But the trio of friends will have to stay one-step ahead of Burnish (Eddie Izzard), a wealthy man intent on capturing a Yeti, and zoologist Dr. Zara (Sarah Paulson) to help Everest get home.
Did you find the plot interesting? I did know what to expect from this animated movie based on the trailer.
Did I like this one? This movie was above average.
