Abominable (known as: Everest) is a computer animated movie made by DreamWorks Amimation and Pearl Studio. It stars the voices of Chloe Bennet, Albert Tsai, Tenzing Norgay Trainor, Eddie Izzard, Sarah Paulson, Tsai Chin and Michelle Wong.

The story is about a girl named Yi who lives in an apartment in Shanghai and is best friends with a yeti she names Everest. Everest becomes separated with his family, so Yi embarks an adventure with her human friends Jin and Peng to take Everest back home before he gets captured by 2 villains, a wealthy man named Burnish and a poacher named Dr. Zara.

Abominable was the first DreamWorks original animated movie to be distributed by Universal Pictures following NBCUniversal's acquisition of the studio. The previous DreamWorks Animation movie How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World was the first sequel to be distributed by Universal Pictures and was the first DreamWorks Animation movie to do so overall.
