Synopsis:

9.03am Wednesday, May 25, 196,303 B.C. and two sons are born to the Chief of a tribe of primitive degenerates. While one looks very much like his Neanderthal siblings the other resembles what we now refer to as a human baby. Repulsed by the soft, pink, defenseless "mistake" the Chief kicks this error of nature out into the dark gloom of the prehistorical fauna. Adopted by a brontosaurus he spends his childhood surrounded by strange, wonderful animals whose existence is far from recognized in today's textbooks. Missing Link is Director Jean Paul Picha's compliment to the satirical classic Shame of the Jungle. Sit back and wonder at how far we haven't come!

This irreverent, sometimes raunchy animated feature by Picha takes an acerbic look at a hypothetical 'missing link' by the name of 'O.' Born somewhere around 200,000 B.C., give or take a few generations, 'O' was a reject because his pink and unbearded self was a mite too intelligent and off-beat to the rest of his hairy clan. So a friendly brontosaurus and smart-mouthed pterodactyl bring up 'O' as though he were their very own. While roaming through hill and dale to find his tribe once he is an adult, 'O' comes across all the weird creatures that will eventually contribute to his understanding of the world -- and the beginning of what passes for civilization is launched.

Adult animated comedy with rock music soundtrack portraying a far-fetched explanation of the Dawn of Man.
