Great 4K UltraHD movie
This is an incredible opportunity to watch a family greatest movie from the DreamWorks. I hope your lines at the stores never will reduce the space of movies. Remember you have an especial customer in this area. My family and me enjoyed ourselves this technology advance item. One more time thank you Bestbuy

Recommended Family Entertainment
A fun story turned into an entertaining movie with creative visuals and music. Children and adults will enjoy it. A good deal too at only 22 for the 4K edition.

Magical
Cute children’s movie, good extras on 4K DVD, some mild scary parts, but overall funny! Friends discover a yeti and go on a brave adventure to reunite him with his family.

The individual parts are greater than the sum
Abominable is an interesting film in that it should NOT work as well as it does. It really has no right to work as well as it does. But, bottom line, is it DOES work and it's one of the most adorable, sweet and entertaining animated film from 2019. Of the three "yeti" films from the past 18 months, this is the one that stands head and shoulders above the rest (sorry "Missing Link" fans, but it's true...) for its heart and ability to connect with the audience. Now, that said...there's a lot of issues with it including pacing, plot, busy animation, poorly developed characters and cliches in storytelling. Sounds like a bad movie, right? Nope...this is the rare film that overcomes its weaknesses and the strength of the individual parts that DO work far far FAR outweigh its shortcomings. Rare indeed. Spoilers may ensue from here on out...you HAVE been warned. First, there are simply too many characters and the poor movie (and audience) nearly get ADHD from trying to follow each and every one. This comes from having to check off certain boxes (apparent villain who turns good, check. sidekick who turns evil, check. supporting love interest who has to grow to understand what the partner is going through, check. supporting character for comedic relief, check. etc. etc. etc.). This leads to the second issue: Second, an overly complicated plot. The core of this movie is simply someone learning to live life again after a heart shattering loss. Stick with that, because when the movie does it simply sticks its landing. There's even a connection thematically between the girl and the yeti on that front and when they are helping each other to overcome their respective challenges, the movie sings. When it busies itself with other nonsense the movie gets bogged down. We don't need an evil explorer with a sudden heart of gold or high tech drones or a private military force...it just didn't add anything. Tell your story, focus on your story and the characters you need. Girl is close to her father. Girl distances herself from everyone after his death. Girl finds a scared baby (teen? young adult? it's a bit unclear how old Everest is but he's clearly not fully grown, but his behavior and skill level demonstrated throughout the film seem to indicate a fluid age...lol) yeti and helps him get home. Yeti helps girl reconnect to life. The scene where they meet is awesome. The scene at the buddhist temple is just unbelievably moving and connects with the audience hard. When the girl's violin is accidentally smashed a bit earlier, her reaction is raw yet honest and we - the audience - want to do anything we can to help her. I know this sounds like hyperbole, but - honestly - it really isn't. When you see these scenes, and scattered others, the film just works. Much, much better than it should and the sheer volume of distracting, extraneous material in the film implies that either the filmmakers hit upon things by sheer luck (highly unlikely) or the film was created via collaboration (more likely considering the fact two studios made it). The thing that really helps connect the movie together, though, is its soundtrack. The violin theme is simply a beautiful piece of music and perhaps that connective lyrical tissue is what elevates the film beyond just a sequence of mediocre to good scenes but into a film that one wants to experience again and again. Yeah, watched it three times already...
