical string instrument, he must battle gods and monsters, including the vengeful Moon King and his evil twin daughters.
