Biography[]
Background[]
Abominable[]
Mr. Burnish in Shanghai, who wants to prove the Yeti's existence in the world. Yi, a young Chinese violinist, lives a hectic and busy life with her grandmother and widowed mother, which in turn leaves her little time to spend with her family. She is also friends with football fanatic Peng and tech-savvy Jin.
One evening, Yi encounters the titular Yeti near her house on the roof of her apartment building, which she names "Everest." While hiding him from Burnish Industries' helicopters, Yi gains his trust by feeding him and treating his wounds. Yi learns that Everest wants to reunite with his family on Mount Everest, while Everest learns about Yi's desire to travel across China. When Burnish Industries' private security forces close in on Everest's hiding place, Everest flees with Yi. After narrowly escaping a Burnish helicopter at the Oriental Pearl Tower, Yi and Everest flee on a ship carrying red cola cans, followed by Peng and a reluctant Jin.
Yi, Everest, and the boys arrive at a port in southern China and travel by truck. After their crate falls off the truck, they end up in a forest. There, Everest impresses the humans with his mystical powers of stimulating growth among blueberry plants.
Meanwhile, Burnish and Zara continue the hunt for Everest. Following Everest and his human friends' trail, they catch up with them in the Sichuan region, but Everest uses his power to cause a plant to grow to a gigantic size. While Yi, Everest, and Peng manage to escape on the wind-blown shoot, Jin is left behind and captured by the Goon Leader.
Jin learns that she is planning to hunt down and kill the yeti for medical research. He also learns that the seemingly cold–hearted Mr. Burnish has a soft spot for animals, including Zara's pet jerboa. She also reveals that once they capture the yeti, she is planning to kill the Yi and his friends as well. Meanwhile, Yi, Everest, and Peng reach the Gobi Desert, where they befriend several tortoises, who gratefully accept their giant shoot. Later, they travel to a town on the banks of the Yellow River, but Burnish Industries corners them. Peng helps them escape by unleashing a yak stampede. With the help of Jin, they escape across the Yellow River to a field of yellow flowers, which Everest causes to blossom to gargantuan sizes.
Continuing their journey, the humans and Everest eventually reach the Himalayas. While crossing a bridge, they are trapped on both sides by Burnish Industries' forces. However, Mr. Burnish experiences a change of heart after seeing Everest protecting Yi and his friends, causing him to experience a flashback to his first encounter with the yeti, which was protecting its younglings. Seeking to exploit Everest for scientific research, Zara injects Mr. Burnish with a tranquilizer before tranquilizing Everest, as well. Dr. Zara then takes off her glasses and loosen her hair. When Yi tries to protect Everest, Zara throws her over the bridge. Mr. Burnish Industries then departs the mountain, with the captive Everest, Peng, and Jin in tow.
However, Yi manages to cling to a rope. She then uses her violin, which Everest has magically repaired, to summon ice, which reinvigorates Everest, who breaks free of his cage. Everest violently roars at Zara and her accomplices, jolting them to run away in terror. Zara, along with the goon leader, later attempts to run over Everest with a snowmobile. The goon leader told her to keep the yeti alive, but Zara insists otherwise. When she thinks she has won, she soon realizes her mistake as she accidentally starts an avalanche after hitting the mountain, where she and the goon leader look up in shock. The mountain ends up coming down on a landslide, leading both Zara and the goon leader to fall to their deaths.
Dr. Zara shows no remorse in killing the yeti, the kids, and Mr. Burnish. When Yi tries to protect Everest from being electrocuted, Dr. Zara shoves her off the bridge with an evil grin on her face. Later, when Yi is alive and frees Everest with her magic violin, Dr. Zara, in anger, decides to kill the yeti with her snowmobile. This plan fails, however, when an avalanche comes down, and Dr. Zara and the goon leader are seen falling from the snow.
