  Peng: "Hey, don't go body shaming my yak!"

  SYNOPSIS: Three teenagers must help a Yeti return to his family while avoiding a wealthy man and a zoologist who want him for their own needs.

  The plot of the movie is simple and straight forward, yet it is still enjoyable and keeps you entertained. I especially appreciated how they put two teen characters together for most of the movie and there was no hint of romance between them. Don't get me wrong, I love a little romance, but there is a…

  The back-to-back combo of this with The NeverEnding Story made me realize that fantasy/adventure films aren’t gone, they’ve just been scooped up by children’s animation. Which is something of a bummer- but not completely awful! At least the genre still exists. This was perfectly fine. I experienced a very shameful frisson during a strange Coldplay needle-drop and my dad kept humming along to melodies they made for the film as if he’d heard them before.

  Review by Tumbletoppel (BILLIE EILISH ACADEMY AWARD WINNER!!!!!/mourning The Owl House) ★★★★ 1

  I love it when DreamWorks doesn’t have to have massive boppers all the time and make calmer movies but still have beautiful environments like this one. Everest’s fur though, bomb design right there

  A girl and her magical Yeti.

  "Whoomp there it is .... whoomp there it is .... whoomp there it is."

  I have officially completed the animated Yeti/Bigfoot non-related animated trilogy of 2018-2019 which includes 'Smallfoot', Abominable, and 'Missing Link'. (Listed by how I would rank them).

  Abominable is a wholesome family movie with plenty of heart and adventure. But the only thing holding it back from being a top tier kids film, was its' fairly unremarkable story. And me feeling that way was likely compounded by seeing the highlights of the first half of this movie played in the trailer at every kid's movie for the past few months.

  Some quick hit observations on Abominable:

  - I liked the different…

  tag yourself are you:

  1. yi channeling jughead jones energy as she calls herself a ‘self proclaimed loner’
  2. jin taking sad selfies instead of trying to get out of a bad situation

  Review by Houston Coley ★★★

  Feels like there's a lot of unfulfilled potential here; the more the movie focuses on plot and contrived conflict, the more it yawns along as pretty paint-by-numbers and laughably derivative. The dialogue and character archetypes are written for small children, and it shows.

  Still, whenever the boring framework of the story falls away and we're allowed to just revel in the animated wonder, the film is downright magical to behold. Weirdly, Rupert Gregson Williams' musical score is very dull, but the diegetic music he composed to be played within the context of the film actually managed to give me goosebumps several times. The visuals and character models here are nowhere near Pixar or Disney level, but they at least convey…

  Review by Steve Carlson ★★ 6

  Nothing I can say about this would be as savage or direct as the fact that my daughter, age 6, turned to me at a crucial point in the climax and said, "I think I've seen this before."

  Review by Bernard Ozarowski ★★★★ 3

  As a crazed film lover and father, one of the hardest things to do is figure out how best to integrate the theater going experience into your parenting. I’m the sort of dad who showed his son, Logan, the first few minutes of the film Logan while he laid on my chest in the NICU in his first days of life. My son’s first theatrical experience was Avengers: Infinity War. It was the film’s 13th weekend in release. We sat on an aisle and he wore big over the top noise cancelling baby headphones. He was traumatized by the trailer for The Meg, stared intently at the first 20 minutes of the movie then slept for most of the rest,…
