Emily Berry Well sadly a movie about talking food won the awards, and this movie (Kubo and the two strings) costed $60 million to make while it only earned $68 million. That's only a profit of 8 million dollars! It's time to lose our faith in humanity yet again.

[@keysburntgucci9016]

I love Zootopia too and after recently watching Kubo i'm torn. Seeing tremendous hard work going down in this movie, breaks my heart that it lost to Zootopia. But i still believe Kubo lacked in finishing eventhough it's probably the best visuals and techniques we've seen in the animation.

[@FelicianoCookie]

I love Zootopia and all but I bought this movie as soon as it came out. Amazing and very underrated movie♡

To be honest, I prefer Kubo and the Two Strings over Zootopia, no offense to Zootopia, it was a great movie but the animation in Kubo was more amazing, and the award should've gone for Kubo instead of Zootopia.

I really hate those who hate cgi. what is wrong it. I really love stop motion too, but that is no excuse to dis on cgi. cgi has the same amount of skills and creativity too. especially some of many the cgi stories on youtube, that express far more dark, deep and yet happy mixed emotions than any hand drawn animation, which mainly tends to copy alot from the 16th century and make them more babyish.

[@MikeMessiah]

I must confess, i didn't know it was a stop motion movie. It felt more like a fully animated movie with doll-like art design...Its shocking that this movie was almost a flop ( *$60million budget, but grossed only $68 million* ) I guess people are too dumb to enjoy art and prefer shitty animated movies like Life of Pets and Despicable Me/Minion series

[@linelayfish]

Mike Messiah

[@davidjb3428]

do you think the amount of work put into an animated movie is less "hard" because they are made in a computer and not "hand made"!?.

[@MikeMessiah]

david jb yep. look at modern anime. Its 50% CGI and 50% actual drawing. Modern animated movies dont carry the skill and labour of classic animated movies. Look at japanese Anime, over 600hours of animated content produced in less than a year...thats the power of advanced modern software CGI

[@FlyingFocs]

Mike Messiah I think cgi has it's place, I just don't want it to be the only animation. I don't mind 2d/CG hybrids (Prince of Egypt and the Deep Canvas technique from Disney's Tarzan looks gorgeous, honestly)

[@lucianavasquez4058]

Mike Messiah I agree! But for example, in my place it didn't have enough advertisements, I didn't know about the movie until I went to the cinema and the movie I want to see was sold out so I choose Kubo, so glad I did it, but it was like that.

[@simeondias966]

[@whatcanidooo]

So I watched this movie knowing nothing about it, and I spent the whole time wondering how they did this all with a computer(yes, I really knew nothing). Now I feel like I have to watch it again just so that I can be (even more) completely amazed!

[@nymphicide]

i really want to watch it again as well, so cool!!

[@zamirstuff]

I felt that way when watching Coraline and Corpse Bride (Also by LAIKA Entertainment, LLC.) I felt like watching CGI Because it felt so natural and seamless, and also the textures were different than Plasticine and the design was more realistic, then years after I find out it was stop motion and I was really surprised! and also to find that the texture was different because it was made out of silicone. But yes, even the Web of "the other mom" wasn't CGI

[@DanielEvansMusic]

This is an insane amount of work. I would like to know why the filmmakers didn't go for totally digital animation but exactly replicate the style. Surely digital has to be easier, faster more cost efficient or is it about keeping a tradition. Amazing film anyway. Great work. Fascinating to watch. The artists are very talented.

[@KeshArt]

Same reason why a lot artists still use traditional mediums. They just love that medium!

[@def_leppard_junkie]

I would not say digital is "easier." It is still a lot of work. However, I would agree that animating in stop motion is a lot of labor and leaves very little room for screwing up. It is basically animating straight ahead so a lot of planning has to be done. There is no "Undo button." Laika is a studio that cares very much for quality and are like the modern Jim Henson studio.They have built a brand for themselves, just like Dreamworks and Disney has with their style and technique. There are some things that can be done with stop motion that can not be done in digital and vice versa. I truly admire this studio because they are not doing this for the money, they are doing this for the story and the craft.

[@carlotta4th]

Part of it is just a love for the craft. If you like making models, then sitting at a computer making 3D models instead wouldn't be as rewarding. But I'm sure another part of it is also just that you CAN'T capture this sort of feeling with computers. The closest they've gotten was "Flushed Away" (a CGI rendered film made to look like traditional stop motion animation). And it's a good film with parts of it that get very VERY close to feeling like stop motion--but still not quite the same. A little too clean, perhaps. Maybe the computer lighting gives it away, maybe the fluidity of the animation or scale of detail... I'm not sure what it is. It's a very good imitation but it just doesn't have the same textural feel as a Coraline or Kubo. There's some sort of detail present in the physical animation that computer models can't imitate. Simply put: It's an aesthetic choice. =)

[@PixelElvesGaming]

One word: passion. Sure, stop motions expensive. Sure, it's long and difficult and tiring. Sure, it may not be as polished. But the love of the art form is what keeps laika going with these projects. And just the dedication and love is enough to make it all worth it. I have all my hats off to laika.

[@lwanco1018]

Because they have a love for the craft, it might take a long time to do but the results are worth it.

[@gryla5290]

[@Carmai7]

[@hellowaya]

[@ching.marylouarquiza9838]

I really want everyone to understand how hard they worked on this. YOU HAVE TO APPRECIATE THIS. When i first saw the trailers i thought this was 3D CGI animation and it wasn't stop motion at all. They did so good animating that it doesn't even look like stop motion.

What a mind-blowing wonder! There was so much concentration in those workers' faces, so determined to get every last detail of each model right. They didn't even take notice of the cameras recording them work, also highly impressive. When the footage was in fast pace, to think of how the camera people had to sit there for hours while the staff spent just as long animating less than 1 second of the film. It breaks my heart that this film bombed at the box office! Please don't tell me that most people think stop-motion is old school. So many stop-motion movies throughout history have been much more complex and adult than most CGI movies we get today. Laika and Aardman are full of geniuses and I DO NOT want to see either of them fail in the future. I'll make sure to spread the word to my friends about future stop-motion movies.

Even though 4 or 5 years has passed, this is still THE movie that I still admire and I recommend other people to watch because of how fluid the animation was, how much time the people had to work on this, and basically everything is a great masterpiece. The passion, the caring, the inspiration, the loving, the work, the strength used to create this masterpiece became a very nice piece of art that will never be shattered, because the word Masterpiece means something that had all the elements used to turn anything into something far greater than its current state. Thank you for the people who worked on this film, and most importantly . . . Thank you for reading this, because if you did, I feel like good fortune will appear in your life sometime after . . . Goodbye, Reader . . . See you soon . . . Peace.

God damn stop motion is impressive. It must take forever to do with so much patience!

Ppl...THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN! I was mesmerized with this perfect art!And its more perfect...more than anything!

I find kinda ironic how the main characters of the Laika movies(with the exception of Paranorman) are voiced by child actors who are somehow connected,I mean we had Dakota Fanning voicing the main character in Coraline and her sister Elle voiced the love interest of the main character in Boxtrolls,and then we had Isaac Hempstead-Wright as the main character in Boxtrolls and Art Parkinson as Kubo in Kubo in the two strings,and for a weird irony both of them were in Games of Thrones as the younger Stark brothers.

Scarlett Pheonix I'm sorry but I don't see any irony in any of that
