Event Details
Hailed as one of 2016's best films, Kubo and the Two Strings is a breathtaking stop-motion animation brought to life by Studio Lakia. Travel to ancient Japan and join Kubo on a perilous quest for magical armor that once belonged to a father he's never known. With the help of a talking monkey and beetle, Kubo must face his fears and overcome great obstacles. In the words of Kubo, "if you must blink, do it now" now so you don't miss a second of this beautiful film.
