Go behind the scenes of "Missing Link," Laika's new stop-motion comedy about a sweet-hearted Sasquatch creature named Susan, voiced by comedian Zach Galifianakis.

"This 'Missing Link' character is allowed to be goofy and lovable. And he is allowed to be himself," says Galifianakis in the new featurette for the quirky animated movie, which also features the voice of Hugh Jackman as gentleman adventurer Sir Lionel Frost.

The premise revolves around the unlikely friendship between Jackman's Frost and Galifianakis' Susan, a mythical bigfoot creature who desperately wants to travel across the world to find his long-lost relatives, the Yetis.

Co-starring Zoe Saldana as Spanish traveler Adelina Fortnight, "Missing Link" is written and directed by Oscar-nominated Laika animator/storyboard artist Chris Butler, who wrote and co-directed "ParaNorman" and co-wrote the screenplay for "Kubo and the Two Strings."

The film is slated for a April 12th theatrical release.

synopsis:
Meet Mr. Link: 8 feet tall, 630 lbs, and covered in fur, but don't let his appearance fool you... he is funny, sweet, and adorably literal, making him the world's most lovable legend.

Tired of living a solitary life in the Pacific Northwest, Mr. Link recruits fearless explorer Sir Lionel Frost to guide him on a journey to find his long-lost relatives in the fabled valley of Shangri-La. Along with adventurer Adelina Fortnight, our fearless trio of explorers encounter more than their fair share of peril as they travel to the far reaches of the world to help their new friend.
