Award-winning animation studio LAIKA is set to release its latest film Missing Link this April, and you can take a look at a new trailer for the comedy adventure here…
Hugh Jackman is Sir Lionel frost: a brave and dashing adventurer who considers himself to be the world’s foremost investigator of myths and monsters. The trouble is, no one else seems to agree. He sees a chance to prove himself by traveling to America’s Pacific Northwest to discover the world’s most legendary creature. A living remnant of Man’s primitive ancestry. The Missing Link.
Zach Galifianakis is Mr. Link: the slightly silly, surprisingly smart and soulful beast who Sir Lionel discovers. As species go, he’s as endangered as they get; he’s possibly the last of his kind, he’s lonely, and he believes that Sir Lionel is the one man alive who can help him. Together they set out on a daring quest around the world to seek out Link’s distant relatives in the fabled valley of Shangri-La.
Along with the independent and resourceful Adelina Fortnight (Zoe Saldana), who possesses the only known map to the group’s secret destination, the unlikely trio embarks on a riotous rollercoaster ride of a journey. Along the way, our fearless explorers encounter more than their fair share of peril, stalked at every turn by dastardly villains seeking to thwart their mission. Through it all, Mr. Link’s disarming charm and good-humoured conviction provide the emotional and comedic foundation of this fun-filled family movie.
Missing Link is set for release on April 5th, with Chris Butler (ParaNorman) directing a voice cast that includes Hugh Jackman (The Greatest Showman), Zoe Saldana (Avengers: Infinity War), Emma Thompson (Sense & Sensibility), Stephen Fry (The Hobbit), David Walliams (Little Britain), Matt Lucas (Little Britain), Timothy Olyphant (Justified), Amrita Acharia (Game of Thrones) and Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover).
