  Review by IHE ★★½ 51

  These Laika movies are like the inverse of Marvel films, instead of being visually bland with great characters and chemistry, they’re stunningly beautiful and the stop-motion animation is insane, but my god do they have the most formulaic, one-note, limp scripts that have very little of interest to anyone that isn’t a child. This one is similarly fine, it has its moments, but I’ll forget about Missing Link the moment I post this review.

  saw this in may and forgot to log it til now :/ all i remember is being the only one at the 1pm showing and feeling relieved because it meant i could eat the croissant i snuck in free of judgment. while doing so, i had the thought, “smuggling bread — call me Naan Solo” and laughed out loud to myself, which i could do, with reckless abandon, because i was alone!  that’s all i can tell ya about this one, so sorry folks. i know how rabidly y’all were craving a 1000 word in-depth analysis of fuckin missing link

  Too harmless to get upset about but too harmless for its own good.

  Review by davidehrlich ★★★½ 5

  Part “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” part “Mighty Joe Young,” and part “Planes, Trains & Automobiles” — to cite three of writer-director Chris Butler’s most explicit references — “Missing Link” is a sweet, touching, and seriously fun adventure comedy about two lost souls who are struggling to reconcile yesterday with tomorrow in their bid to belong in a world that refuses to make room for them. Set in the Victorian era but progressive in almost every major aspect of its narrative and design, Laika’s fifth feature may lack the weight and urgency of the studio’s previous work, but it reaffirms the studio’s commitment to a future that comes in all shapes and sizes.

  Thank God for Laika. At a time when…

  JUNIMATION

  The studio's latest picture features various positive qualities, particularly in the form of good animation from the character designs, with a recognizable and colorful yeti and an excellent color palette. The plot had its moments, and the humour worked for me on occasion, however I appreciated the studio's shift in tone from the tetric to something more light-hearted. The voice acting is also fairly good, especially with Galifianakis bringing some of his characteristic sense of humor.

  All in all, a film that entertains and the message is cute (if a little trite), it is personally a film that left me feeling a little underwhelmed.

  Not Laika's best but the humour shines through the cliches.
