Beautiful stop-motion animation exploring the gorgeous Japanese culture where a young boy has to find a magical suit of armour to defeat a vengeful spirit. I'm not sure how children will react to this as it is a little scary in parts but it looks wonderful and being a little obsessed with Japan i loved the story and how it is told. Both moving and exciting with well rounded characters this somehow feels real even with all the fantastical creatures and events. LAIKA studios are the official kings of excellent storytelling via stop-motion and they never disappoint using humour and emotion and an all star voice cast this is one of the best films of 2016.
Like This Watch These: The Boxtrolls (2014) More fun and family drama from LAIKA, Coraline (2009) A creepy family drama from LAIKA, Paranorman (2012) LAIKA and Norman take on Zombies.
