I'm watching Missing Link right now. I don't even remember it being advertised last year, and it WON the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature, is nominated for the Academy Award, and was nominated for the Annie Awards as well.

Fucking Laika, always making fantastic animated features and them never getting the commercial success they deserve.

Coraline
Paranorman
The Boxtrolls
Kubo and the Two Strings

and now Missing Link.

I never did see Kubo (or any of these)

The director made an actually good live action transformers though so I have high expectations

Is that cause the Nike co-founder funds it?

Missing Link seems weird, doesn't seem like it fits in with the rest of their movies. I'll give it a shot though.

I think is serves as a more general audience type film, regardless of its financial problems.

Yeah, it's unfortunate most people, well most people I know, don't care for their films or are put off the stop motion animation and "weird" character designs. I haven't seen Missing Link yet, but Kubo was just absolutely beautiful.

Kubo is definitely their best film. It is fucking amazing. One of my favorite animated movies of the 2010's

I wanted to enjoy it but every other line was a quip and it felt pretty dull

If Missing Link were advertised better, I really think it would have been the mainstream breakthrough Laika has needed/deserved for a long time now. (Even though I think each of their movies are slightly worse than the last.) I'd hate to see them go under, because they're still the best American animation studio around.
