Choose Your Own Adventure: The Abominable Snowman

MOVIE #1,980 • SCORE 6/10 • 09.19.24
SERIES: JAMES HONG A-Z ACTOR FOCUS (Ch. 30)

I had made the executive decision to skip over all cartoon voice work when it came to these A-Z actor filmography serieses but I made an exception here because A) this was too wacky to pass up, and B) someone posted an entire walk-through of this interactive DVD on YouTube. If you’ve seen Bandersnatch or other Netflix titles of similar ilk then you know the drill – it’s pretty much the exact same thing…


The first ‘endgame’ hits just 17 minutes into this, so the user plays out all the other scenarios. Because we just HAD to know. I would say he hit the “END” screen probably a dozen times over the course of the 67-minute video but was I paying the best attention? No, of course not.

It’s a pretty random voice cast: featuring a gruff-sounding William H. Macy as the top-billed lead alongside TV children Frankie Muniz and Lacey Chabert. Hong’s character doesn’t pop up until three-quarters of the way through, so kids of the mid-00s really had to work the remote to get here…


I mean, there’s not much else to say. This is 95% the gimmick and is shockingly light on abominable snowmen for something titled The Abominable Snowman.
