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.

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.

We see Stakar talking to some of the Ravagers about learning a lesson from Yondu and wanting to reform their group (Guardians 3000 from the original Guardians comic books). The High Priestess is summoned, but before she goes she talks about creating an even better Sovereign and looks at the new birthing pod, naming it Adam. Peter walks into Groot’s room and starts complaining about the mess. Groot (looking and acting like a sullen teenager) is playing a video game and mostly ignoring Peter. The main characters are shown dancing along the side of the credits, including The Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum). No raccoons or tree creatures were harmed during the making of this feature. The same cannot be said for handlers of said raccoons and tree creatures.

We hear Drax screaming while Kraglin slowly backs away and then runs out of the scene. Also during the credits a bunch of listings are shown as “I Am Groot”, they eventually change back to their proper credits before they scroll off the screen.

What did you think of this film?
What you put out into this world will always come back to you, but it never comes back how you predict. Taking fatherly advice is not in Joe Coughlin’s nature. Instead, the WWI vet is a self-proclaimed anti-establishment outlaw, despite being the son of the Boston Police Deputy Superintendent. Joe’s not all bad, though; in fact, he’s not really bad enough for the life he’s chosen. Unlike the gangsters he refuses to work for, he has a sense of justice and an open heart, and both work against him, leaving him vulnerable time and again—in business and in love. Driven by a need to right the wrongs committed against him and those close to him, Joe heads down a risky path that goes against his upbringing and his own moral code. Leaving the cold Boston winter behind, he and his reckless crew turn up the heat in Tampa. And while revenge may taste sweeter than the molasses that infuses every drop of illegal rum he runs, Joe will learn that it comes at a price.
