A Yeti Adventure (2017) User Reviews

Nice art style but devoid of charm

[robhayden-50932 · 4/10 · 9 December 2018]

Entirely forgettable. Perhaps the English translation loses something but the dialogue is unconvincing and robs the characters, with the possible exception of Tensing, of any likeability. The 3d animation is quite nicely done and the backdrops have a coherent watercolour style but cheap tricks like a lack of interaction between objects and snow make it all look a bit like a thrown together TV show at times. And asking why your captain is sailing south having just crossed the Atlantic from Canada to the eastern med is just one example of several weird moments that throw you out of the story.

It's a cartoon.

It's a cartoon, it's fiction, it's just intertainment for young audiens. So if isn't historically right or language either, get over it. It's for Kids to watch.

Canadian animated movie

[SnoopyStyle · 5/10 · 23 November 2022]

It's 1950's Quebec City, Canada. Amateur detective Nelly Maloye encounters assistant scientist Simon Picard. He believes in the existence of the Yeti. He has three months to find the Yeti in the Himalayas. They and Picard's bird board a ship to cross the oceans.

This Canadian animation is more fitting for the TV screen. The block animation is TV level. The story is simplistic. There is very little tension. It's like the stereotypical Canadian niceness has made the story bland. They don't have an antagonist. It's a series of obstacles without a foe to battle. It's fine for little kids, but nothing much for anybody else.

Nepalese donot speak Hindi. We have our own language that is Nepali.

Please do some research before making movies. If you are trying to potray nepalese character then better not mix its language with some others. Most of the words that Sherpa guys spoke is Hindi for FYI. And Nepalese people dont eat so called Chapati. And we dont even know what Saheb means. Please respect the language and culture of others. Try to get some expert before making such movie.

Waste of time unfortunately

Pretty nicely animated, but further in the movie lacking any thrill or sense whatsoever, one of the worst animations ive ever seen, which is quite sad to know that there actually can be one.

Cheap

[westsideschl · 3/10 · 9 March 2019]

The story was a scrambled mess of stereotypes. We have a wealthy benefactor to a museum; a detective who just accidentally shows up while being chased; a museum curator who believes in Yetis; a Himalayan family. All go on a hunt in the Himalayas for the Yeti, and all turn out to be not-believable cartoonish characters. Add really poor animation quality - flat washed out 2-D backgrounds, and central characters that look like plastic animated toys. Oh, dialogue was grade school level dumb e.g. they kept saying, "Are we there yet!".

It's -well- different

Let's get it out - it's not MCU, DC, PIXAR or any other Attention deficit disorder production, filled with shaky cam, jump cuts, explosions, P. C. or Woke characters, desperately trying to mimic the last blockbuster that attracted the attention of the muggles.

So if you don't like this - congrats - you're one of those muggles for whom Wholly Weird, et al, make ugly radio.

I'm reminded of the snark, "It's French, don't try to explain it..." No bombastic eye tearing state of the art CGI - just a story. A story with a humble moral : don't jump to conclusions before you get to the end of the story.

It's not "Fantastic Planet" - but it has its own internal logic. I rather enjoyed it, and that's all one can expect - entertainment.
