My Take
What fascinates me about Travis Knight is the road not taken. Born to a Nike fortune, he could have coasted on anything, yet he devoted himself to stop-motion animation, arguably the most painstaking, least glamorous craft in film. Coaxing life from puppets one frame at a time demands monastic patience, and the lush beauty of Kubo and the Two Strings proves it was no rich-kid hobby. His early stint as a rapper only deepens the picture of a restless artist hunting for his real voice. I respect anyone who trades easy comfort for hard, honest creation, and Knight clearly did.
