Was this the best piece of animation to come out in 2016? Sure

>>89168180
Yes.

>>89168180
Laika will always astound me with the effort they put into things, and in that regard it's essentially unmatched

But it didn't have rabbit ass so it loses out on my tops

not even close

Furtopia and Finding Dory were solidly shit.

>>89168532
I liked Zoo and Moan, didn't give a fuck and skipped Dory.

But Kubo is vastly superior in every field.

>>89168590
Moana was good. Zootopia would have been fine if not for all the heavy handed allegories.

WHOA! Whoa.. whoa... lets not go full-retard here.

>>89168497
You know, I liked all three of those movies, but they don't hold a candle to Kubo.

You forgot the part where that list goes down the line to include obscure direct-to-DVD-tier films such as Quackerz and BoBoiBoy: The Movie mixed together with pretentious art films from Europe that /co/ will never watch.

>implying that The Red Turtle, Tower, The Girl Without Hands, Ethel & Ernest, and My Life as a Courgette aren't better films than any of the films in your picture

>>89168497
Those are bretty good but Kubo was still better

>>89168622
I give that one a pass because it was pretty light handed given the subject is hard not to be blatant with, and its a pretty good set of lessons for the next generation.

"Don't be a little shit because people are different, but don't give people a pass just because they're a minority or The Man because they can be just as much a bunch of cunts as anyone else. Own up to your own fuckups."

I don't like its pro-pop message, but I figure we'll never get another non-pop musical movement again anyway so it doesn't matter.

Kubo was fucking enchanting. It's true that the visuals eclipse the story in terms of quality, but I like how the plot had a very folklore feel to it. I also didn't expect to warm up to Beetle as much as I did.

Honestly Laika could make a film about a piece of shit going through a sewer and if still love it.

When will Laika announce their next film? I can't wait much longer.

>>89168180
American? Yes. I need to see "Your Name."

Also,
>Excellent movie
>Barely makes any money
>Only two movies that do worse are direct-to-video knockoffs in theaters
When did the audience lose their sense of taste?

>>89171740
Can't lose what you never had.

The audience had taste? They voted for Trump.

>>89171740
I suspect the awful ticket sales had to due with poor advertising. I barely saw any hint of the movie before and during its time in theaters.

Same story goes for pretty much every Laika movie, aside from Coraline.

>>89168180
No, it's some French movie that I haven't seen yet because I don't live in one of the two cities it was screened in. I'll see it when it comes out on DVD and this belief will be affirmed.

>>89172328
my life as a zucchini?

I really liked it.

I see a lot of disdain for it though.

>>89168180
actual animation? Yeah
