What did you think of this film?
This April, meet Mr. Link: 8 feet tall, 630 lbs, and covered in fur, but don’t let his appearance fool you… he is funny, sweet, and adorably literal, making him the world’s most lovable legend at the heart of Missing Link, the globe-trotting family adventure from LAIKA. Tired of living a solitary life in the Pacific Northwest, Mr. Link recruits fearless explorer Sir Lionel Frost to guide him on a journey to find his long-lost relatives in the fabled valley of Shangri-La. Along with adventurer Adelina Fortnight, our fearless trio of explorers encounter more than their fair share of peril as they travel to the far reaches of the world to help their new friend. Through it all, the three learn that sometimes you can find a family in the places you least expect.

Are There Any Extras During The Credits? Yes

during the credits

The closing credits look like books and documents scattered in a Victorian-era library belonging to Sir Lionel Frost (Hugh Jackman’s character). As the camera slowly pans around, we see Mr. Link’s hand moving things around while the names in the credits show up as book titles, descriptions on maps, etc. Toward the middle of the credits, we see Lionel pull out a blueprint of the start of the elephant walking scene. The blueprint transforms into a time-lapse behind-the-scenes shot of how the scene was animated using stop-motion. The rest of the credits resume with the names appearing on random pieces of paper scattered on an infinitely long table. Mr. Link’s hands occasionally show up to move things.

Are There Any Extras After The Credits? Yes

Mr. Link finishes drawing his eyes and mouth on a crude pencil drawing of Lionel and Susan (Mr. Link).
