Missing Link (2019 Film)

It's a Laika film so I presume I don't need to say that the production itself was amazing and beautifully done.

I really liked Mr. Link himself, the boat chase and Gamu.  I laughed liked a drain at the Yeti Leader shouting "The people we don't want here are leaving! Force them to stay!" and the misadventures of Stenk, but the parts didn't really mesh into a satisfying whole for me.  It felt like the characters were being squashed into the story rather than what they do flowing from who they are.

Fun film but not as good as it could have been - or I just have unnecessarily high expectations for Laika films.
