A French-Belgian co-production, “The Missing Link” is a feature length cartoon conceived and directed by the highly acclaimed cartoonist PICHA and portrays his unique style of drawing combined with his sense of satirical humour.

The story is about the genesis of man but PICHA’s view of creation is somewhat different to the widely accepted explanations, including those provided by Darwin.

From the director of the much praised cartoon “Shame of the Jungle” (the alternative Tarzan story), “The Missing Link” is an explosive mixture of imagination, humour and burlesque. When originally released, the French & German versions won many accolades, including best cartoon.

The film features a music score and songs composed by Roy Budd, Leo Sayer and Paul Fishman and the voices of Christopher Guest, Clark Warren, Ron Venable, Bob Kaliban and Mark Smith.
