It doesn't leave much room for a layered story or smart jokes to keep the parents entertained. The jokes are largely geared towards kids, and most are of the farting or vomiting variety. |
| 246400 | Richard Crouse | Richard Crouse | Fresh | 4/5 | 2021-01-31T15:20:52.000Z | 2021-01-31 15:20:52 | Simple messages on grief, loss and perseverance ("When things get tough you just keep going," Yi says helpfully.) provide an emotional subtext but it's the film's light touch and visuals that pack the biggest punch. |

Maybe that is why I found this film so emotionally appealing. |
| 246410 | Marie Asner | Phantom Tollbooth | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2019-12-13T23:01:37.000Z | 2019-12-13 23:01:37 | Family doesn't have to mean father, mother, children and in-laws, sometimes there are missing people, so friends take up the slack, and even animals can be family members, especially large, white, furry ones. Abominable is fun entertainment. |

They've made the young yeti into a cross between a slobbering St. Bernard, an albino pug, and polyvinyl chew toy. |

But slowly the strange magic of this box-office hit begins to shine through... |
| 246432 | Ed Potton | The Times (UK) | Fresh | 4/5 | 2019-10-15T16:51:24.000Z | 2019-10-15 16:51:24 | Yet the Miyazaki-style magic and gentle subversion of Jill Culton's film stops it from feeling like an extended tourist promo. The 12ft dandelions are a delight. |

In many ways the fight to protect Everest is to protect nature and all her mysterious and wonderful mysteries. |

But in the lens of some of Dreamworks finest, it would seem "Abominable" could use a little more soul searching. |

| 246464 | Margot Harrison | Seven Days (VT) | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2019-10-02T17:00:58.000Z | 2019-10-02 17:00:58 | Written and directed by Jill Culton, Abominable is above par for a family animation. |

| 246466 | Jackie K. Cooper | jackiekcooper.com | Fresh | 6/10 | 2019-10-02T01:12:21.000Z | 2019-10-02 01:12:21 | Sweet story (we have seen a thousand times) and wonderful animation make this a family friendly film that entertains. |

| 246468 | Laura Hiros | Diario La Estrella (Fort Worth, TX) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2019-10-01T17:11:08.000Z | 2019-10-01 17:11:08 | The story is lethargic, and sometimes loses strength... but [the film] does not stop trying and in the end gifts a beautiful moral. [Full review in Spanish] |

| 246470 | Neil Soans | The Times of India | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2019-09-30T23:41:23.000Z | 2019-09-30 23:41:23 | The film's focus on its visual dazzle and its sensitivity towards nature and family values are bound to win hearts all around. |
| 246471 | Devesh Sharma | Filmfare | Fresh | 3/5 | 2019-09-30T23:41:22.000Z | 2019-09-30 23:41:22 | Watch this feel-good film for its eye-catching animation but don't expect it to move you emotionally... |
| 246472 | William Venegas | La Nación (Costa Rica) | Fresh | — | 2019-09-30T14:50:28.000Z | 2019-09-30 14:50:28 | We will remember the poetic moments of the film for a long time, because it's when Abominable knows how to behave as if it was a dream. A familiar and highly recommended movie. [Full Review in Spanish] |

| 246475 | Andrea Chase | Killer Movie Reviews | Rotten | 2/5 | 2019-09-29T17:40:12.000Z | 2019-09-29 17:40:12 | As bland as its eponymous character. Worse, it's one long déjà vu experience of pre-fab whimsy and schmaltz whose greatest virtue is its very forgetablity. |
| 246476 | Roxana Hadadi | Chesapeake Family Magazine | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2019-09-29T01:10:09.000Z | 2019-09-29 01:10:09 | Abominable is gorgeously animated, but the story is a little lacking, with a protagonist whose journey is so focused on other characters that we learn little about her own life. |
| 246477 | Jason Escamilla | EskimoTV | Fresh | B | 2019-09-28T14:00:29.000Z | 2019-09-28 14:00:29 | Despite unrealistic stock villains, the admirable protagonist and the lessons her and her friends learn along a beautiful exciting journey make "Abominable" worth seeing! |

Heart! (Full Content Review for Parents - Violence, Scary Scenes, etc. - also Available) |
| 246487 | Erick Estrada | Cinegarage | Fresh | — | 2019-09-27T19:31:55.000Z | 2019-09-27 19:31:55 | Technically, the film is a very good achievement... There is this very good sequence development of action and comedy. Everything is well made. [Full Review in Spanish] |

| 246491 | Vincent Schilling | Indian Country Today | Fresh | 9/10 | 2019-09-27T18:41:37.000Z | 2019-09-27 18:41:37 | Abominable magically dazzles with charm, beauty and a whole lot of family fun. If you want to feel like a kid again, go see it. |
