Animation. Comedy. Adventure. Fantasy The charismatic Sir Lionel Frost considers himself to be the world's foremost investigator of myths and monsters. The trouble is none of his small-minded high-society peers seems to recognize this. Sir Lionel's last chance for acceptance by the adventuring elite rests on traveling to America's Pacific Northwest to prove the existence of a legendary creature. A living remnant of Man's primitive ancestry. The Missing Link.

United States	Yolanda Machado The Wrap	"The latest from Laika is visually breathtaking, but the narrative won’t enthrall kids or their parents"	NEU
United States	Simon Thompson IGN	"Anchored by first-rate storytelling, 'Missing Link' is another jewel in the crown for Laika that leaves you satisfied and still ready for more."	POS
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke The Guardian	"[It] brims with visual charm and energy but gets bogged down in an unengaging narrative (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
