Missing Link Director Chris Butler Interview
28Missing Link Director Chris Butler Interview
The stop-motion masters over at LAIKA Studios have created another animated masterpiece with Missing Link, written and directed by Chris Butler. It's the type of movie I'd say you almost have to watch twice; once for the charming story, then a return trip for the pure how-did-they-do-that gawking at the film's stop-motion wizardry. Missing Link stars Hugh Jackman as the voice of Sir Lionel Frost, an explorer tasked with shepherding the world's sole Sasquatch, Mr. Link (Zach Galifianakis), to his distant Yeti relatives in the Himalayas. The film also stars Zoe Saldana, Timothy Olyphant, Emma Thompson, and Stephen Fry.
While at this year's WonderCon in Anaheim, California, I sat down with writer/director Chris Butler to discuss the film. Check out what he had to say in the player above, and below is exactly what we talked about.
