C'erano una volta, Storie popolate da mostri con fattezze umane, creature incomprese, terrore, orrore ma anche magia, ironia e tanto cuore. Ecco a voi la Laika Entertainment e suoi film ricchi di fantasia e oscurità. Preparatevi a una rocambolesca e appassionante avventura fatta di località esotiche, pericoli e misteriose creature. Eppure "Mister Link" non è solo questo. E' la storia di un uomo deciso a dare un senso alla sua vita, di una donna decisa a trovare la sua indipendenza ma soprattutto di una creatura priva di origini e di legami che vorrebbe solo una famiglia.

C'erano una volta, Storie popolate da mostri con fattezze umane, creature incomprese, terrore, orrore ma anche magia, ironia e tanto cuore. Ecco a voi la Laika Entertainment e suoi film ricchi di fantasia e oscurità. La Laika stavolta si cimenta con un'avventura epica e ricca di fantasia. Un mondo in cui la magia esiste ma non necessariamente comporta vantaggi o garanzie e dove il Male più primordiale persiste nonostante ciò. "Kubo e la spada magica" è la storia di una famiglia distrutta ma che potrebbe rinascere e concedersi una seconda possibilità per essere felice.

C'erano una volta, Storie popolate da mostri con fattezze umane, creature incomprese, terrore, orrore ma anche magia, ironia e tanto cuore. Ecco a voi la Laika Entertainment e suoi film ricchi di fantasia e oscurità. Dalla penna di Alan Snow, "Boxtrolls" consente alla Laika di parlare ancora una volta di mostri. Stavolta però i "troll delle scatole" non sono una minaccia ma bensì un gruppo di creature innocue e perseguitate semplicemente perché non umane. A metà tra Roald Dahl e Tim Burton, "Boxtrolls" è una fiaba che parla di discriminazione, accettazione e persino di che cosa sono per davvero il Bene e il Male.

C'erano una volta, Storie popolate da mostri con fattezze umane, creature incomprese, terrore, orrore ma anche magia, ironia e tanto cuore. Ecco a voi la Laika Entertainment e suoi film ricchi di fantasia e oscurità. Dopo realtà parallele e inquietanti mostri, la Laika decide di offrirci qualcosa di più leggero. Perché non concederci quindi una simpatica avventura in mezzo agli zombie e ai fantasmi? Stavolta è il turno di Norman e il suo dono (se tale si può definire) che lo rende un emarginato ma forse anche l'unico capace di salvare i suoi amici e la sua città.

C'erano una volta, Storie popolate da mostri con fattezze umane, creature incomprese, terrore, orrore ma anche magia, ironia e tanto cuore. Ecco a voi la Laika Entertainment e suoi film ricchi di fantasia e oscurità. Cominciamo dal principio con il lungometraggio del 2009 "Coraline", basato sulla tetra fiaba scritta da Neil Gaiman e lugubre racconto di formazione in cui i sogni diventano incubi, i desideri possono essere pericolosi e dove la fantasia non è necessariamente migliore della realtà.

Chris & Kelsey ride the carousel backward and enjoy absolutely terrific horror movies made for kids to kick off October! This time, both movies are about evil entities posing as things kids tend to love in order to feed on their souls. The Classic Film: Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983) "In a small American town, a diabolical circus and its demonic proprietor prey on the townsfolk” (IMDb.com). Ray Bradbury's script adaptation of his own novel is yet another 80s film that Disney seems content to forget about, but impeccable writing and a great performance by Jonathan Pryce make this movie a must-watch during the Halloween season. The Modern Film: Coraline (2009) "An adventurous 11-year-old girl finds another world that is a strangely idealized version of her frustrating home, but it has sinister secrets” (IMDb.com). Full disclosure: We are a Gaiman-loving household. But beyond the story, Coraline is a beautiful and disquieting stop-motion feat and possibly Laika's best.

Connect with us over social media to continue the conversation. Here we go! ///// > ///// Today’s movie is MISSING LINK, the Laika Entertainment animated adventure written and directed by Chris Butler. At the turn of the 19thcentury, Mr. Link (Zach Galifianakis), the last of the Sasquatch in the Western United States, recruits aspiring explorer Sir Lionel Frost (Hugh Jackman) to transport him to Shangri-La, the mythical home of the Yeti in the Himalayas. They are joined by Adelina Fortnight (Zoe Saldana), who has the map, but also pursued by rivals intent on making sure they fail in their quest. No spoilers. As one might imagine from someone who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s, I was a huge fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000, or MST3K. I wasn’t able to watch it regularly, a combination of early bedtimes and intermittent access on our local television channels, but every episode was pure magic. The recent reboot with Jonah Ray has been equally enjoyable, although it’s been tough to get through the immense number of episodes they’ve released. However, one of my favorites from Season 11 – The Return was for an absolutely bonkers, but sasquatch-laden environmental film called CRY WILDERNESS. And Jonah cracks a joke when they show a picture of a missing link character, labeling him Australopithecus Galifianakis. So, I guess MISSING LINK was an inevitable pairing. I’m not actually sure how I missed seeing this film in the theaters. As you might guess, and can verify in my review for last year’s THE MAN WHO KILLED HITLER AND THEN THE BIGFOOT (Episode #533), I’m a huge fan of cryptozoology, and for Bigfoot in particular. Mr. Link is voiced by Zach Galifianakis, one of my favorite comedians. It is produced by Laika and is an epic adventure set at the turn of last century, written by Chris Butler, the genius behind PARANORMAN and the story for KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS, one of my favorite films from 2016. Pretty much everything I could ever want from a film, and I missed it. Along with everyone else, apparently, because MISSING LINK bombed at the box office, but did end up taking Best Animated Feature at this year’s Golden Globes, shocking pretty much everyone but those who saw the film. Laika is one of my favorite animation houses, specializing in a combination of stop motion and CGI, starting with their breakout cult favorite, CORPSE BRIDE with Tim Burton, then following up with 2009’s CORALINE, based on Neil Gaiman’s story. In fact, Laika’s filmography is a triumph of placing story first in such a way so that the delicate and detailed animation never has to compensate. The story for MISSING LINK is above average, melding together a bunch of awesome and intriguing ideas and characters, playing very well with emotional content and a genuine sense of comradery among the adventurers. I also love the larger lore suggested about the sasquatch/yeti/missing link that gets developed. The real star is the animation, which is top notch, especially the amazing series of long-takes that will leave you questioning whether it is still being captured frame by frame. Stop-motion animation doesn’t get nearly the credit it deserves, an art form that takes patience and precision. Every film usually includes some behind-the-scenes footage during the credits to show just how intricate the process can be. In particular, everyone should be astounded by the adventurers riding through the Indian jungle on an elephant, as I was equally astounded by some of the incredible sequences in KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS. Everything has a sense of plasticity, despite being a stop-motion picture at its core. Could this film have the same impact being 100% CGI? Perhaps, but Laika’s animation and process is hardly a gimmick, specifically because of their commitment to story. The voice work is pretty good, with Hugh Jackman, Zach Galifianakis, and Zoe Saldana handling the lion’s share. Galifianakis takes the gold with a nice melding of his natural expressiveness, combined well with the character’s animation, as well as the general demeanor of the character. Jackman and Saldana struggle with two relatively shallow characters, who have predictable story arcs. The rest of the cast is a combination of characters and caricatures, which may delight or anger depending on the viewer. In fact, I really wish MISSING LINK had the same courage as KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS to really deal with complex emotions and feelings, particularly about identity and place in society. We learn pretty quickly that MISSING LINK is a journey story, both externally towards Shangri-La, and internally for each character. Whereas KUBO had a depth to the lead characters, particularly the title character, MISSING LINK feels like it’s... well, missing something in most of its characters, perhaps confusing detailed characters with complex characters. I like the whole film. I even love some parts of it. In a particularly weak year for animation, MISSING LINK only barely stands out, but is still quite worth a viewing. MISSING LINK is a fun animated adventure from Chris Butler and Laika Entertainment. Using an incredible stop-motion process, viewers are treated to a fun journey set during the turn of last century, with a relatively safe and predictable story along the way. Despite its box office troubles, everyone who enjoys animation should absolutely check out today’s film. Rotten Tomatoes: 89% (CERTIFIED FRESH) Metacritic: 68 One Movie Punch: 8.0/10 MISSING LINK (2019) is rated PG and is currently playing on Hulu.

He goes into the ways AM can be a competitive advantage, including precision, color accuracy, volume and repeatability. And he compares what he does with puppets to what manufacturers are doing in the medical field.
