Considering that most of the stop-motion and the live action is 30 years old, it is kind of impressive.
I really enjoyed this. A little melodramatic at times, and nonsensical in others, but overall a fun adventure yarn.

Deep in the Himalayas, a group of sherpas kills a gigantic humanoid creature. Convinced that it is the legendary Yeti, Dr. Claire Collier organizes an expedition with her former student Matt Connor and hunter Rondo Montana, among others, to search for more specimens. But what awaits them is something that none of them could have imagined. A colorful fusion of real image and stop-motion that is reminiscent of fantastic films from the 1980s.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A throwback adventure that chases the spirit of 1980s fantasy cinema, blending practical creatures and earnest discovery into a colorful expedition narrative. It's the kind of film that delights in the journey and the impossible rather than demanding realism.
