It’s Kubo and the Magic Sword, or Kubo and the Samari Search. And in Greek it translates back as “two buttons and two strings”. Besides the fact that most (but not all) languages didn't keep the name, I found it strange that they focused on magic sword .
I’d also point out that it’s important to note (just as you did) that Kubo realizes the suit of armor won’t deliver him from his grief in the end (in fact, he discards it); but instead, it’s the song he creates with the strings made from his mother’s hair and his father’s bowstring.

One of LAIKA's trademark themes is the coming of age of tweens to teens, and they always pitch it with a wild adventure to keep it interesting while blending it with serious darkness to highlight the weightiness of puberty and growth. While many films poke fun at pimples and awkwardness, LAIKA tends to portray the period of adolescent development w...
Pop music is not usually synonymous with a LAIKA movie. While most of the company's movies have had musical sequences, none were of the on-the-radio variety.
