I love the opening lines "if you must blink, do it now" because sure, it creates focus and drama, but also if you blink you miss like a week of the animators' work
The fact that this lost the Oscar to Zootopia will never not make me angry.
To be fair… Zootopia IS pretty amazing too…
…but, yeah, I see your point.
Zootopia?! THIS lost the Oscar to ZOOTOPIA? That's a literal crime
Oscar's literally riding Disney's/pixars bro 🗿
@DRBY Yup, even though their animation is going way down, you can tell by the animation in Strange World
@@itscherylplayz8925 I swear if puss in boots 2 loses the Oscar to strange world, all hell is gonna break loose💀
FINALLY! I’ve been begging reactors to watch this one for years!
Although they spend the movie looking for weapons, Kubo actually defeats his grandfather with music, storytelling, and his link to the villagers. I saw the bit at the end as rewriting the grandfather's story. And if the villagers treat him like the kind, socially-connected person they say he is, might that help him actually become that?
I totally recommend Paranorman by Laika as well.
Unfortunately laika doesn’t make a lot of money for their movies, usually due to poor marketing. That said, the founder is connected familial (I think) with Nike. And Nike basically keeps the studio operating. One of the only good times nepotism actually caused good lol
Yes! Paranorman is really good too. I like the movie The Book of Life too. It’s not stop motion though.
I love ParaNorman!
You’re right, the CEO of Laika is the son of Nike’s co-founder. On top of keeping them open it also means that their animators are fairly paid with can unfortunately be rare…
Yeah their marketing is very dissapointing. When I went to see missing link my mom and I were the only ones there to see it. I would not have known about that movie if I wasnt subscribed to Laika's RUclips channel. Its a shame cause their animation is beautiful
Yeah but they have 3 movies that have to comes out soon,one more cool than other
I think the point in the end was partially about changing stories (from the imperious and murderous Moon King to the grandfather everyone loves) and partially about the power of community. Grandfather wanted his family isolated and “safe” from humanity, Mom kept Kubo isolated and “safe” from her family- if not for Kubo risking himself to sneak out and bond with the village then his story really would have been over when Monkey and Beetle died. He would have had nothing left. And instead he had the support of all the people his previous stories brought together.
I love how the "blindness" thing and how it ties into the memory thing and how we live on, also ties into the opening narration. "If you look away, even for an instant, then our hero will surely perish."
And, how Kubo took notice of the little things, paying attention to small things. Like having a meal with your family, knowing what your parents were like. There are so many times that we forget to take notice of these things, we forget to look at all those small beautiful things.
I think the grandfather is a representation of how we are sometimes blind to those small but powerful moments. And, and when he became mortal he was suddenly able to see, and became reliant on the small stories from others.
Fun fact: According to some people this movie could be a sequel to the story called "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" about a princess from the Moon who is discovered as a baby inside the stalk of a glowing bamboo plant.
Weren't there at least 2 film adaptations?
@@zvimur I'm not sure I just know that people were calling this a sequel when Kubo came out.
I heard it that it was the tale of princess kaguya
That's interesting. Never thought to even link the two stories at all.
@@simperorbubba_link8441 yeah that's where my mind is
Personally, I think this is one of the best animated films ever made. I love the story, and the style is so unique and gorgeous. I was big into origami when I was younger, so when I saw the trailer for this movie, I knew I had to see it.
No James really getting angry at how good everything looks is relatable. What the heck indeed
I looked into the sister's outfits actually as I'm planning to do their outfits but based in reality. Their outfit is a mix between samurai armor and ninja outfits, like historical ninjutsu outfits. So is the father's armor if I remember correct, just a different kind of era armor.
Ninjitsu are Japanese tho as well
@@whitenoisereacts Well yeah? It's all Japanese... xD
Made by Laika starring Kubo, a boy with a guitar with a monkey and a samurai warrior as they face off against a evil overlord. This is stop-motion animated
Imagine trying to make a stop motion film this beautiful and fluid back in the 1990s when the Nightmare Before Christmas released. It would have driven anyone insane. Thankfully with advancements in technology it's made these types of film a bit less tedious by letting studios mass produce various face templates. Still, it's a lot of work and only those truly committed to the art will push through to the end.
I forgot how much I loved this movie. It’s really up there with some of the best
I have no idea if you ever watch the ending credits for these films but, if you haven't, they have fun connections to them making the stop-motion animation at the end of all of their films (Kubo's in particular has a fun moment involving the giant skeleton). I'd love to see your reactions to those.
38:10, frankly Fienness is scarier as Moon King, than as Voldemort.
I hate about how underated this movie is. This is truly a masterpiece movie
This movie is my second favourite Laika movie so far, after Coraline
I'm still to this day so OBSSESSED with the sisters, they're my lockscreens on everything and I constantly watch both of the battles because they're so beautifully intense
Fun fact about the skeleton monster they fight to get the sword, it was actually gigantic, like legit huge, you should check out behind the scenes on it
"If you must blink, do it now!"
fun fact that I love sharing about the creation of this, in the begining where it's Kubo's mom in the ocean it WAS mostly practical affects! they had a grid of metal bars that would move up and down like flowing water, and it gave that sort of geometric shape to the waves and how they were spaced! they added cg on top for the foam and the big waves and the details but the set up was still practical :) also the giant skeleton is one of, if not THE biggest stop motion puppet ever made!!
The ending theme, While My Guitar Gently Weeps cover on shamisen (by Regina Spektor) is unironically on my Spotify playlist. It's fantastic.
Seeing this film opening night on 2 hits of acid legit changed my life...I didnt know anything about it besides the sisters looking cool in the trailer but once I got in and could recognize the stop motion and had to take in all the music, story, artistry and epicness..life changing doesn't even cover it
Another Great Laika Stop motion,
PARANORMAN. Its so awesome
I was wondering if you would ever consider looking at The Dark Crystal or it’s series (even just one episode)? It’s a fully live action movie done with puppets and is an artistic inspiration. The original movie from the 1980’s wasn’t the best story wise but the art behind all the puppetry and world building is phenomenal, and the Netflix series is only more so
So disappointed they aren't going to make more seasons of "The Dark Crystal"! Loved that series!
@@runicrhyme4709 it’s really so sad! I’m desperately in love with the art and production of the series
THID PUHLEEAASEEE
This is one of my favorites stop-motion movies out theree. So glad that you react on this hehe. Im really excited on the upcoming horror movies you guys are going to react 😄, this is gonna be a long Halloween movie session wth you guys 🥂🥂
It is a shamisen, and the amazing cover of the Beatles While My Guitar Gently Weeps by Regina Spektor at the end is also performed on a shamisen.
My own personal thought on the theme of the movie is the power of memories. Or as Hamilton puts it, "who lives, who dies, who tells your story."
the coolest thing about the CG is a lot of it was using textures and animations made from practical stop-motion elements that were then composited and enhanced with CG. Like, for the water there was a number of different physical things they put together to make it look the way it does. Which is part of why it blends with the rest of the animation so well.
Also I think the ending is a little bit that... we are the stories we tell ourselves. So he is given the chance to see what his daughter and his grandson loved in the world, and the chance to be a different and better person by giving him a different story.
Now that you guys have done Coraline and Kubo I think it’s inevitable that you do Paranorman! It is my favorite and perfect for Halloween!
I love this movie! I saw it in 2019 or 2020
I love this movie, I was so excited when you guys uploaded this!
Ralph Fiennes, he's the grandfather! I just noticed!
My favourite movie of story telling. Barely a name spoken but it isn't needed. This is in my top 5 movies.
As for the grandfather ending part, I like to think back to the line: "If you must blink, do it now...." His grandfather wanted to make him blind, the eternal blink where upon the hero that is Kubo would perish forever. Now as a mortal with his sight returned, his grandfather could find a hero within himself.
You should watch 'Rise of the Guardians' of Dreamworks great movie good animation but so underrated.
I love that movie
this movie is incredibly underrated!
one of my favorites
!!!!!! Yessssss you watched this, there are so few reactions to this
Here before the title typo is fixed! Hahaha looking forward to this one!!
“Dude, if you’d told me I was gonna be this invested in a monkey and a beetle on a leaf boat, I would be like, ‘You’re crazy’” 28:44
yaaaaaaay, i was looking forward to this one Kubo is my favourite stop motion animated film ever. and Laika is amazing
Finally someone did it!!!
All of Laika's stop motion movies are just so amazing, they improve a little bit with each one they make, I can only recommend each single one of them
in order their movies so far are: Coraline, ParaNorman, Boxtrolls, Kubo and Mister Link
I love this movie to death. The sisters are so COOL.
Some of my favorite animated villains
I highly, highly, highly recommend y'all watch "The Tale of the Princess Kaguya" (2013) by Studio Ghibli. It's gorgeously animated in an interesting, painterly fashion, and there are similar themes involving the Moon (or the heavens) that I feel you'd both enjoy
Saw you uploaded and shouted "KUBO! YES!"
Laika studios made 2 of the largest stop motion monsters ever in this film the first obviously being the skeleton that stood 15 feet tall and the second ones being the sea monster eyes which were 8 feet tall and that puppet was mostly remote controlled
Imperfection gives characteristic when 9TB said about hand animation
The instrument is a shamisen, or at least close enough.
The red plants are likely a type of Japanese maple tree.
There’s a brief “making of the movie” video about this movie and your mind will be blown.
Yes thank you... I love Kubo! ❤❤❤
This might be just me I'm not an expert, the instrument Kubo is using seems more like a Biwa to me? Might just be me but I think that is what is is, especially since it's mostly used during narrative story-telling.
I'm so happy you guys watched this movie. I love it!
I love this movie, it's so touching and beautiful, has an amazing soundtrack, and I wish more people reacted to this on YT!
If you watch the end credits, after "while my guitar gently weeps" you will get to see the giant skeleton model
Another common take on the ending is Moon King is blind to the emotions of human kind, so by hitting him with the raw emotional blast of those stories they gave him and eye and this unlocked a human connection. He wanted to take Kubo's eyes to make him blind to the world because to him a god is above human emotion. By hitting him with the magic formed from people's memories it gave Moon King an eye. This in turn gave him a human form. The villagers then used this as a way to start over and give him a blank slate. A god that was blind to the world was more or less given human form and now lives within it. People lied because they see that he really is a blank slate they could save. They hold no ill will so this stories are to give him a happy life. Moon King was never evil just misguided. By opening him up to the world they awakened a kind old man that was hidden deep within him.
I've seen the giant skeleton and the eye monster puppets in real life and they're absolutely terrifying
I strongly recommend Paranorman
Paranorman next
This is one of the most beautiful movies.
I think I remember every Film by Laika there’s behind the scenes in the end .
I hope y'all will do Paranorman!
Have you guys seen the short behind-the-scenes of the skeleton puppet at the end of the credits?
LAIKA are the makers of beautifully animated thought-provoking features that NOBODY goes to see.
Loved your reaction! This movie is just pure poetry.
Oh for sure!!
Havent watched this and I alredy love it!!!
You should look at “Wallace and Grommit the curse of the were bunny” for the stop motion/claymation 😁 or even “Frankenweenie” 😊
Спасибо. Thank you.
You should watch other Laika films as well, can’t wait for their next movie “Wild Woods”
Please react to The Little Prince,
That film was Criminally underrated MASTERPIECE!
Made my emotions in a roller coaster on that ❤️
Since spooky season is coming up, if you haven’t already I would recommend corpse bride and Paranorman both are also stop motion pictures and are great as well. Also Fantastic Mister Fox is pretty unique as well.
You should guys should check out Jason and the Argonauts if you want to see a classic of early stop motion effects.
I highly recommend for you to watch Boxtrolls. It might be my favorite Laika movie
You really should watch behind the scenes after this
Can you please react to ParaNorman? It’s made by the same studio. It’s such a good movie.
12:41 "Hello, Danny".
This was robbed of an Oscar. It lost to Zootopia.
I was gonna ask if either one of you did animation or 3D stuff in the last livestream what a coincidence
Would love to see ninetail brushes animations! I’m also an animator!
You guys should check some of the behind the scenes. (I`m pretty sure there`s behind the scenes videos in the Laika RUclips Channel).
Also... there's a end cretits scene showing the skeleton puppet.
yayy, so excited to watch this! :) if you'd want, you should definitely continue this Laika movie marathon by watching ParaNorman! :) such an incredible underrated film!!
I would love to see you guys react to animated films made my Catoon Saloon Studio:
Secret Book of Kells
Song of the Sea
Wolfwalkers
Don't forget The Breadwinner!
Not stop motion or studio Ghibili but I highly recommend reacting to the animated movie Weathering With You if you guys havn't already seen it.
Paranorman by Laika and Isle of Dogs by Wes Anderson
I'm shocked you both don't know Charlize Theron. She's been one of the highest-paid actresses worldwide this past decade, doing both dramatic work and action roles, and she won several prestigious awards including an Oscar (and two more nominations) throughout her career. Watch Mad Max Fury Road immediately.
Fantastic Mr. Fox
POG CHAMP
Kubos ending speech didn't make sense to me or the rest of my family, maybe someone can explain?
This movie so awesome that you mispelled the title
THSI
If you guys are interested in stop motion, you should react to The nightmare before Christmas and James and the giant peach if you haven’t seen them yet.
did you watch the end credits with the making of the giant skeleton ?
What's with Laika and the villains wanting the protagonists eyes.... I feel a certain Phineas and Ferb reference applies here.
Thsi
PLEASE WATCH THE TALE OF PRINCESS KAGUYA!! ITS SOOO GOOD AND WOLFWALKERS UNIQUE STYLES OF ANIMATION
PLEASe also see Corpse bride!!! and Paranorman.!!
If you haven't yet watched Spielberg's 2011 Tintin movie, I recommend it.
Could you please watch scary stories to tell in the dark
Hey, on the title of the video it says, THSI IS AWSOME, instead of, THIS IS AWESOME. Sorry, I just had to point that out.
Why does it say no copyright?
In the show?
