* After escaping the Temple of Bones and crash-landing on the beach, Beetle dramatically whimpers "Everything! Turning! Black!" Monkey's response? "Then open your eyes."

Added DiffLines:

* Even though it's supposed to be an intense scene, there's a brief instance of comedy when an amused Washi (one of Kubo's Aunts) bemusedly remarks "You've been together all this time, and you haven't even realized?" To this, Monkey and Beetle confusedly exchange funny looks, as though wondering "Is she really [[ShipperOnDeck shipping us]] ''[[MoodWhiplash at a time like this]]''?"

It's not the same guy, actually.


* The villager voiced by Creator/GeorgeTakei almost vomits at a particularly gruesome scene in Kubo's story. Need we remind you, the story is entirely played out with ''[[FauxHorrific paper figures]]''.
** He also uses his trademark "Oh ''my''" when little Hanzo decapitates the origami fire-breathing chicken.

Added DiffLines:

* While it's supposed to be a heartwarming moment, Kubo and his mother have one such moment whilst talking about [[TellMeAboutMyFather what his father was like]]. She describes him in such a fashion that momentarily gives a bit of comic-relief:
-->'''Sariatu:''' [He was] strong, and clever and funny ([[PlayedForLaughs facetiously]]) and ''oh-so handsome''!
-->'''Kubo:''' Ugh! Mother!
-->'''Saritua:''' (laughing) Come on!

** Funnier still: Japanese myth includes a fire-breathing chicken (called a Basan or Basabasa). Perhaps Kubo's stories led to the creation of this myth in this universe?

* According to Travis Knight, Art Parkinson and Matthew [=McConaughey=] were given sushi to eat in the recording room and instructed to make the grossest eating noises in order to give Kubo and Beetle their food-eating sounds. We can only go by his description of how unspeakably gross the sounds were.
** Sometimes, they had to make Art Parkinson laugh in order to get Kubo's laugh. They succeeded, but at the cost that he ''spit'' food across the floor. Knight says it looked like a "crime scene". He gives his apologies to the custodian.
* Travis Knight describing that Laika seems to get a reputation as a NightmareFetishist obsessed with the macabre. ...and he doesn't deny it.
