The Art Of Missing Link ( Laika ) Book Review

Missing Link (2019) is the 5th film released by renowned American stop-motion animation studio Laika, which previously bought us such amazing titles like Kubo And The Two Strings, Paranorman and The Boxtrolls.

Just like the art books released for studio’s previous films, this 176 pages hardcover volume is a treasure trove of spectacular concept art collected from the film’s creation, including sketches, storyboards, character designs, and much more. I’m particularly intrigued and fascinated by the production photographs of the painstakingly hand-crafted puppets and props that help bring Laika’s colorful films to life, and there’s plenty of these found in the book.

The concept art drawings and sketches are a complete delight as well; all of them are fantastic, but I have a soft spot for the beautiful wide-vista environment pieces that would look amazing framed up on any wall.

Made with a sizeable budget of $100 million, Missing Link unfortunately did not do well at the box-office at all, taking in only about $26 million. It absolutely breaks my heart that such a wonderfully crafted film, with amazing artistry from all those involved did not receive the financial success it deserves.

All that said, this art book is excellent and with a price tag of around $22 is an absolute steal for all the superb content collected. My highest recommendations.
