Missing Link



I'm a huge fan of ParaNorman, and Laika in general, so I'm pretty excited about this.

 

Oh damn, didn't know there was a thread. Can't wait for this. Laika should be on everyone's radar between Kubo and Coraline

 

Can't wait.

 

they’re just showing us the whole story there, huh

 

About to catch this

 

Not Laika's best, but pretty good. Probably one of the quirkier animated films I've seen in some time. There's some easy chuckles too, but only a few really big laughs, so rare that they caught me off guard, one of which involving newspaper headlines that almost had me fall out of my chair

 

Anyone else end up catching this

 

Soooooo nobody? Fuck that, this wasn't my favorite Laika film but it's got quite a lot going for it (including a really cool boat scene.) Why is a movie that was apparently based off a fucking One Direction FANFIC doing better than this?

 

This is doing better than "After." But typically, Laika movie just don't do very well in theaters. It sucks that it's that way, but that's the reality.

 

Hulu 10/7

 

won a golden globe for animated film. guess it's good that laika is being recognized by SOMEBODY

 

good reminder that I need to check this out

 

They always get nominated at the Oscars, they just can never seem to pull off a win. Maybe this year will be different!
