Excellent, smart action film.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

i been watching animated movies made in Spain for about 4 years now and i gotta say Spanish people make cute animated movies. But i think "The Missing Lynx" is cuter, funnier and it looks better.The movie tells the story of Felix, a lazy and unlucky Iberian lynx, who's staying in a animal recovery center in Donana National Park. Then, he learns about Noah (Noe in Spanish), a eccentric millionaire who tries to create a so-called "Noah's Ark" for endangered animals. Along with a group of friends: Gus, a paranoid chameleon; Beeety (Beeea in Spanish), a "dare-devil" like goat; Astarte, a brave female falcon and Rupert, a almost-blind mole, Felix tries to ruin Noah's plans. On the way, Felix falls for a female lynx called Lynxette (Lincesa in Spanish).Well, i gotta admit, the story seems weak and a little predictable. But overall, "The Missing Lynx" is a great Spanish movie for kids and full of entertainment. I loved all the characters in the movie, especially Gus. He made me laugh so hard with all his paranoid stuff. The movie also leaves a good message for protecting the endangered animals from destruction. Do i recommend this movie? Yep, totally. Cuz it's really gonna entertain both kids and adults of every age. Big shout-out to Raul Garcia, Manuel Sicilia and Antonio Banderas for making this movie. They did a great job.9/10

The Missing Lynx is a fantastic film about a group of animals who have to outwit an eccentric millionaire and a vicious hunter he hires to capture them. It was originally released theatrically in Spain in December 2008 and finally released on Region 1 (U.S. and Canada) DVD/Blu-ray in July 2010. This movie has great characters, and a lot of action, humor, and heart. Even though it's produced by a small, independent studio, it's right on par with films from major Hollywood CGI studios like Pixar, Blue Sky, and DreamWorks. Hopefully they'll make a sequel and a TV series. If you buy this movie, you will not regret it!

Well colour me disappointed. It seems hard to not make a good animated film these days but this film definitely fails to impress on just about every front. The story itself is simplistic and poorly conveyed. I really wanted to like this movie but could not. I wanted to just shut it off and go to bed at about the half-way mark, which I never do. I stuck it out just to be able to voice my honest opinion of it.Given the calibre of animated film available for over 10 years, any child will have seen far better movies than this so even a child would probably be bored to frustration with this movie. The fact of the matter is simple - the movie is dull and there isn't even sufficient eye-candy via the animation to compensate for that.On the animation front - the scenery and backgrounds were well modelled and interesting but the character modelling and animation were definitely not up to today's standards.Overall - I would have a hard time recommending this even for rental. A five year old just might be able to find something redeeming about it but I cannot.

This has to be the cutest, funniest movie I've seen in a long time. While the plot itself isn't innovative, the movie is refreshing, witty, and hilarious. There wasn't a boring moment in it. The characters and their interactions are well written and very entertaining. The animation is also great. And of course there's the underlying message about endangered animals, which is important.Over all, this movie is funny and adorable and I enjoyed it very much. I'm sure it would entertain both children and adults. Seeing how most of the stuff that passes for "comedy" these days doesn't even make me smile, I started to think I might have lost my sense of humor. But this one made me laugh out loud.Thank you, makers of this lovely little gem. I had to post a review to give this low budget film the thumbs up it deserves. Well done!
