This movie was as enjoyable for a 3 year old as it was for a 63 year old. Abominable takes the themes of grief, hope and family and magically transforms them to take the viewers on an epic journey through Chinese culture. Infused with music, language, landmarks, customs, spirituality and traditions, Abominable makes viewers feel like they are on the journey right alongside Everest and his newfound friends.
With a slew of witty one liners, heartfelt moments and magic-infused hilarity, this film plays like a Concerto of a young girl trying to help a lost creature find his way home, and in turn, finding her own way back home as well. Fresh and original, absolutely one of the best animated films of the decade.
I went to see this movie at the world premier at TIFF. It's a funny, emotional, and enjoyable film perfect for young and adult audiences (I cried like a little child with all the beautiful meanings of this story). Go see it!
This movie had no more substance than its admittedly appealing visuals. The story is as unoriginal as it comes. Its setting in China is transparent: no more than a coat of Chinese paint over a western culture (and an advertisement for western tourism in China).
Love this movie. great for adults and kids. I would highly recommend it. Go watch it!
Confusing Movie
The movie had a decent (predictable) premise, however the actual execution of the movie and its story has so many holes that it loses all viability. The movie lacks creativity, is full of cliche and formula storyline, and is generally a waste of time.
I went into the movie with medium expectations, came out disappointed with the movie.
3-8 year old girls with an interest in violins may enjoy this movie.
