But the trio of friends will have to stay one-step ahead of Burnish, a wealthy man intent on capturing a Yeti, and zoologist Dr. Zara to help Everest get home. (Universal Pictures US)

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.
