Sir Lionel Frost (voiced by Hugh Jackman) is an explorer. He loves myths and mysteries. But, what he wants most is to be accepted into an elite adventuring club alongside his peers. However, they are small-minded and treat him as an outsider. Finally, Sir Lionel discovers a lead on a "sasquatch" in America's Pacific Northwest. If he can only bring home the proof of his discovery, surely he will be admitted to this select club of adventurers. He heads on his journey only to find that this sasquatch, the missing link (voiced by Zach Galifianakis, is the one who wanted to be found. It seems that he is lonely and wants to be reunited with his cousins in the Himalayas. Together with Adelina Fortnight (voiced by Zoe Saldana), the three begin an epic journey to help this lonely sasquatch find his "people" and help Sir Lionel prove once and for all that he is a true explorer.

This is a cute movie. The voice work is great, especially Hugh Jackman and Zach Galifianakis. The stop motion animation is really good. The story is just a little weak. There is plenty of humor but most of it will appeal to kids more than adults. Still, it is worth seeing. If you have kids or love Laika's animation, then you should probably go see this.
