I was interested in this because I do like the mystic around Yeti. One of my son’s favorite books as a child was a book on Yeti. In this story, a Yeti is captured but is able to escape. Now, being in a city and not in the native lands that the Yeti is familiar with, things look grim. Until, he meets a sympathetic kid that has a story of their own. Together, they must try to get the Yeti back to their lands. All kinds of secrets will be revealed and, as with the case often times, secrets that the world is not ready for.
Overall, I enjoyed the story. It at times lagged a bit, but outside of that it was a decent story. The moments that the movie lags does make it seem longer than it is. Some of the lagging could be that the story was just missing something. Kind of like it was dancing between trying to be a kids film yet trying to give enough content to keep adults interested. I am not sure if it accomplished either to perfection. Still a decent film that has some great moments.
