LAIKA’s already great track record reached new heights with the wonderous “Kubo & The Two Strings” in 2016 and now Chris Butler, who helmed one of the studio’s greatest and underrated works with “ParaNorman,” returns with their latest stop-motiona animated feature starring Hugh Jackman as myths and monsters investigator Sir Lionel Frost. Frost sets off on an adventure to the Pacific Northwest to prove the existence of the legendary creature Mr. Link (Zach Galifianakis) and is joined on the way by free-spirited independent adventurer Adelina Fortnight (Zoe Saldana).
Timothy Olyphant, Emma Thompson, Stephen Fry, Matt Lucas and David Walliams co-star in the film which boasts over 110 sets with 65 unique locations – the most ambitious project of the company to date. Set to open mid-April via Annapurna, there’s little doubt this will be as good as their other work and certainly the best of the three Bigfoot animated movies opening this year (the others being Dreamworks’ “Abominable” and Warners’ “Smallfoot”).
