So. Much. Fur.
Review by Demi Adejuyigbe ★★½ 6

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.
"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:

Review by Houston ★★★

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:
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’

Review by larissa ★★★

the film is visually gorgeous but i was expecting more.
Review by Schwa77 ★★★

A fun, whimsical, fantasy story that's too scared to be truly adventurous in its storytelling. The movie is a pretty standard animated movie, but is certainly entertaining to watch. The music in the movie is a definite standout, and the animation (while we as a viewing audience are mostly numbed to it) is stunning, particularly the landscapes. Abominable is a fantasy story that sadly didn't take the risks to be something more than it is.
Review by Roberto Henao ★½

Uhhh....... not being too harsh but I don’t think I’ll ever watch or think about this again. I wanted to like it because of how much it was trying to be genuine and pull heart strings but nothing clicked. The animation felt lifeless, I didn’t find anything special come from the characters and the story falls flat and feels way too familiar.
I sort of expected a lot more from Dreamworks.
