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.
