Kubo et l'épée magique

Kubo and the two Strings is a miracle of a movie.

With its staggering visuals and genuine heart, Laika chief Travis Knight's fantastical samurai adventure puts the emotion in stop-motion.

Pas de doute, Kubo et l'épée magique s'impose comme un incontournable de l'été... et de l'année.

Notable contributions also extend to Nelson Lowry’s richly appointed production design, which intricately incorporates thematic elements of origami and traditional Japanese woodblock printing in virtually every frame.

Il y a ce sentiment, lorsque défile le générique de Kubo and the Two Strings, d'avoir assisté à la projection d'un film qui deviendra un classique.

2016 has been an absolutely amazing year for animated movies. The bar has been raised so high that it's difficult to believe than anybody could clear it. And yet, Kubo and the Two Strings has done exactly that.

This boy’s adventure, based on Japanese folklore, is a feast for the eyes even when the characterization is lacking.

One of the most impressive elements of Kubo and the Two Strings—besides its dazzling stop-motion animation, its powerful performances and its transporting score—is the amount of credit it gives its audience, particularly its younger viewers.

Heureusement, l'extrême richesse visuelle - les images lumineuses semblent si texturées qu'on croit presque pouvoir les toucher - compense largement pour les quelques faiblesses de ce conte aux thématiques ambitieuses et étonnamment adultes.
