Directed by Travis Knight
Kubo, a one-eyed boy who conjures living origami with his shamisen, must find his late father's magical armor before the vengeful Moon King and his sisters find him. With a monkey and a beetle for companions, his quest crosses an epic stop-motion Japan. LAIKA's fourth feature earned Oscar nominations for Best Animated Feature and Best Visual Effects, the latter shared by Brad Schiff, who won the Visual Effects Society award for his animation on the film. Rated PG.
