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…
This was really excellent for like 25 minutes and then it just turned into a worse version of Up
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.
A girl and her magical Yeti.

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…
Missing Link + Big Hero 6 - anything that makes either of those remotely interesting + every convenience and contrivance u can think of + GORGEOUS animation. When it's good it's great but it always stops itself short, seemingly afraid to commit to being entirely original. Could've been something really special if someone cared more, if it seemed less lazy, maybe if the focus was more on her musical abities and played fewer dumb catchy pop songs. Coco had just come out and I suppose that's the reason but it would have been beautiful. My point is, this movie is so lazy they named the yeti "Everest." Beautiful, but meh.
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…
tag yourself are you:

2. jin taking sad selfies instead of trying to get out of a bad situation
3. the two hour segment of this film that is set to ‘fix you’
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,…

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."

In my opinion, ‘Abominable’ would receive a 7/10 because of the following:
➕Positive:
- First and foremost, the VFX in this film are incredibly imaginative and beautiful to behold.
- The refreshing authenticity of the settings and production design never before seen in Hollywood animated films is quite beautiful to witness, and just really fresh and entertaining as a result (the collaboration between Dreamworks and Chinese studio Pearl Studios really paid off here).
- The combined use of both music…
A surprisingly good kids movie that has some good messaging. It loses itself in the second half in my opinion but has a lot of good moments and just enough to make the adults in the room nod in approval.
Drie niet-gerelateerde yetifilms in een jaar tijd. Hollywoods wegen zijn soms ondoorgrondelijk en Abominable is DreamWorks’ interpretatie van het sneeuwmonster. In Abominable wordt een jonge yeti gevangen gehouden in Shanghai en wanneer hij ontsnapt wil een groepje kinderen het wezen terugbrengen naar de Himalaya. Als je het beginstuk dat zich in de stad afspeelt naast het New York uit Soul legt, valt het op wat voor voorsprong Disney en Pixar tegenwoordig hebben op DreamWorks op technisch vlak. Shanghai is lang zo levendig niet, maar gelukkig zijn de locaties die het kwartet onderweg tegenkomt – met de Grote Boeddha van Leshan als voorbeeld – een stuk mooier vormgegeven. Het avontuur biedt genoeg ruimte voor magie en de pacing is goed. Het plotje is verder vrij basaal, maar DreamWorks’ uitwerking is fijn.
Abominable is a beautifully animated and heartwarming adventure that also has funny characters and memorable moments.
Rather enjoyable animated film.
The story itself isn't too groundbreaking, but the animation is absolutely gorgeous, as you'd expect from the team behind the How to Train Your Dragon movies. Very good soundtrack, too.
I think this is a good film. Sure, the weird pop song montage is a false step, but, otherwise... pretty decent. I am also swayed by my daughters love of Yeti's and her adoration of this film. I am easily manipulated. It probably added half at the least or possibly 1 whole star to my score.
