Missing Link's reviews
Media reviews
Indiewire
'Missing Link' is a sweet, touching, and seriously fun adventure comedy about two lost souls who are struggling to reconcile yesterday with tomorrow in their bid to belong in a world that refuses to make room for them.
Empire
"A charming family-friendly story about adventure and friendship ? told with bar-raising artistic craft and technical skill. We?d expect nothing less from Laika".
The Playlist
"'Missing Link' is a fun, if uneventful and uninspired, trip".
The Guardian
"Laika studio?s fifth lovingly crafted family movie brims with visual charm and energy but gets bogged down in an unengaging narrative".
Rolling Stone
"Laika Studios? latest stop-motion movie is lighter, brighter and smarter than your average animated movie ? but it?s definitely missing something".
The Wrap
Writer-director Chris Butler excels in his decision to direct the story with gorgeous, bright, bold colors but seems to flounder in telling his story in a way that resonates for children and adults. His script seems aimed at elementary school-aged children, with light-hearted and easy humor, but it fails to hold interest beyond a few scenes.
Variety
"Right now, the evolution of Laika Studios has reached a point in which each frame is a masterpiece".
