Kubo and The Two Strings

Saw Dad off for the Bristol 10K this morning, it was probably the earliest I'd gotten up on a Sunday in a little while. We all went for a walk shortly after, ending up at the Tobacco Factory's pop-up market and street food stands. Got the most incredible Jamaican jerked chicken wrap which made the trek all the way to that corner of Bristol worthwhile.

This evening Rebecca and I wereeant to have guests round, but they had to cancel last minute, so we tucked into Kubo and the Two Strings, while it was occasionally flawed film, you could tell there was real heart being poured into the film, and that stood out to me during and long after watching it. It was great to see a film that was actually had a slower pace than most animated films these days, the opening especially set the stage for the mood of it all very well and it stayed true to itself throughout. It was also a bit unsettling and violent at times, so while it may be a tad scary for younger audiences, I say let 'em watch it and be scared!
