.DeadlinePete reviews AbominableMovie
For my money the most appealing of those characters is the yeti named Everest injust because he is so damn lovable. Actually this guy has more in common with the dragon Toothless in DreamWorks’franchise in terms of the puppy dog qualities, and by extension I think that makes this film the best of the trio. It also is the least starry in terms of its voice cast, choosing diversity over big names to drive the narrative.
The plot is simple: The yeti finds himself far from home, somehow landing among the rooftops of Shanghai and only reminded of his true family and place when he sees a poster of Mount Everest. Thus he gets the nickname Everest when he is discovered by a young girl named Yi who, with the help of nutty neighbor Jin , and Peng accompany Everest on a journey back to find his parents.
Director Jill Culton’s screenplay centers mostly on the journey and emerging friendships, particularly Peng’s bonding with Everest and Yi’s determination to lead the way. It probably could have been calledbut Culton invests it all with a surprising amount of wit and smarts for the yeti subgenre and creates an original confection that ought to please families, particularly the youngest members. It is a lot of fun, and happens to be gorgeously animated too.
Universal releases the film on Friday. Check out my video review at the link above with scenes from the movie.and keep your inbox happy.
