Smallfoot

Smallfoot is a 2018 American animated musical comedy film produced by Warner Animation Group and Zaftig Films, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. Based on the unpublished children's book Yeti Tracks by Sergio Pablos, the film was co-written and directed by Karey Kirkpatrick, and stars the voices of Channing Tatum, James Corden, Zendaya, Common, LeBron James, Gina Rodriguez, Danny DeVito, Yara Shahidi, Ely Henry, and Jimmy Tatro. The plot follows a tribe of Himalayan Yeti who come across a human being, with each species thinking the other was just a myth.

Smallfoot was theatrically released in the United States on September 28, 2018. It received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed $214 million at the box office.

A village of Yetis live in isolation on a mountain above the clouds in the Himalayas. A young yeti named Migo abides by the law of the ancient stones held by Stonekeeper, the yetis' leader. The yetis believe ringing a gong with their heads wakes up the sun. While learning how to ring the gong, Migo gets distracted by his crush, Stonekeeper's daughter Meechee. He misses the gong, landing outside the village. There, Migo witnesses a plane crash and finds a "smallfoot" (human), whom the yetis believe is mythical.

Migo runs back to inform the villagers, but Stonekeeper claims he is lying and banishes him from the village. Migo is visited by rejected yetis Gwangi, Kolka, and Fleem, who do not believe in the stones. They bring him to the Smallfoot Evidentiary Society (S.E.S.) led by Meechee. She convinces Migo to travel below the clouds. After some hesitation, Migo agrees, but his rope snaps and Migo falls, discovering land. Meanwhile, British human and wildlife documentary filmmaker Percy Patterson has lost most of his viewership. He meets the pilot who saw Migo, and in an attempt to regain his fame, tries unsuccessfully to convince his assistant, Brenda, to dress up as a yeti for filming. Migo arrives and tries to communicate with Percy, but inadvertently terrifies him. After an attempt to tranquilize Migo, the errant dart hits Percy instead. Migo decides to abduct the unconscious Percy, stuffing him into a sleeping bag.

During the trek back up the mountain, Migo and Percy encounter a severe blizzard and are blown into a nearby cave. Migo discovers that Percy has frozen completely solid. He lights a fire and ties Percy up over it to thaw him out. As Percy regains consciousness, he believes Migo is trying to cook him alive. Percy breaks free from the rope and films and uploads a video of Migo before attempting to escape. Migo saves Percy from a bear in the cave. Migo's toe becomes ensnared in a bear trap. Percy takes pity on Migo, removing the trap and bandaging his wound. Realizing that Migo is trying to communicate with him, Percy agrees to go with him, and they head back up the mountain overnight, where they reunite with the S.E.S.

The yetis are confused by Percy's appearance but welcome him, much to Stonekeeper's dismay. Stonekeeper then reveals to Migo that long ago, the yetis used to live below the clouds but were forced into hiding by the vicious humans who mercilessly attacked them. To keep themselves safe, the yetis created the stones and fled to the mountain, where humans cannot survive. Meanwhile, Meechee is able to develop rudimentary communication with Percy by referring to crude chalk drawings Percy scribbles on her cave wall. Desperate to protect the village and Meechee, Migo reluctantly agrees to continue Stonekeeper's lie, telling the yetis that Percy is just a hairless wild yak. Stonekeeper locks Percy in an ice box, so he cannot alert other humans of the yetis' whereabouts. Migo later discovers that Meechee took Percy to return him home and jumps down the mountain, with Gwangi and Kolka in tow.

Percy discovers that his video of Migo has generated significant public excitement; Meechee becomes distracted by the wonders of Kathmandu and accidentally causes a public disruption. She is attacked by the police, but Gwangi, Kolka, and Migo rescue her. As Migo tries to explain to Meechee that humans are monsters, they see a mural depicting a yeti attacking people and realize that humans view them as monsters. The yetis try to return to the mountain but are chased by a SWAT helicopter. Migo tries to divert the police away from the other yetis when Percy arrives on his snowmobile and tranquilizes Migo to scare him off and protect him.

Back at the village, Migo explains the truth to the yetis and apologizes for lying to them. He explains that even though humans may still be scared of the yetis, they should try to communicate with them. The yetis leave the village to go down the mountain. Percy and Brenda notice them and emerge from the crowd to stand up for the yetis. The rest of the humans slowly welcome the yetis and accept them into their lives.
