Mission Yéti

Let's get it out - it's not MCU, DC, PIXAR or any other Attention deficit disorder production, filled with shaky cam, jump cuts, explosions, P. C. or Woke characters, desperately trying to mimic the last blockbuster that attracted the attention of the muggles.

So if you don't like this - congrats - you're one of those muggles for whom Wholly Weird, et al, make ugly radio.

I'm reminded of the snark, "It's French, don't try to explain it..." No bombastic eye tearing state of the art CGI - just a story. A story with a humble moral : don't jump to conclusions before you get to the end of the story.

It's not "Fantastic Planet" - but it has its own internal logic. I rather enjoyed it, and that's all one can expect - entertainment.

The story was a scrambled mess of stereotypes. We have a wealthy benefactor to a museum; a detective who just accidentally shows up while being chased; a museum curator who believes in Yetis; a Himalayan family. All go on a hunt in the Himalayas for the Yeti, and all turn out to be not-believable cartoonish characters. Add really poor animation quality - flat washed out 2-D backgrounds, and central characters that look like plastic animated toys. Oh, dialogue was grade school level dumb e.g. they kept saying, "Are we there yet!".

Please do some research before making movies. If you are trying to potray nepalese character then better not mix its language with some others. Most of the words that Sherpa guys spoke is Hindi for FYI. And Nepalese people dont eat so called Chapati. And we dont even know what Saheb means. Please respect the language and culture of others. Try to get some expert before making such movie.

It's a cartoon, it's fiction, it's just intertainment for young audiens. So if isn't historically right or language either, get over it. It's for Kids to watch.

Entirely forgettable. Perhaps the English translation loses something but the dialogue is unconvincing and robs the characters, with the possible exception of Tensing, of any likeability. The 3d animation is quite nicely done and the backdrops have a coherent watercolour style but cheap tricks like a lack of interaction between objects and snow make it all look a bit like a thrown together TV show at times. And asking why your captain is sailing south having just crossed the Atlantic from Canada to the eastern med is just one example of several weird moments that throw you out of the story.
