Abominável

I loved this movie. It was simple, straightforward, but happy and full of feelings. Like the main character Yi, I have also lost my dad recently, and so the story resonated with me a lot.

The story is relatively simple, they need help the beast get home, and it is not like such films aren't done before. But what makes it stand out more, is the happy and emotional nature of the film.

Solid 8, recommended.

Abominable is a cute, safe playing animation. It has a good message and themes but keeps it at surface level. The animation is fluffy but there are a few beautiful visuals. The adventure is exciting without getting too harrowing and the characters are likeable enough with one or two being a tad grating. Definitely geared towards kids, but there is a bit adults can get out of it as well.

While the movie may need a while to get going it is even more stunning later on. Rewatching it now, the film touched me even more than it did in the cinema. Abominable tells the story of an unusual friendship between a yeti and a girl while brilliantly presenting what family actually means and what every one can do for each other. The beautiful violin pieces create such a thrilling flow which makes you wish the movie would go on forever. The scenery is a diverse illustration of China especially showing off the beautiful nature the country has to offer. The animation looks awesome and visuals get even better when you let yourself be enchanted by the wonderful things Abominable illustrates. As always, DreamWorks did a fantastic job with this movie and you won't regret watching it.

Saw the trailer, not much impression. Went to watch it with friends, come back surprisingly entertained. The story is heartwarming, and there are plenty of funny scenes too.

What an amazing movie, the music is perfect and the animations are so beautiful. A heart touching story for kid and grown ups!
