Kubo and the Two Strings
Synopsis

In ancient Japan, the Moon King (Ralph Fiennes) sends his henchmen to capture Kubo (Art Parkinson), a boy with a magical shamisen—and a hidden past he knows nothing about. Joined by fierce warrior Monkey (Charlize Theron) and simpleminded samurai Beetle (Matthew McConaughey), Kubo embarks on an epic quest that will guide him to powerful truths about his own family.
