- Kubo and the Two Strings is a pretty freaking awesome movie that, sadly, has avoided being seen by many mainstream movie fans. But perhaps in counting its sins we can expose some other people to the film who might go on to watch it.
Next week: Recent horror sins and zombie sins that I don't honestly know when it came out.
No movie is without sin. Which movie's sins should count next?

One of the best movies people never watched.
I have seen it and loved it
YES!
I bought the blu-ray...I love showing it to ppl (kids and adults) that have never seen it.
My library held a Screening of this movie!
Saw it twice in theaters and the fact that it didn't do better still makes me sad.
Laika is one of the most under rated movie studios ever. Given us great movies like Coraline, box trolls, and this.
Give laika the respect they deserve
Have you seen their movie Paranorman?! It's criminally underrated and with an impeccable message for kids!!
Thank you for not misspelling "Coraline". Fans would never forgive you for that.
@@gwenpicchi5719 happy now
Coraline was terrifying, Box Trolls was good. To put it without pissing anyone off, I did not enjoy this movie.
This
One of the most beautifully crafted movies in recent memory. Deserved more sins off. Though props at the, "this is how you get aunts," joke. ;)
how was this commented 11 hours ago it was uploaded a minute ago????????
@@Rentals_ninja Patreon
Shut up.
I don't get it, sorry.
Definitely deserved more sins off! Sure, it's not a perfect movie, but it comes incredibly close in many ways!
One thing that I found interesting is that when the grandpa is converted to a human, he has one of Kubo’s eyes. And he is no longer blind. Making him human required him not to be blind anymore to people’s suffering.
He has Kubo's _missing_ eye, even.
this movie was CRIMINALLY underrated, glad to see a big channel covering it
covering it or sinning ittttttttttt
… and bashing it
@@clckc .....true :(
@@chakrawarrior1739 Yep :/
My daughter was 4 years old and begged me to take her to go see this movie. I teared up almost immediately at the beauty of the animation. This movie is so special to me not just because of the story and incredible visuals, but of the time spent with my little girl who still to this day loves this film…
How lovely!
I never took his grandfather as a psychopath per say but emotionally damaged without realizing it. When you boil down his motives all he wanted was to keep his family close to him for as long as possible and the means to achieve that was immortality and god-hood. That desire twisted him into being cold and heartless towards everyone, even his own family over time, because his desire to keep them close was that strong. It's why he hated Hanzo so much, because he was going to take his daughter and then his grandchild away from him, his family, and their forever together.
Kubo and the villagers doing the kindest thing possible and showing him love and acceptance was their way of actually giving him what he truly wanted. By softening his heart he gets to have family and be with them forever but out of love, not desperation.
Your right, what you described is more of a sociopath than psychopath
One of the symbols I love most about this film is that the moon king wanted to take kubos remaining eye so he wouldn’t see the suffering of the world and be moved by it, become perfect and aloof and immortal, permanent but lesser.
Instead him giving the grandpa the eye that was taken from him to turn him human and not be blind to the world was just so powerful to me when I watched it. That living blind to the worlds troubles might mean a more perfect seeming life, but you lose the chance to make an impact in this world.
Little 17 year old me thought it was beautiful
In case anyone was curious, the "guitar" in this movie is called a "shamisen". They're sorta a part guitar, part drum instrument, the part at the bottom is hollow with a skin stretched over it, and the sound can change depending on the type of skin used.
This movie was so good i was so obsessed and impressed with the stop motion when it first released ♥️😭
Maybe this is bias but I felt that more sins off for the art and dedication in creating this alone were warranted. Kubo is one of the most thoughtfully crafted and even written family/children’s movies I’ve ever seen and especially from the 2010s.
Also yes this video has reminded me that those twins are basically my sleep paralysis demons and I’ll need a week to sleep again. (This is coming from an avid horror fan too).
This movie is fantastic, worthy of owning for the personal archives
I remember watching this as a kid and i didn't appreciate it's greatness, now I'm an animator and i cry at it's awesomeness everytime.
The "Do you want Aunts? Because thats how you get Aunts" joke was perfect.
The whole love conquest thing was never about a person as an object. It was about the person in their entirety. Hence why it's considered 'romantic' because it means someone believes you are the most important person in their life that they'd dedicate their life to you.
I’ve never been more pleasantly surprised than the evanescence references in a cinemasins video
This is one of my favorite movies strictly because of the worlds largest stop motion puppet (the giant skeleton) I even wrote an essay about it for one of my classes, it’s just so cool
Me and my ex were planning to go see Sausage Party at the cinema, it was her choice, and I was going to just go along with it. Then I saw the trailer for this, and I'm so glad I did, Kubo is just incredible and really deserves more praise
I love this movie. One of the best clay animation produced by Lakia
Technically it's not Clay it's a composition. 😉 😀
The fact that I appreciate that _Devil's Advocate_ bit so much makes me feel old. My roommate is three years older than me and I _still_ haven't gotten him to sit through the whole thing.
"You want Aunts? This is how you get Aunts" was way funnier than it deserved to be
How does one even Create a Cinema Sins out of this Movie
11:44 You can't get decompression sickness on a breath-hold, generally speaking. Freedrivers almost never get the bends. It's on-gassing nitrogen (or other gasses, at great enough depth and time) that causes DCS, and you just can't get enough nitrogen into your bloodstream with the limited total volume, duration, and possible depth reached during a breath-hold.
It doesn't really explain why he has the ability to hold his breath like a freediver, but the rest isn't an issue.
Magic! It explains it anyway you want.
It depends on the deep you must face and the consequent pressure. 1 atm more every 10 meters more deep, it is easier for him to drown meanwhile
@@ANIMATIONLOVERBT Pretty sure those guidelines are written based on research from people using breathing gas though, such as in a scuba or rebreather set up. Like it's true that the pressure change at depth will be the same for everyone. But the limiting factor here is how much nitrogen can actually get dissolved in the blood, and that is limited by the fact a freediver only has one lung-full of breathing gas, not a canister.
15:06-15:32 You know, that was something I asked as well when I initially saw this film, but now I have come to understand that was a much more cruel fate than just killing them, contorting his form and taking away the memories of what he had, and also serving to explain it wasn't that the ritual was BS earlier, but that his father had technically never died, so of course he would not have contacted him.
I really love the nature of perspective in this movie. How everyone has their own story about how things happened. For mom, she found her compassion and empathy when she went with Hanzo, for the sisters, one felt betrayed and angered by someone who she looked up to while the other delighted in contorting and corrupting the form of the father (which, by the way, explained so much when you rewatch it and ties back really well to the end.), the moon king feeling like he lost his family, embarrassed by them all and wanting to keep his grandson, and Kubo feeling in his lost that he needed to defeat the "monster" who took his family away. Frankly, it's amazed me how well that aspect of the film has held up for me. Not to mention a nicely subversive conclusion in that force was not the answer to this fight, as to have been expected with the last two also finding the less obvious conclusions.
TL;DR Sin rebuttle and the nature of one's perspective is great.
God what an underrated gem
This movie hit way above its weight class.
Now do Jiang Ziya.
12:00 decompression sickness/ the bends only happens when diving with compressed air so kubo would actually be fine. he would still probably pass out from how long he is under water so sin approved.
I remember the first time I saw this. I was young, far too young to understand the deep themes (I’m only 14 now) but I instantly recognised that this movie was something special. Me and my family were sleeping in the living room together, watching movies as we so often did. I convinced them to put on this film because I thought it looked cool. From that opening to watching alibi bring the origami to life for the first time, something inside me just knew the film was special. My family was bored out of their minds. We got maybe halfway through and my Mum turned it off and had us go to sleep. In the morning, I woke up first and instantly raced over to finish it whilst they were still sleeping. Loved every second of it, I still remember my few during the Grandfather’s monologue during the climax. The film was incredible, and now that I’m older I can appreciate all the deep, mature, subtle themes and messages and ideas that the movie pushes, and my keen eye for detail in film allows me to pick up on all the little details that so many others would miss.
And don't forget the cover of while my guitar gently weeps is also outstanding. Amazing film.
Seeing this movie in theaters was so much fun! Love this movie and I’m surprised that so many didn’t see it
ok this was a good one. the jokes were hilarious and I agreed with most of the critical sins.
I'm surprised you didn't talk about kubo being barely affected by his mother just dying, specially because it was partly his fault. that was probably my least favorite part of the movie. the man just saw his mother die because he didn't listen to her advice, but then was just trying to ass penetrate the monkey a day later. there wasn't even really scene of him looking particularly sad or feeling guilty.
I remember watching this movie at some point when I was a child and I never remembered what it was called, I could never find it after and I thought it was a fever dream or something and became content that I would never see it again because I thought it was imaginary and no one else could ever remember the movie, finally I know what the name of the movie is!
I feel like you guys had a really fun time with this one. Some of the best jokes/sins ever. Well done everyone! 🙂
“This is how you get Aunts” is the best joke as of yet on this channel. Well done!
Jeremy I just have to say one thing. You have been killing it the last couple of weeks. I know there's a group of people behind you but you just sound happier. I'm really happy for you. Happy happy happy happy happy
"The chicken is funny"
CinemaSins: The Moana Writing Room 😂😭🤣😭🤣😭
I'm surprised you didn't sin that the Moon King's goal was the exact same as the Other Mother's goal in Laika's first film, Coraline: to remove the protagonist's eyes.
This is how you get aunts was too damn good
This movie feels like a combination of Studio Ghibli and Samurai Jack. It literally doesn't get better than this
I absolutely adored this film. Up there with Coraline.
11:40 - That was the best word play you've ever done. XD
And the other is Legolas-than useful, later… XD
The Evanescence references made me laugh harder than they should've
"Legolas-than-helpful" got me lmao
I remember seeing this at home with my family around my birthday and this was what got me into lakai studio since I hadn’t seen coralline, box trolls, and paranorman but did after they were great so I have been excited for this video
This is one of my absolute favorite movies. It's gorgeous, powerful, and just amazing. It TOTALLY got snubbed at the Oscar's by Zootopia....
It's so underappreciated, and a masterpiece. I almost didn't wanna watch this cause I love it so much haha!
I've recently learned that the studio that produces these movies, Laika, is ran by Phil Knight's son. Phil Knight, founder of Nike, is actually listed as the owner. So even though these movies do not break the bank, profit margins have declined intensely since Coraline, they will be coming out as long as Nike is profitable.
I love these movies, and can't wait for the upcoming releases!
Edit: Reading the comments has shown these movies are loved by many, which warms my cold, pessimistic heart as nobody I know knows these films. Good looking out Sins community
One of the few movies where i watched the credit screen was very interesting to see the work behind the movie
6:00-6:06. “This is real.” It is not. “This is not a story.” It is. That probably made me laugh more than it should have.
You asked 3 questions after she said that there could only be 3 asked, so that is great attention to that detail and I love it
When I saw the title I was ready to fight you
As a person who commented less than a minute after this video came out, I can confirm that I have not yet watched it but will comment like I have anyways.
I loved what they did with the Moon King at the end, mostly because I didn't expect it. Ultimately the film was about forgiveness, and it destroyed me. Although I _had_ had too much beer at that point, so that may have had something to do with the feelings.
Also, you guys were on a roll with these puns today!
Double also, _fuck you_ for the Weeping Angels thing.
Now that's a movie I haven't heard in a long time.
A long time.
I watched this at the beginning of the pandemic. 3 years ago in March. One of the best I've ever seen. Masterpiece. Helped me forget for a bit that the world was going to shit
I love this movie! Today is the best day ever because y'all posted this video (i haven't even watched it yet, I'm too excited) thank you Cinemasins
jeez good timing i was just thinking about this movie
I loved this movie! I thought it was clearly made with passion and deserved so much more recognition then it got
I fully believe that Kubo is a movie that everyone should see at least once
This is a great film and wished yall had shown some of the credits as well. But also, i think the "You are my Quest" wasnt reslly what you took it to mean. I belive Kubo's dad was trying to get across that his dedication to making Kubo's mither happy was his everlasting quest. "You are my quest" basically translates to, "I live to sustain you and your happiness ". Its not so much objectification as it is an oath to his partners' wellbeing
15:50 Jeremy getting so mad 🤣
I will ALWAYS remember this film because my uncle died exactly the same way the first scene shows 3 days before I watched it in the theatre.
True story.
that "Atomic Bonobo" is a great One Punch Man reference
“This is how you get aunts!”
Sheer genius.
I saw this movies trailer on YT watched the trailer then accidently back out of it and it refreshed. Couldn't find it since until know.
Cinema Sin's pun game was on point today.
About time. I was considering you doing this
Still my favorite Stop Motion movie. Such a powerful story.
Great review
This is probably one of my favorite videos on the Cinema Sin channel.
Props for the Devil's Advocate reference.
"This is how you get aunts" Loved the twist on your in-joke
No sin off for the absolutely beautiful shamisen cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps during the end credits? Hell, it's worth at least ten sins off. gniD.
“That’s Amore” I literally just heard that song for the first time, yesterday when I was watching No Good Nick.
Stories like this make me wish Laika would do a remake of the Lord of the Rings.
Imagine Laika readapting Harry Potter and making it closer to the source material...
I loved this movie so much. The goosebumps and magic is forever embedded in my brain
What a short video since this a beautifully perfect movie with no sins. Crazy.
ive been waiting actual years for this
I forgot I watched this and liked it when it came out, like has not entered my mind since the week I watched it
That sudden Devil's advocate reference was PERFECT!
How tf do I remember 80% of this movie when I haven’t watched it since a decade?!
Having just watched Devil's Advocate this past week, that Pacino quote had me rolling!!! Just everything ❤😂❤😂
that movie gives me nightmares
This movie was so good
The grandpa grants Kubo's wish, play the villain, "lose" to love
You want aunts? coz this is how you get aunts..... 😆well played sir.
15:59 Best Line ever
Short answer: Nothing! Kubo is a masterpiece!
This studio makes some of the best stop motion animated things I have ever seen in my life
When I turned 6 I saw this movie in theaters for my birthday and I was obsessed this movie was one that I was mad at him sinning but was happy when he took sins off for just what mattered
I watched this in the cinema with my son and 5 other random people, who had perfect manners. Love this movie.
Its actually sad, how underrated this movie is. 😢
Travis Knight should do an episode of LOVE, DEATH and ROBOTS
This movie is one of the most beautifully animated and beautifully executed movies ever - so ridiculously underrated
One of my top ten. Had to see this
CAUSE IT'S THE PICK, OF DESTINY ♫ 0:31
The Devil's Advocate reference was just Awesome!😂
This movie, like Laikas other movies, is an underwatched treasure. Beautiful movie.
@CinemaSins I have a question, when you edit your videos to include clips from movies and TV shows, what software do you use? I want to edit a movie I have on disc to remove a few scenes. Every time I try and rip the DVD to an editable file format, the quality is terrible. How do you include scenes from movies in your videos? What is the process to do so? Thanks.
this movie scared me so much when I was younger but I would always rewatch it, it’s amazing!
Fantastic movie, but casting Matthew Mackahawoughphnaheigheye as a samurai beetle was only alright alright alright
This movie is amazing, feels like a video game almost
