I'm with you, the first half hour were brilliant but the rest of the movie kinda fell flat. It was a lot of going to random places to get random macguffin pieces they need to solve the plot. I'm hopeful Wildwood will have better writing.

Likely, I feel, considering it was literature first. Recent, even.

FWIW, re: Kubo, the animation itself was the shining focus, the story was glitter. ☝🏼
