DreamWorks：Abnominable

DreamWorks has released the official trailer for its animated yeti adventure, Abominable. it’s here to teach us a very important lesson about family.

Written and directed by Jill Culton (Open Season), Abominable features Chloe Bennet (Agents of SHIELD) as the voice of Yi, a teenager who encounters a lost Yeti on the roof of her Shanghai apartment building, and teams up with her friends to help reunite them with their family. The project entered development in 2010 and was titled Everest early on, both before and after Culton stepped down in 2016, only to return as director two years later. It’s been far smoother sailing since then, fortunately, as evidenced by the film’s marketing getting up and running of late. we can assure you that, from what we watched in the trailer, the film isn’t going to be anything abominable! Try to fight against welling up, because the trailer alone could be enough to make you cry.

Abominable

“Abominable” literally means something very bad or unpleasant. The word is used to denote something that is detestable or despicable. We’re not quite sure which of the characters the title is referencing in the film. But we took the liberty of doing some digging!

Based on the description of the trailer, the film is going to be about a young girl named Yi, who found a Yeti on her roof. She, along with two of her friends decide to take on the journey and return the yeti who they named Everest to its home and family. But in order to do that, they should be able to escape Burnish, an old, rich man who wants to possess a Yeti. Oh, and a Dr. Zara, too!Based on the description of the trailer, the film is going to be about a young girl named Yi, who found a Yeti on her roof.

While the story might be focused on Yi trying to get Everest home, Everest’s story might be able to teach Yi a lesson or two about family. What’s clear is that Yi’s dad is out of the story, either dead or gone we’re not sure. He left Yi a violin which she loves to play because it reminded her of her dad telling her to never give up no matter how hard it gets. Yi is a typical teenager who never liked staying home with the family. Yi is seen to be able to grow things like flowers with her violin. Yi would learn from Everest’s longing for family. She should treasure her own family and spend more time with them.

Abominable is a family friendly movie, one that you can watch with kids with the right guidance. Everest is a character that kids will surely love.

That aside, Abominable is a culturally diverse film, having taken place in Shanghai and then traveling to the Himalayan snowscapes. It’s very exciting to see how DreamWorks would feature the Chinese culture (having a Chinese protagonist) and how it would affect the plot all in all. That, plus that fact that this is so superbly animated is definitely worth the time you’d spend watching the film!

‘Abominable’ will be showing in the US on September 27.
