Critics Consensus

Working with admittedly familiar ingredients, Abominable offers audiences a beautifully animated and overall engaging adventure that the whole family can enjoy.

Ed Potton

The Times (UK)

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.

Rated: 4/5

Simran Hans

Observer (UK)

The central relationship here is not dissimilar to the one in How to Train Your Dragon, (also produced by DreamWorks Animation) but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Rated: 3/5

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

A blandly-charming, occasionally-thrilling animation...but I wanted a little bit more. Perfectly fine...

... Abominable is no Mac and Me rip-off, but a sweet story of friendship between human and monster, and one that deserves its growing reputation and success...

My twin boys and I saw this at home (I had it on dvd) but we wanted to see it on the big screen. It was so awesome. The colors, the music, the movie in general. Love love love!
