Kubo and the Two Strings represents one of those highly anticipated films carrying the burden of living up to lofty expectations. Prior to the actual film release numerous articles were written about it building the hype to stratospheric levels. In a world driven by social media, the average movie fan’s ability to tune out such influence is exceedingly difficult. After viewing Kubo and the Two Strings with my two favorite movie reviewers aka my kids, we left the movie theater in a state of disappointment. All that was left for me to do was to process what went wrong.
