Mojoguy Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I agree with you, except that isn't Kubo the lead? So perhaps "Lead goes on adventure with wacky sidekick" would be more accurate? You mean the little girl isn't the lead? They have certainly been marketing it that way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoguy Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) What?! I've been thinking the lead was a girl since the first teaser came out! HAHAHAHA! Wow, the lead is very androgynous. Edited July 19, 2016 by Mojoguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so confused, I thought you knew Kubo was male and I was re-watching the trailer and I was like "who is this girl he is talking about?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhawk the Hutt Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 When I saw the trailer in front of Dory, I also thought Kubo was a girl, until the tag line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Lol, it never even crossed my mind Kubo would be a girl. Maybe I've seen too many animes, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Female lead goes on adventure with wacky male sidekick, with some heartwarming scenes maybe. This certainly looks like their most appearing movie yet. Coraline and Norman were too scary and Boxtrolls was kind of weird. Lol, this doesn't have a female lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morieris Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Quote though its Asian setting, handicapped hero, and relaxed pace will make it an even tougher sell than the studio’s previous modest-grossing toons. I hate that. Animation isn't just about displaying frantic nonsense. Sincerely hope that this can be their breakout hit to the mainstream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
