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

Plot

A village of Yetis live in isolation, on a mountain above the clouds in the Himalayas. [9] A 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, Percy Patterson, a British human and wildlife documentary filmmaker, 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 yetis and humans can't understand each other. He inadvertently terrifies Percy, who attempts 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 and save his life. 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. As Migo chases Percy, his toe becomes ensnared in a bear trap. Percy takes pity on Migo, removing the trap and bandaging his wound. Realizing that the yeti is trying to communicate with him, Percy agrees to go with Migo, 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 tells Migo that 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.

Meanwhile, Meechee is able to develop rudimentary communication with Percy by referring to crude chalk drawings Percy scribbles on her cave wall. Migo agrees to continue Stonekeeper's lie to protect the village, telling the yetis that Percy is just a hairless wild yak. Stonekeeper locks Percy in an ice box, so he can't alert other humans of the yetis' whereabouts. Migo later discovers that Meechee took Percy to return him home and jumps down the mountain. Gwangi and Kolka follow.

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 make it back 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.

Production

The legend of the Yeti and an original idea by Sergio Pablos inspired the story. Yeti by Philippe Semeria.jpg
The legend of the Yeti and an original idea by Sergio Pablos inspired the story.

Writers Glenn Ficarra and John Requa conceived of Smallfoot, interested in a story about Yeti or Bigfoot; they drew inspiration from an original idea by Sergio Pablos. [10]

The concept for Smallfoot was in development before director Karey Kirkpatrick joined the project in July 2016; he viewed an animatic in which Percy was a "ski bum type" with no motivation on his personality in the first drafts of the script and repetitive gag lines, and so they added more elements in his later revisions by giving arc and depth to his character. Kirkpatrick also said Meechee was undeveloped, and she was made head of the S.E.S. in rewrites. [11] Observing Brexit and a rise in nationalism, Kirkpatrick also drew inspiration:

Truth was under attack ... certainly phrases like alternative facts were being thrown around. So, it became an age of misinformation fueled by agendas that are often fueled by fear. And like, 'I want this result, and so I am skewing the truth.' That is just in the zeitgeist. [12]

On May 11, 2017, it was announced that the film was in-production with Channing Tatum, Zendaya, and Gina Rodriguez providing the lead voice roles. [13] Ely Henry was originally hired as a scratch vocal for the film four years before its release, however was later invited to join the cast and subsequently voiced Fleem in the final product. [14] The film was animated by Sony Pictures Imageworks, who had earlier been hired by Warner Animation Group to provide animation for Storks , [15] and utilized Autodesk Maya for the animation process. [16] Ryan O'Loughlin, a DreamWorks Animation veteran, was originally the film's director, but was replaced by Kirkpatrick. [17]

Music

The score for the film was composed by Heitor Pereira. The songs were written by Karey Kirkpatrick and his brother Wayne Kirkpatrick. The film originally had no songs until six months into production when the suggestion of making the film a musical came from Toby Emmerich, who was recently elected as chairman of the Warner Bros. Pictures Group at the time, partially because the Kirkpatrick brothers had previously written the music and lyrics for the Tony-winning Broadway musical Something Rotten! . [2]

The songs include "Perfection" performed by Channing Tatum, "Wonderful Life" performed by Zendaya, "Percy's Pressure" performed by James Corden (music from the song "Under Pressure", additional lyrics by Karey and Wayne Kirkpatrick), "Wonderful Questions" performed by Tatum & Zendaya, "Let It Lie" performed by Common, "Moment of Truth" performed by CYN, and "Finally Free" perfromed by Niall Horan (written by Horan, Ian Franzino, Andrew Hass, John Ryan and Julian Bunetta). [18]

The soundtrack peaked at number 8 on the Billboard 200. [19] The song "Finally Free" peaked on a couple of Billboard charts including number 39 on the Mexico Ingles Airplay chart and number 2 on the Bandsintown X Billboard Top Livestream Artists chart. [20] [21]

Marketing

In late summer 2018, American pizza chain Chuck E. Cheese's announced that they would be the official partner of the film. [23] Marketing materials for the film, in particular a series of posters in Los Angeles advertising the cast of the film with phrases such as "Zendaya is Meechee", turned into a minor Internet meme (in a short song by Gabriel Gundacker). [24]

Home media

Smallfoot was released on Digital on iTunes, Movies Anywhere, Microsoft Store, Vudu, and Amazon Prime on December 4, 2018, and on DVD, Blu-ray, Blu-Ray 3D and Digital Copy on December 11, 2018. [25] [26] The releases also included a short film, titled Super Soozie.

Reception

Box office

Smallfoot grossed $83.2 million in the United States and Canada, and $130.9 million in other territories, for a total worldwide gross of $214.1 million. [8]

In the United States and Canada, Smallfoot was released alongside Night School , Little Women and Hell Fest , and was projected to gross $25–30 million from 4,131 theaters in its opening weekend. [7] The film made $6.5 million on its first day, including $850,000 from Thursday night previews, more than the Warner Animation Group's previous September release Storks ($435,000 in 2016). It went on to debut to $23 million, finishing second at the box office behind Night School. [27] It made $14.3 million in its second weekend and $9.1 million in its third, dropping 37% each time and finishing third and fifth, respectively. [28] [29]

Critical response

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 76% based on 127 reviews, with an average rating of 6.3/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Smallfoot offers a colorful distraction that should keep younger viewers entertained - and a story whose message might even resonate with older audiences." [30] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 60 out of 100, based on 25 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". [31] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A−" on an A+ to F scale, while PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it 4 out of 5 stars. [27]

Future

In September 2018, Ficarra and Requa expressed hope for a sequel, with Requa stating that they "could make a whole other movie just on that shtick that we came up with". Ficarra added "Hopefully, we are lucky enough to be in that position. But you have to wait for the world to digest it to a certain extent [...] We have a myriad of ideas. Just in the discarded notions that we have entertained over the last 6 years." [38]

In October 2018, on the subject of a sequel Kirkpatrick stated, "Haven't gone there yet, but you know it's really just the importance of truth. And the way to get to truth is by asking questions and never losing your sense of wonder and curiosity that leads to bridging a gap between the 'us' and the 'them'. I mean, we are often given misconceptions about things that make us different. And the only way to break through that is to question it and you won't question things without a sense of curiosity and wonder. So never lose that. All the songs basically have something to do with that." [39]
