Abominable

This past weekend, I saw the movie Abominable, an animation produced

by DreamWorks. The animation, directed by Jill Culton and Karey
Kirkpatrick, is no doubt heart warming.

The characters were nicely built so the audience, both kids and adults,
can connect to them easily. Abominable is mainly about a girl who lost
her father and hasn't been able to deal the feelings involved. Because of
that, she spends much time outside, instead of bonding with her mom
and grandmother. Initially, the story takes place in China, where she, by
accident, meets a young yeti that had escaped from a laboratory in the
city and ended up in her rooftop. Both, the girl and the Yeti, which she
names Everest, bond quickly and they then go on an epic adventure to
reunite the Yeti to its family, together with two other kids. However,
throughout the journey the group of friends faces problems caused by a
rich man and his zoologist who are hunting the Yeti.

It was really interesting to see the characters’ stories develop and the
movie went on. ​Abominable has clever animated transitions and a great
balance between humor and more serious moments. The movie shows
the value of perseverance, the pitfalls of being addicted to technology
and dealing with the loss of loved ones. It has a strong moral worldview
extolling family, reconciliation and forgiveness, with some light
environmentalist elements that include an emphasis on respecting
animals.

Taking everything into account, Abominable, although an animation, is

strongly recommendable to all ages as it ​is not long and every second of
it is amusing. There are plenty of adventures and it give the audience
plenty of laugher time.
