Missing Link trailer

[Icehaven]

Just saw the TV trailer for this, which is the standard soundbites-from-audience-members saying how much they enjoyed it etc, but one of them was...Charlie Brooker?! Bit random.

I've booked a ticket to go and see this in ten minutes but I can't be bothered.

Yes but why is Charlie Brooker in the trailer?

"Nike has a long-time partnership with the LAIKA studio."

Yeah...the founder of Nike is the father of the guy who runs LAIKA...which probably explains how they haven't gone out of business given their (massively-undeserved but) woeful run of box office returns.

This film really doesn't look that appealing does it? Although the critics seem to love it.

I should have titled this thread "Why is Charlie Brooker in the Missing Link trailer?"

The trailer for this looks dismal, which is a shame, because Kubo and the Two Strings was exquisite.

I thought it was lovely. Fun story, good gags, looked beautiful. It seems like it's bombed though.

If it helps, I didn't notice David Walliams at all, and I don't know who he played.
