Question: Well, 2016 is finally over. It's been a long year and our first regularly scheduled Bridge Movie Night season. [Can you believe that it's been two years](https://gaming.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/10160/bridge-movie-night)? Putting aside how old I'm making you all feeling, it's time to begin another year of Bridge Movie Nights! Popcorn, the silver screen, exciting stories, and our wonderful Arqade community! Let's have another great year of movie-watching.

A new addition I'm making to our Movie Nights is the introduction of a Google Calendar. I'll post it both here and in the canonical [So You Want to Attend Movie Night](https://gaming.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/11441/so-you-want-to-attend-movie-night) post when it's ready.

[Scheduling votes will be taken here](http://www.strawpoll.me/12069621) and votes will be tallied and a decision will be made by the end of this month (January).

Answer: 
Kubo and the Two Strings
========================

This looks like a fun little movie good for the whole family, with some pretty solid animation. The critical reception to the movie was been really positive as well. Summary courtesy of google is:

> 
> Young Kubo's peaceful existence comes crashing down when he accidentally summons a vengeful spirit from the past. Now on the run, Kubo joins forces with Monkey and Beetle to unlock a secret legacy. Armed with a magical instrument, Kubo must battle the Moon King and other gods and monsters to save his family and solve the mystery of his fallen father, the greatest samurai warrior the world has ever known.
