Missing Link (2019)

Through all the computer-printed, computer-coloured faces, the green-screen, the CGI and, I suspect, a heavy use of digital filters, any of the organic, tactile feel of the stop-animation is lost to the point that this may as well have been a fully computer-generated movie. And taking it on those terms, it has some nice visual design, a few good jokes and visual flourishes but overall it's a slow story, unenergetically directed, with rather unsophisticated humour and action (especially compared to, say, the wit of Aardman productions).
