The least creative of all the cartoons about snowmen I've ever seen!

Foreigners really like the snowman YETI, and they make a type of cartoon over and over again: take the lost snowman home! But this Sino-US co-production is the least creative of all the cartoons I've seen with YeTI as the protagonist! I've just expressed the core theme of the entire cartoon: accompany a lost snowman home.

That home is always on the top of the Himalayas (it is also in line with archaeological research, I went to read a lot of news about the yeti, and there are different opinions like the Loch Ness monster). In the middle of the journey home, I went through ninety-eighty-one hardships, and then by the way, the motherland is good. Heshan has advertised it again. The structure in which the standard template is inserted is not novel at all.

Americans think, give you a standard Hollywood story structure for you to set, simple, safe, and make no mistakes. The Chinese think: the story is not important, I just need to publicize all the famous landmarks in our country once. With this goal in mind, this joint-venture animation featuring American technology and Chinese framing was born! You have to say that the quality of this film is excellent! Correction, not really. The clouds and waters are at your fingertips, and the goals of both parties are achieved, not seeking artistic awards, not seeking the eternal preservation of classics, and both sides gaining fame and fortune, slap slap, bye!

    Giant dandelion Huangshan aerial battle, rape flower tsunami, Everest cloud fish, Leshan Giant Buddha violin father-daughter love... All kinds of settings and characters are good, but unfortunately the story is still too simple and childish

    4.5/10. There is no bright spot, regret not watching the Chinese version. Chinese elements are piled up on a large scale. The snow monster is reduced to a prop, and it can be replaced by a giant panda.

Abominable quotes

  • Goon Leader: [about Everest] What do those powers mean for us?

    Dr. Zara: That yeti's price tag just doubled.

  • Dr. Zara: [after capturing Everest and the kids] I'll make sure the yeti's out.

    [approaches him with a cattle prod]

    Dr. Zara: You're never going to escape again.

    [Yi breaks free from the goon holding her and grabs the prod]

    Yi: Stop it!

    [she and Zara struggle against each other, until Zara backs Yi toward the edge of the bridge and shoves her over the edge]

    Dr. Zara: [hands the prod to the goon leader; to him] Well, that's one down.
