I especially enjoyed her\ndynamic with Everest as the two start to relate with one another. This is\nreally the film\u2019s heart and best elements. Tenzing Norgray Trainor and Albert\nTsai, as Jin and Peng, are great companions and provide\neffective voice work. Peng is always hilarious, providing comic relief, while\nJin comes to his own in his effective character arc that captures the spirit of\nbeing brave. Eddie Izzard, as Burnish, utilizes his comedic charm and blunt\naccent to great degree. Sarah Paulson, as Dr. Zara, is also a formidable threat\nas there is more than meets the eye with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Abominable15C35_SQ0601_S160_F128_2K_00144R.jpg?resize=225%2C124&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4852\" width=\"225\" height=\"124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Abominable15C35_SQ0601_S160_F128_2K_00144R.jpg?resize=300%2C165&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Abominable15C35_SQ0601_S160_F128_2K_00144R.jpg?resize=768%2C422&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Abominable15C35_SQ0601_S160_F128_2K_00144R.jpg?resize=1024%2C562&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Abominable15C35_SQ0601_S160_F128_2K_00144R.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption>Yi (Chloe Bennet) and Everest in DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio\u2019s &#8220;Abominable,&#8221; written and directed by Jill Culton.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Jill Culton revitalizes DreamWorks Animation\nwith a nice blend of adventure and comedy, which has engaging narrative\nchoices. Some scenes are realized so beautifully; especially the one involving\nColdplay\u2019s <em>Fix You<\/em>. My favorite scene is Jin\u2019s trip to Everest, as it\ncaptures his arc effectively and features a great sense of humor. However, the\nfilm loses steam by the end and drags quite a bit. You will feel the 90 minute\nruntime as the group sequesters. Also, I feel that complex themes dealing with\nloss and grief are sidelined by the amount of humor. And, it is a children\u2019s\nmovie after all, so I appreciate the effort to explore this territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message of this film is in knowing when to\nreach out to others. Yi tries to accept others in her life by empathetically\ncommunicating. I give this film 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 6 to\n18. The movie releases in theaters on September 27, 2019, so check it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abominable<br>By Benjamin P., KIDS FIRST!

She does numerous odd\njobs to afford the trip she plans to take in her father\u2019s memory. One day, up\non the roof of her apartment building where she sneaks off to play her violin,\nshe finds an escaped yeti that she names Everest.

Some of <em>Abominable\u2019<\/em>s\nbest moments are strengthened by the lush animation. A field of yellow flowers\nturns into a tidal wave, a chase over the rooftops of a vibrant, colorful China and\nclouds morphing into aquatic creatures that our characters ride towards a\npicturesque skyline. This film has plenty of imagery that will stick with you\nafter the credits roll. Abominable has one visually engrossing setpiece after\nanother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also love how integral music is in <em>Abominable<\/em>. Playing the violin is how Yi\nconnects with her father after he\u2019s gone and expresses what she\u2019s feeling with\nevery single note. The violin factors heavily into the score and is flawlessly\ngraceful. Over the course of the film, Yi realizes her ability to do great\nthings through her music and it\u2019s an important facet of her development\nonscreen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Abominable15C35_sq2201_s50_f126_2k_00714R.jpg?resize=225%2C124&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4854\" width=\"225\" height=\"124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Abominable15C35_sq2201_s50_f126_2k_00714R.jpg?resize=300%2C165&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Abominable15C35_sq2201_s50_f126_2k_00714R.jpg?resize=768%2C422&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Abominable15C35_sq2201_s50_f126_2k_00714R.jpg?resize=1024%2C562&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Abominable15C35_sq2201_s50_f126_2k_00714R.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption>(from left) Yi (Chloe Bennet) and Jin (Tenzing Norgay Trainor) in DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio\u2019s &#8220;Abominable,&#8221; written and directed by Jill Culton.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I wish the care and precision that go\ninto the visuals and music were evident in the movie\u2019s story. <em>Abominable<\/em> is at least the third family\nfilm about yetis within 18 months, coming after <em>Missing Link <\/em>and <em>Smallfoot<\/em>\nand it feels a tad derivative from the get-go.

The feel of the movie is soothing and delivers positive vibes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[15],"tags":[627,626,630,634,642,22,637,624,645,628,623,641,631,638,639,644,646,635,640,632,636,629,622,643,633,625],"class_list":["post-4849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-feature-film-reviews","tag-abominable","tag-abominable-movie","tag-abominable-snowman","tag-albert-tsai","tag-animated-comedy","tag-animation","tag-bigfoot","tag-chloe-bennet","tag-comedy-adventure","tag-dreamworks","tag-dreamworks-animation","tag-dreamworkstv","tag-eddie-izzard","tag-everest","tag-family-animation","tag-jake-paul","tag-jill-culton","tag-kids","tag-logan-paul","tag-michelle-wong","tag-movie","tag-sarah-paulson","tag-tenzing-norgay-trainor","tag-todd-wilderman","tag-universal-pictures","tag-yeti"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paS5I2-1gd","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4849","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4849"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4849\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4862,"href":"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4849\/revisions\/4862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
