1) Philadelphia Inquirer - If you want to expose your children to a work of art with real soul, you could do a lot worse than Kubo and the Two Strings. (Rating: 100) Read Full Review >
2) Hitfix - Kubo works because it is so direct, so honest about the emotional story it’s telling. Knight may have epic ambitions, but he keeps the stakes very personal. (Rating: 100) Read Full Review >

Worst two reviews:
36) San Francisco Chronicle - What Laika achieves is an effective mixture of hyper-real and hyper-stylized, a combination that keeps “Kubo” appealing to the eye for audiences of all ages. If the film’s plotting and dialogue had measured up, “Kubo” might have been a masterpiece. (Rating: 50) Read Full Review >
37) The Guardian - Little kids will be bored, as there are only a few scenes with any action, and of those, only one, featuring an enormous skeleton with swords sticking out of its skull, has any oomph. (Rating: 40) Read Full Review >
