<DIV>Tired of living a solitary life in the Pacific Northwest, Mr. Link — an eight-foot-tall creature covered in fur, voiced by Zach Galifianakis — recruits fearless explorer Sir Lionel Frost (Hugh Jackman) to guide him on a journey to find his long-lost relatives in the fabled valley of Shangri-La. Along with adventurer Adelina Fortnight (Zoe Saldana), they encounter more than their fair share of peril as they travel to the far reaches of the world. In this stop-motion adventure from renowned animation studio Laika (Coraline), the three explorers learn that sometimes you can find a family in the places you least expect.</DIV>
