Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Innovative use of new technology has given rise to a truly original video adventure in which viewer choice determines both the characters' course of action and the very outcome of their journey. Based on the Choose Your Own Adventure book series, the new CGI animated Choose Your Own Adventure: The Abominable Snowman begins with the three North siblings, Benjamin (Frankie Muniz), Crista (Lacey Chabert), and Marco (Daryl Sabara), who are following their Uncle Rudy (William H. Macy) to the Himalayas in Nepal on a quest to find the elusive Yeti (Abominable Snowman). Before the kids even arrive in Nepal, viewers are called upon to decide with their remote control whether the group should parachute out of a malfunctioning plane or ride out a tough emergency landing. Once in Nepal, the group's path necessitates making a multitude of choices between opposing actions. Should they choose the conservative or adventuresome path? Follow a trusted guide or an apparently well-meaning stranger? Choose personal comfort or tenacious perseverance to the quest? Unlike most video games and interactive DVD features, there are no "wrong" decisions; each of the choices leads to a full length, yet distinct adventure with viewer's choices determining the very outcome of the adventure. In fact, viewers can potentially watch the movie eleven times and experience a different scenario with a varying outcome each viewing.

An excellent 28-minute bonus feature details life in Nepal and features real photography of Nepal's citizens going about their daily lives intermixed with interviews and footage of students from Seattle's Hamilton International Middle School and students in their sister school Kaveresthali in Katmandu, Nepal. The entire feature is accompanied by informative narration by Kate Fleming that touches upon Nepal's topography, customs, food, transportation, forms of employment, and primary religions. Other bonus features include a music video of the theme song and a behind the scenes featurette featuring actor and producer commentaries about the making of the show, individual characters, and the immense research that contributed to the authenticity of the program.

5.0 out of 5 stars From Adventure of You series to DVD what a journey., June 24, 2006
I got 2 copies of the movie back in February and my kids just loved it. It's interactive like a video game and encourages you kids to enjoy the Choose Your Own Adventure Series. There were 184 CYOA book released e mail me for a list. Edward Packard started it all with *Sugarcane Island (The Adventure of You Series) published in 1976 by Vermont Crossroads Press. Sundance Publishing also offers a complete educational series that goes along with the DVDs, Computer Program that teaches you to write, books, and Website. As a homeschooler of 1 child and 3 that go to public schools this is a great teaching program. I hope you have as much enjoyment from this as I have.

Have a blessed day,
Bobbies.books

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved these books when I was younger - great idea!!!!, July 27, 2006
By Ruben Sigala (Las Vegas, NV) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I absolutely loved these books when I was a child, and I just watched the DVD with my nephews who were completely absorbed by the interactive adventure. It's a lot of fun to be able to share a memory from my own childhood with my nephews and watch them become as engaged with the choices and outcomes as I used to be. What a great (and long overdue) idea! By design, these DVDs keep children involved for multiple viewings while the additional features provided are also educational. The fact that the makers were able to get William H. Macy and Frankie Muniz to voice the roles is just icing on the cake. On the whole, a fantastic product. Can't wait for the next one to come out!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great product for kids, July 27, 2006
By Jessie (Iowa) - See all my reviews
I didn't read these books when I was younger, but a good friend recommended the DVD. My nieces loved it! They were so excited that they could actually make the decisions for the characters! They spent the entire time absorbed, laughing over the outcomes and wondering what the alternative options would produce. This DVD naturally lends itself to multiple viewings, and the storylines are clever and fun. Great product!
