![]() Intricately costumed, movable puppets and beautifully detailed sets come to life one frame at a time, according to John Craney, head of the Puppet Department. It took 5 years with as many as 97 separate film units going at the same time to create MISSING LINK. ![]() I must confess that before my visit to the set of MISSING LINK, I knew very little about the stop-motion (or stop frame) animation process and the amount of work, skill and patience that goes into it. A Behind-the-Scenes Visit on the Set of MISSING LINK Through it all, the three learn that sometimes you can find a family in the places you least expect. ![]() Along with adventurer Adelina Fortnight (Zoe Saldana), the fearless trio of explorers encounter more than their fair share of peril as they travel to the far reaches of the world. Link recruits fearless explorer Sir Lionel Frost (Hugh Jackman) to guide him on this epic journey. Link (Zach Galifianakis), an 8 feet tall, 630 pound, furry, lovable legend (known the world over as Bigfoot, Yeti, Sasquatch, etc.), as he seeks out his long-lost relations in Shangri-La. Written and directed by Chris Butler, MISSING LINK follows the adventures of Mr. The State of Massachusetts has an excellent opportunity to make a painless contribution to its own and to its visitors' welfare.This globe-trotting family adventure is about finding where you belong. For the average Boston-New York commuter, the college student and the business man, the link means a quicker, safer trip. Using the speedway would be optional no one traveling from one Massachusetts point to another would be obliged to pay the toll.įor New England, a through highway means a bigger and more satisfied tourist trade. Like the rest of the highway chain, the Massachusetts turnpike would be only a supplement to and not a replacement for the old road network. Boston to New York travel would be considerably expedited even though the highway would come little nearer to Boston than Worcester most autoists who drive to New York regularly agree that the slowest part of the trip is along Routes 15 and 20 from the Worcester Turnpike to the Connecticut line. Running roughly parallel to Route 20 from Worcester to the Connecticut line and to Route 110 from Salisbury to Worcester, the new road would have frequent cut-outs, none of which would stop traffic. On the Maine link from Kittery to Portland, for instance, there has been only one fatality since December, 1947-a score of one death for 70 million vehicle miles. From the safety angle, speedways are many times less dangerous than winding roads. Like the Merritt Parkway in Connecticut, the highway would have a minimum speed law. Engineers estimate that the 90 miles could be covered in 90 minutes if, as planned, the road were to run uninterrupted from border to border. When the tolls have paid off the bonds, the road would become completely free.Īs far as speed and safety go, the new road would outclass the old system all the way. ![]() And inasmuch as most of the cross-state travelers will come from other states, the pike would cost Bay Staters almost nothing. Because it would be a toll highway, the 60 to 75 million dollar cost would be assumed by the users. Very few objections can be raised to the project. In debating the authorization of a $100,000,000 bond issue, the legislators will also consider a provision for constructing a 90 mile toll turnpike across the state. This month the State Legislature has a chance to hitch together the loose end of that Maine to Manhattan chain. From Sturbridge, Massachusetts, where the Connecticut road ends, to Salisbury, the southern terminus of New Hampshire's new 15 mile paved strip, 150 miles of straggling, second-rate reads are Massachusetts' contribution to the east coast highway system. As Connecticut finishes patching up its highway system from New Haven to the Massachusett's border, there remains only one big missing link in the concrete speedway from the Holland Tunnel to Portland, Maine. ![]()
