    Breathtaking

    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.

    Breathtakingly Beautiful

    Lacked in depth and not the most original story, but scenes are masterfully crafted and absolutely stunning, to the point that you can overlook other minor flaws.

    Happy, colourful and full of feelings

    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.

    Touching and beautiful

    This is a heart felt movie. I loved it. Ignore the technical criticism. Ignore the reference to political overtones. All criticism seemed superficial...perhaps they were fake. It is obviously a kids movie, but as an adult I left with good feelings. Very few movies or television shows do that for me. Children in the theater cheered at the end.

    This is a solid 8.

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

Also included are shots of Mr. Burnish, the whooping snake, and the jerboa, which all culminate in the film's credits ending on a photo of Yi, her mother, and Nai Nai at the Leshan Budha. Finally, there's a small stinger featuring the whooping snake.
