Based on the beloved Choose Your Own Adventure children's series, the first DVD animated version stars 3 youngsters attempting to track down their missing Uncle. His last known activities were tracking down the fabled Yeti.

Their fate is in your hands---or in your DVD remote, at least. Watch the carefully drawn cartoon, decide which direction to take when the program prompts you, and enjoy 11 different possible scenarios with complete endings. Simple without being derogatory, elegant and downright fun, Abominable Snowman manages to keep your attention and anticipation of the next choice all the way through the movie. Starring the voice talents of actors such as William H. Macy and Frankie Muniz, the DVD is both an education and a sheer enjoyment. Bonus features include a Behind-the-Scenes featurette, a mini-documentary of how people live in Nepal , a music video, collectible travel journal, and a widescreen format.

Everything is going to electronic media these days, so why not a beloved book series from when we were kids? Let the next generation enjoy the series as much as we did, in a format they'll most likely (at that point) recognize. There are many different possibilities so the recurring value for this purchase is great!
