Animated comedy adventure featuring the voices of Hugh Jackman, Zach Galifianakis and Zoë Saldana. Struggling Victorian explorer Sir Lionel Frost sets out to find the legendary Sasquatch in an effort to prove his worth. When he discovers and befriends the surprisingly smart creature - dubbing him "Mr Link" - Lionel changes course to reunite Mr Link with the rest of his kind. Unfortunately, the two are being followed...
Having given us (The Boxtrolls, Kubo and the Two Strings and Coraline), Laika studios delivers a film that tops the lot in terms of sheer laugh-out-loud comedy. Written and directed by storyboarder Chris Butler, this is a ripping Victorian yarn that treks from London to the Himalayas via the Pacific Northwest, powered along by Carter Burwell's lively score. Hugh Jackman voices explorer Sir Lionel Frost, who has something to prove to his geographical society (led by a sclerotic Stephen Fry), and defies doubters by tracking down a Bigfoot-style beast (Zach Galifianakis) in the company of a doughty map-reader (Zoe Saldana). Missing Link may lack the emotional depth of the award-winning Kubo, but it compensates with plenty of dizzying Keystone Cops-style slapstick.
