This even extends to the film's actual plot, which does hit many recognisable beats within the standard "hero's journey" narrative as Kubo is forced on an epic quest to gather the items necessary to fight back against the film's supernaturally relentless villains and save the small village....

This film also has some really exciting action, I have never seen such good action in an animated film in a long time.
