Kubo and the Two Strings (Animated Feature 2016)

Before we dive into our pick we discuss two new series:

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norell from the BBC and The Get Down from Netflix. We also expound on the virtues of a forgotten piece of tech, the antenna.

This was a consensus pick, we all saw this film recently.

You can likely discount the conspiracy theories about the formation of Laika, we’re ill-informed animation nerds, but you can take our word at face value on the process- that’s our jam.

Laika continues to push the boundaries of stop-motion animation. We can’t stress enough that seeing their movies and telling other people to go watch them supports this art.

Kubo is still in some theaters and is available for pre-order on streaming and physical formats.
