NCMA Summer Film Series: Kubo and the Two Strings
Big-screen movie magic under the stars has been a cherished NCMA experience for more than 20 years.
Plucky Kubo lives with his mother in an isolated seaside cave, sheltered from the wrath of his grandfather, the evil Moon King. Discovered by his wicked aunts, he embarks on an adventure to seek his father’s magical armor and defeat his vengeful family. This spooky Japanese fairy tale, suitable for older kids, is miraculously crafted of origami-inspired stop-motion animation. Some scenes may be too mature or frightening for young children.
