MASTERY OF BADASSERY AND FANS OF MICHAEL BAY

You see there was a belgian animator known as jean paul walravens who made 4 films in his career and i'm taking a look at his 2nd film the missing link aka le chainon manquant my 3rd favorite animated film of all time and the most underatted ive seen. The story is starts a group of neanderthals during the time where man lived with dinosaurs. One of them is rejected by the people and at the same time a odd shaped eggs is rejected too which hatches a brontosaurus named igua where he meets O. Igua starts taking care of O when he gets him food the food hatches a pterodactly who has the personality of a 1940s gangster. O now tries to find man. The story is interesting, funny,and engaging. Not to spoil but the ending is pretty sad. The animation looks pretty good and looks much better than walravens previous film. The soundtrack is great with songs by leo sayer, ranging from rock to country. My personal favorite tracks would you cant make an omellete without eggs and takin the breaks off. If there was one flaw it would be the fact that some characters just appear and disspear. One interesting fact is that this has an american re dub called bc rock which has new dialogue, new music by such banfs as rick wakem and genesis, and new scenes. Ive seen some clips of it on youtube but i wish i saw it. It's not on youtube and hasnt been released on dvd only on bootlegs. I did hear that its nothing special but who knows.Overall as i said this is my 3rd favorite animated film, and i wish this was released in the us along with the bc rock dub, and the soundtrack of both dubs. I hope that happens luckily i saw it on youtube which ill give you a link.

9.7/10 a smartly written piece of animation spread the word
