kubo and the two strings

Kubo lives a quiet, normal life in a small shoreside village until a spirit from the past turns his life upside down by re-igniting an age-old vendetta. This causes all sorts of havoc as gods and monsters chase Kubo who, in order to survive, must locate a magical suit of armor once worn by his late father, a legendary Samurai warrior.

When Kubo summons a flock of birds to distract the skeleton monster their are about 20 pieces of paper with some being orange and some being white. When they take the form of birds they then all turn white and there are about 50 birds, how does that make sense. See more » Quotes Kubo: Don't you ever say anything encouraging?
