“Ever sin­ce his grand­fa­ther, the Moon King, rob­bed him of his left eye, the young sto­rytel­ler Kubo has had to be wary of the dark­ness. Because the Moon King is also after his other eye. When Kubo acci­den­tal­ly for­gets the time one day, he nar­row­ly escapes ano­ther attack thanks to a powerful spell cast by his mother and regains con­scious­ness in the midd­le of a snow­storm. He is sent on a quest to find the magi­cal armor of his miss­ing father, a gre­at samu­rai war­ri­or […]. Kubo soon finds loy­al allies on his adven­tur­ous jour­ney, which also brings him clo­ser to his fami­ly histo­ry, in a tal­king mon­key with white fur and a samu­rai stuck in a giant insect body.” (trans­la­ted from kinofenster.de)
