Um... Two words: What chicken ?!!

Laika will stay in business forever. You may ask, how? They currently employ over 300 employees at their main location and each of their films consistently underperforms, the last two straight up bombing. May I inform you the president also owns Nike. He's worth 35 billion dollars. To his son, Travis Knight, who just did Bumblebee, this is pocket money for them. I can see the conversations now. Phil Knight: Alright son, what do you want? Travis Knight: Hey dad, I just want to make another movie with those dolls. You think you can spare some money? Phil Knight: No problem my child. How much? Travis Knight: The usual, 60 million. Phil Knight: Why, go right ahead, you little wiper snapper! Just bring some of it back. Travis Knight: Thanks daddy! I'll fund the next one with my Bumblebee money! As for the movie itself? No idea, didn't see it, no one did.

Didn't find enjoyment with this, personally. I found things a bit off with 'Missing Link', none of it really clicked for me - it's without a little added oomph. I was watching it unfold, as opposed to feeling invested in it. The plot is fine, just a bit bland. I found the dialogue decent, particularly with Link's schtick - though that wore off eventually. A lot of what I just mentioned probably comes down to the casting, which is meh to me. Zach Galifianakis, Hugh Jackman and Zoe Saldana are all very good actors, but none of them stood out - Galifianakis, especially, feels flat. The supports don't impress either, despite some decent names. From 'Kubo and the Two Strings', my favourite Laika production, to this - my least favourite entry from the studio. They are, however, still yet to produce a film I dislike - so that's a plus.

Great animation, great cast, great sets, and a great story - so I'm not sure why I found this underwhelming.

I think it was missing something, maybe a little more run time, definitely left me short but other than that it’s animated style was good, it’s story had a good heart, it’s voice cast we’re great and it’s journey had a good sense of humour.
