Missing Link (2019 film)

Missing Link is a 2019 American stop-motion animated adventure comedy film written and directed by Chris Butler. It is produced by Laika and features the voices of Hugh Jackman, Zoe Saldana, David Walliams, Stephen Fry, Matt Lucas, Timothy Olyphant, Amrita Acharia, Emma Thompson, and Zach Galifianakis. The plot follows a Sasquatch who, with the help of a British explorer, travels to the Himalayas to meet his Yeti cousins.
Missing Link premiered in New York City on April 7, 2019, and was theatrically released in the United States on April 12, 2019 by Annapurna Pictures through United Artists Releasing. Although it was a box office flop, grossing just $26.2 million against its $102.3 million production budget, losing $101.3 million, the film received positive reviews from critics, who praised its animation, voiceover performances, humor and light-hearted standards compared to other Laika works, although some drew criticism towards the writing. It won the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film, making it the first non-computer animated film to win in the category, and the first non-CGI film to win a Golden Globe since Waltz with Bashir (2008). It also received a nomination at the 92nd Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature, but lost to Toy Story 4.
