This morning I went to see Kubo and the Two Strings. I saw it in 3D. It's a moving, funny, compassionate film about families and the magic of storytelling from director Travis Knight and his amazing team at Laika Studios. Big thumbs up from me. When I told them how much I liked it they sent me this: it's a timelapse film of the head of the monkey (played by Charlize Theron) being 3D printed.
I pass it on to you, with my happy endorsement.

Worthy of note:
I've not seen that many great films in the theater this year.  If you look at the reviews I've posted here, I've been entertained but not overly moved so far for 2016. 

I have a soft spot for stop-motion animation.

I have a soft spot for creepy demoness villainesses.

I have a soft spot for family films.

I have a soft spot for swordfights (you all knew this - isn't it a DOOM prerequisite?)

I went with my daughter, and we seldom go to movies together anymore because she's a teen and has teen friends to go with her now.  I really miss going to movies with her so it was a real treat that this was a good one.  

I have another comment but it would be a total SPOILER, so I will refrain until more of you have seen this.
