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.

So. Much. Fur.

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.

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
3. the two hour segment of this film that is set to ‘fix you’

shoutout to the second best nai nai of the year

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."

Fofinho e bom para distrair.

i am so fucking tired of this bitch peng’s voice

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.

When the 4 year old makes the selection!

Quite mediocre eventually.

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.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

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.
