‘Kubo and the Two Strings’ Final Trailer, New Clip, and Behind the Scenes Images Unveiled

kubo-bow-and-arrow

As the release date to Kubo and the Two Strings draws nearer, three exciting promos popped up recently: a final trailer, a short clip, and a look behind the scenes.

The first clip released from Focus Features reveals the movie’s humor and spooky mystery as Kubo, Beetle, and Monkey try to retrieve a sword from a skeletal hand. It gives you an instant callback to the creepiness of LAIKA’s second feature film ParaNorman which begs the question: will this movie be too scary for some children?

 

The fourth and final trailer is short but very sweet as we see Kubo interact with his mother, before showing us more of the magic and imagination we’ve come to expect from LAIKA.

 

Haleigh Foutch, a journalist for Collider, was lucky enough to visit LAIKA studios in Portland, Oregon, to photograph behind the scenes of Kubo and the Two Strings. Below is a mere sample of the astounding effects and detail that goes into the studio’s stop-motion animated features. See over ninety more behind the scenes photos of puppets, sets, costumes, and props on Collider here.

Kubo and the Two Strings is an epic adventure set in a fantastical Japan. 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. 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 (Charlize Theron) and Beetle (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.

Focus Features will release Kubo and the Two Strings from animation studio LAIKA nationwide on August 19, 2016.

What do you think of the latest trailer and clip? Are you hyped to see this movie?
