Short description

Abominable follows Yi, a teenage girl living in Shanghai who discovers a young Yeti hiding on the roof of her building. The creature has escaped from a secret laboratory, and a wealthy collector named Burnish and a zoologist, Dr. Zara, are determined to capture him. Together with her friends Jin and Peng, Yi names the Yeti Everest and sets out to return him to his family on the mountain he is named after, staying ahead of the pursuers who want him back.

The film was directed by Jill Culton, who also wrote the screenplay with William Davies. It is her second feature as director, coming thirteen years after her debut, Open Season. Chloe Bennet voices Yi, with Albert Tsai as Peng, Tenzing Norgay Trainor as Jin, Eddie Izzard as Burnish, Sarah Paulson as Dr. Zara and Joseph Izzo as Everest. Produced by Universal Pictures, DreamWorks Animation, dentsu and Pearl Studio, it is a co-production between China, the United States and Japan.

Released in September 2019, the film runs 97 minutes and combines adventure, comedy, family and fantasy elements. Against a budget of 75 million dollars, it took in about 190 million dollars worldwide, a solid return. Audiences responded well: it holds a rating of 7 out of 10 on IMDb from roughly 47,000 votes and 7.5 out of 10 on TMDB. A critics' rating of 6.8 out of 10 from 170 reviews places it somewhat below the audience scores, though still broadly positive.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The cartoon was pulled from release in Vietnam due to the depiction of a map with a dotted line in the South China Sea. This designation is used by China to show its claims to waters that Vietnam considers its own.
