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. (Roadshow Entertainment)

A beautiful cartoon, more for adults than children, both in terms of its artistry (I was blown away by the stop-motion splendor from start to finish) and its story, as wacky as it is sweet and wise. The main character, with Hugh Jackman's voice, is a sort of plasticine Count Teleke of Tölökö, and Carter Burwell hasn't composed such nice music in a while... Everything's on point.

Nemo and Dory have been found, and so it's time for another search, but this time from a different barrel of animation. Missing Link has little to surprise, story-wise it's not a very polished film with any unexpected twists or deeper meaning. But it ran nicely in the cinema, the animation was quite good, and there was even one quite funny moment. Apart from humour, the film did not lack action, especially in the ending (where you have to ignore the laws of physics).
