If you must blink, do it now. Pay careful attention to everything you see no matter how unusual it may seem. If you look away, even for an instant, then our hero will surely perish.

made the thread because it finally came out in ireland huh

Actually, I'm not from Ireland, I just wanted to make a Kubo thread cause I think it's a great movie.

...

Very good movie, really.

cam when

That's a really good cover
Also that voice

>that voice
I don't doubt that whoever sang for this cover has a nice voice, but we'll never know from this heavily edited vocaloid performance

Yeah I get you point
Still nice to hear it though

I need the art book and the soundtrack.

why the fuck did they steal grandpa's memories about being immortal if the whole movie is about the importance of keeping your memories alive?

It's about telling stories and how they immortalize people. His story just began, he'll become a respected old man who atoned for his sins.

this
but also grandpa never lived with his eyes "open." He was blind to the good of humanity and the value of living a mortal life. At the end of the movie one of his eyes isn't blind anymore (the opposite of Kubo's eyes I believe).

Grandpa's mortal story has just begun.

and he's going to have a great story, and kubo is lucky to tell it because now he has family again.

but still, grandpa did kill a lot of dad's soldiers and turn dad into a bug, and sent his daughters to kill mom. kubo still only has one eye because of grandpa and that will never change.

I think Kubo turning his grandfather mortal and taking his memory was simply to give him the ability to see humanity as Kubo does, as his parents saw it. In the end, he pitied his grandfather more than hated him. I do like that there is that moment of hesitation before Kubo agrees to tell his grandfather his story, as though he was still struggling slightly with his anger and hate, but he still let go of it.

Kubo's a boy, btw

I wish Kubo was my girlfriend

...

What? It's all real, dude. It sounds odd at times but that's just her voice. Her name is Regina Spektor.
youtube.com/watch?v=VmfZDt8wvcs

Yes and it's so rare to see someone continue to fund something that isn't making a dime of profit. Laika is a labor of love.

I want Kubo, Norman, Eggs, and Coraline to hang out.

How would Coraline act around them though? I haven't watched the movie in a while and I just remember her being kind of a bitch to Wybie. How would she get along with Winnie from Boxtrolls?

Regina Spektor doesn't use autotune bruv

got any more of these?

did anyone else find it extremely hot when the second aunt's mask broke off, showing only her mouth?

Not for Kubo. I'll probably make some once the DVD comes out

>tfw no kubo trap porn
>tfw no asian witch porn
>tfw movie flopping is the cause of it all

Just come from watching the movie with my sister, we were the only people in the thratre. this is the third time I go to a movie and its completly empty or semi empty, the other two times were Scooby Doo and Yu Gi Oh.

Also
>Latino dub
>Kubo's voice is so girly for the first quarter of the movie I doubted if Kubo was a boy

Not hot, per se, but I did wonder if they looked just like Kubo's mother.

Ok this is driving me nuts! I swear to god at like 3:22 or 3:23 I can hear a goddamn squeaky toy in the background of this song! Now it's all I can hear!

Is there just an instrumental version like in the trailer?

Please understand just how little that matters to me.

the real question is who's dick would she lust over?

Wow she's good

>Implying Coraline would be interested in dick with this around.

Will this/Did this ever get released in Japan?

this movie was a C+ at best

>I want Kubo, Norman, Eggs, and Coraline to hang out.

Dat didn't stop this guy.

He isn't interested in shapely female ass.

Kubo was a boy.

that's not autism user

now if he was shipping any of them, I'd be inclined to agree, but you're just being a fgt

>tfw there's a girl in my class who looks like Kubo

S-Should I ask her out, Sup Forums?

Does she have the eyepatch?

I finally saw it today and holy shit it was good.
It's going to hurt watching it job to Pixar's sequel garbage.

I just saw this

holy fuck why is this movie doing so bad

Is Laika cursed or did someone in the studio mafia sabotage it?

No, but that's easy to fix.

POP!

>Laika Avengers

>It's going to hurt watching it job to Pixar's sequel garbage.
not as much as the year literally every movie that deserved it more lost to a bog-standard superhero story.


I actually liked Big Hero 6 and I'm still mad

So?

The Sisters were some really good villains.

The Oscars are going to be especially painful this next year.

I'd actually love Laika to do a superhero movie, but I don't know which niche comic they would pick or make something up.

...

why even have an animated catagoey uf you are going to act like this.

>Frozen
>Intelligent
>Empowering
>Inspiring

Don't get me wrong Frozen was decent but no way in hell was it renaissance tier.

Academy voters aren't required to watch the movies they're voting on. They aren't even required to have seen one. They can literally vote based on who sucks their dick the most.

They'll make it back in overseas or media, they have to

Because they didn't want that kiddy shit muddling any of their other categories.

Fantastic designs too.

there's already international releases, user.

Maybe Japan will go gaga over it though

we can only pray

Even if they don't, you can continue to support Laika by buying Nike sneakers.

I watched this while the song was playing.

Satisfying as fuck.

So far, I've not seen a Japan release date.

some drawfag get on the goddess Nike comforting Laika the dog.

the "Animated Feature" category is practically just "here Disney have another statue" the award

DID MONKEY AND BEETLE FUCK

Why do people care about this garbage?

I know. It even snubs itself with Brave of all things getting best picture over Wreck It Ralph.

yes, but not when they were beetle and monkey. They're Kubo's Mom and Dad.
I'm just gonna not watch them like always. It's practically boils down to "What the fuck, Animation isn't a real art."
Makes me get depressed for awhile.

Argentina? I saw it today too. Shame there were so little subtitled screenings, but the latam voices were allright.

Say! What's with Laika and threats to protagonists' eyes?

>Argentina?
No, I'm not black

This kind of video is fantastic.
As for the money, to be fair, the movie isn't very good. There are certain sequences (most notably near the beginning, when the sisters show up) that are simply amazing, but about 3/4s into the movie, it just becomes nonsensical.

...

Did anyone else find the pacing and humor in this movie really off-putting? The jokes almost all fell flat and the characters and story felt incredibly rushed and forced. The visuals and themes were fantastic but i can't quite put my finger on what felt so off about this movie. Maybe it's just me.

And to think I used to wonder how the shit the Transformers movies had an audience

A large portion of the length of the movie is fantastic: the writing, the animation, the cinematography, everything is nearly perfect in those scenes. But, the creators clearly ran out of time somewhere.
Coraline and Paranorman are both great, but they both managed to tell a story without having to rush to the finish line. While I liked this one too, I'm not gonna lie through my teeth and tell myself it's good when it clearly isn't.

I saw it with my family the last weekend, the theater was reasonably full of annoying kids and their families.


I barely could contain my boner when that happened.

So you're saying most of the movie was fantastic, but since one thing wasn't as good the movie is bad?

this will almost certainly get a best animated nomination but it won't win the category.

animators vote on who gets nominated, they know that it's stop motion and know all the work and artistry that goes into it. the average old academy member has no idea it exists or if they do they think it's a cheap cg animated thing and will be mad it was nominated over something else their kids or grandkids liked.

too much /pol for you.

Did I saw wrong or it was marked as pg 13? Maybe because of the themes of loss... I wonder if any of these kids will ask their parents about death and afterlife after seeing the movie.

The masks looked just like her. I thought they were triplets, with Kubo's mom being the oldest.

>zootopia isn't even the thing that beats it
>it's something stupid like sausage party or the angry birds movie

>whoever sang for this cove

>doesn't know regina spektor
pleb

Saw this the other day and I was once again blown away by the sheer quality of the visuals. When I see trailers for clear cash grabs like Trolls, Laika restores my faith in western animation with a masterpiece like this. I really enjoyed it; too bad it did bad in the box office and obviously the Academy judges won't give it a second look.

I'm not even saying it's bad, it just isn't good.
Anyway, failing at 1/4 of the movie really isn't a good thing at all, especially when that 1/4 is the climax of the entire film.

What would happen if Angry Birds gets the Oscar?
What would they mean by this?

Not as good as Coraline 2bh.

So has anyone seen what Laika is working on next? Apparently they're adapting a book called Wildwood and another called Goblins.

nah it's gonna be moana.

MAYBE zootopia. definitely disney though.

>TFW NOT A DISNEY MOVIE
To most normies that means it must be trash I guess.

>want to see this movie
>theaters only show the dub in my country

Go watch it so the film gets some of that money, then just buy the non-dub version when it gets released on DVD/Blu-Ray

i want to support the film but I won't pay money to watch something terrible (dubs in my country are unwatchable). I'll just hope they actually release a BD in my country and that it won't be dubbed, too.

It was too slow for kids and normie adults thing animation = kids stuff only, basically animation fans were the only real audience for this film.

Also it had almost no advertising campaign.

>Want to see the movie
>Have no one to go with
Fucking hell why does there have to be so much stigma around doing basically anything alone? You're basically not allowed to do anything if you don't have friends.
