Abominable has charms to soothe the savage child. - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
Abominable delivers all the notes you expect from family-friendly animation these days. And, thankfully, a little bit more. - 67
IndieWire
The winning, warm nature of this China-set family film can’t be denied, and for all its predictable elements, Abominable is still well worth the trip. - 67
The A.V. Club
The movie is gentle enough for younger kids, but doesn’t feel obligated to play straight to a 5-year-old’s sensibility. For the first time in a while, DreamWorks seems to be trusting its filmmakers with a semi-original idea, rather than racing breathlessly to the finish line. - 63
Slant Magazine
The second half’s series of hollow visual spectacles foreground the film as a corporate product. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
It’s a little too treacly and childish in places, with a storyline that goes exactly where you expect. But those drawbacks are somewhat compensated for by a series of arresting set-pieces, each one taking us to a spectacular Far East location not yet visited by this kind of high-powered Hollywood cartoon. - 50
Screen Daily
Despite its Chinese setting and characters, the movie doesn’t feel appreciably different from so many other previous tales of lost young people who learn friendship through a pet or extra-terrestrial, and the story’s broad humour and pedestrian plotting don’t add much to this perfunctory fable. - 50
Variety
The journey is wondrous for the characters, less compelling for the audience.
