Tout commence sur le toit d’un immeuble à Shanghai, avec l’improbable rencontre d’une jeune adolescente, l’intrépide Yi (Chloe Bennet) avec un jeune Yeti. La jeune fille et ses amis Jin (Tenzing Norgay Trainor) et Peng (Albert Tsai) vont tenter de ramener chez lui celui qu’ils appellent désormais Everest, leur nouvel et étrange ami, afin qu’il puisse retrouver sa famille sur le toit du monde. Mais pour accomplir cette mission, notre trio de choc va devoir mener une course effrénée contre Burnish (Eddie Izzard) un homme puissant qui a bien l’intention de capturer le Yeti avec la collaboration du Docteur Zara (Sarah Paulson) une éminente zoologiste.

Abominable abounds with beautiful visuals and is complemented by an appealing musical score. Unlike the recent animated films Missing Link and Smallfoot, this film features a non-speaking snowman and relies on charming cuteness rather than humour, which is not to say that Abominable doesn't have some funny scenes. I really liked the yetti's magic and all the violin-playing sequences. Next to the yetti, the funniest character was definitely the bouncy snake. Story-wise, the film offers one minor plot twist, but otherwise it's a straightforwardly told one-off with not that much to surprise. I was a bit bothered by some plot inconsistency and lapses in logic in a couple of scenes. All in all, it's a film that's nice to watch, but doesn't get under your skin that much.
