Watch: A Mesmerizing Trailer for Kubo and the Two Strings

Watch an Epic Teaser for Laika's 'Kubo and the Two Strings'

LAIKA is currently the best stop-motion studio in the world - from a purely technical point of view; but it's also a place where the story and characters matter. Which makes it awesome. After Coraline, ParaNorman and The Boxtrolls, here's a first look at the next movie from the Oregon-based company: Kubo and the Two Strings.

LAIKA Announces ‘Kubo and the Two Strings’

In spite of receiving a more mixed reaction than its predecessors, The Boxtrolls is doing quite well for itself in the awards season. It has recently scored a Golden Globe nomination and it currently leads the Annies with 13 nominations. That being said, LAIKA has already set its sights on its next film (one of three more films to be made in its extended partnership with Focus Features). And here’s the good news: it already sounds awesome.
