The stop-motion animated movie is the 5th feature-length film made by LAIKA, a studio located in Hillsboro.
“Missing Link,” which took five years to make, tells the story of a Sasquatch living in the Pacific Northwest who teams up with adventurers and goes on a journey to find his family.
Chris Butler, the film’s writer and director, said he was “flabbergasted” and “genuinely shocked” during his Golden Globe acceptance speech.
Sunday’s win for “Missing Link” marks LAIKA’s first Golden Globe award.
