An epic action-adventure set in a fantastical Japan from acclaimed
animation studio LAIKA. Clever, kindhearted Kubo (voiced by Art Parkinson of
“Game of Thrones”) ekes out a humble living, telling stories to the people of
his seaside town including Hosato (George Takei), Akihiro (Cary-Hiroyuki
Tagawa), and Kameyo (Academy Award nominee Brenda Vaccaro). But his relatively
quiet existence is shattered when he accidentally summons a spirit from his
past which storms down from the heavens to enforce an age-old vendetta. Now on
the run, Kubo joins forces with Monkey (Academy Award winner Charlize Theron)
and Beetle (Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey), and sets out on a
thrilling quest to save his family and solve the mystery of his fallen father,
the greatest samurai warrior the world has ever known. With the help of his
shamisen – a magical musical instrument – Kubo must battle gods and monsters,
including the vengeful Moon King (Academy Award nominee Ralph Fiennes) and the
evil twin Sisters (Academy Award nominee Rooney Mara), to unlock the secret of
his legacy, reunite his family, and fulfill his heroic destiny.
