For a long time, the production company of "The Missing Link" "Lycra Animation Studio" is the most famous, it is the "stop motion animation" that adjusts the physical objects frame by frame. Perhaps in recent years, "Pixar, Disney" is mostly produced by 3D modeling. In the era of animation works, Lycra made special character dolls, props and backgrounds. Adhering to this "hand-made" shooting method was a bit too time-consuming, but it was precisely this that allowed the audience to see "The Missing Link". High-quality works that are suitable for all ages and have the spirit of craftsmanship.

Judging from the outline of the story, "The Missing Link" is actually very similar to last year's "Little Foot". The stage is constructed in a secluded paradise, and the mysterious Bigfoot is placed in front of the audience and let it accompany us to unfold a period. Exciting and joyous adventure. It’s just interesting that because of the different tonality and story pattern of the two movies, "Adventure" does not explore the relationship between humans and other creatures like "Little Foot", but instead focuses on the core of the plot. The main character itself allows them to gradually grow during the journey.

"The Missing Link" is a road movie of adventurers and Bigfoot. On the surface, it is a story of two people looking for a place to be with others, but inside it clearly conveys what we have been pursuing throughout our lives. In the end, it may not be Not as important as we thought. Although the Chinese title was translated into "The Missing Link" because of Hugh Jackman's last work "The Big Entertainer", the original "Missing link" is not only based on the "lost link" of our evolution or evolution from ape to man. "To represent the relationship between Bigfoot and humans in the film, and at the same time to more ingeniously point out the "lost belonging and connection" between the adventurer and Bigfoot and the same kind.

However, when the two tried to prove themselves and hoped to be accepted by their own society, they finally got the other side's constant obstruction. They finally realized that the value of a person never needs to be decided by others. We often do it for that. I have an illusory dream and forget my original intention. Whether it is the adventurer’s curiosity about rare and exotic animals, Bigfoot’s desire to be accompanied by others, life is an adventure, and no one should be limited by himself or others. This is true for men, women, and Bigfoot.

in conclusion

On the whole, although the fineness of the screen in "The Missing Link" is slightly lower than that of "Lycra"'s predecessor, "Koobo: Legend of the Magic Strings", the characters' movements and expression changes in the film are more smooth, almost on par with computer animation. Not only that, the original skit film that seemed to be purely child-oriented, but actually hides a rich story. I think that it is the most important value of an animation work that allows everyone to have different harvests.
