Missing Link trailer: Hugh Jackman's explorer searches for Zach ​Galifianakis's Big Foot in stunning stop motion

There have been many stories that have riffed off the mythical Big Foot tale, but none have looked quite as stunning as Missing Link.

Directed by the writer of Kubo and the Two Strings, Chris Butler, the stunning upcoming stop-motion follows an explorer, Sir Lionel Frost, as he tracks down the fabled being, Mr Link.

Hugh Jackman (The Greatest Showman) voices the leading adventurer while Zach ​Galifianakis (The Hangover) takes on the misunderstood monster. 

Zoe Saldana, Stephen Fry, Emma Thompson, and Little Britain duo Matt Lucas and David Walliams also featuring on the cast. Ching Valdez-Aran and Amrita Acharia (Irri on Game of Thrones) round out the voice cast. To create the stop-motion effect, over 110 sets were built, with as much as 65 unique locations. 

Laika, the studio behind Kubo and the Two Strings and Coraline, have produced the film with Lionsgate distributing in the UK.

Missing Link is in cinemas 5 April 2019
