Universal City, California, November 11, 2019 – DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio’s co-production ABOMINABLE is a magical action-packed adventure for the whole family; with a 95% Audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, critics are calling this new animated classic “pure magic” (Dave Morales, Fox TV Houston). Yi, Everest and the gang come home just in time for the holidays on Digital December 3, 2019 and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-Ray, DVD and On Demand December 17, 2019 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Boasting the biggest opening for an original animated film this year, ABOMINABLE is “an epic, colorful journey home. Beautiful and exhilarating to behold” (Glenn Kenny, The New York Times). The 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and Digital versions feature tons of fun bonus content including 2 original shorts, deleted scenes, and activities for the entire family to enjoy.

This magical journey is brought to life with the voice talents of Chloe Bennet (“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D”), Golden Globe® and Emmy® Award winner Sarah Paulson (“American Horror Story”), Eddie Izzard (Cars 2), Tenzing Norgay Trainor (“Liv and Maddie”), Albert Tsai (“Fresh Off the Boat”), Tsai Chin (The Joy Luck Club) and Michelle Wong (“Scandal”).

From the studio that brought you How to Train Your Dragon, this heartwarming and humorous story follows teenage Yi (Bennet) as she encounters a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China, she and her mischievous friends, Jin (Trainor) and Peng (Tsai), name him “Everest” and embark on an epic quest to reunite the magical creature with his family at the highest point on Earth. But the trio of friends will have to stay one-step ahead of Burnish (Izzard), a wealthy man intent on capturing a Yeti, and zoologist Dr. Zara (Paulson) to help Everest get home. Heartwarming and a visual masterpiece, “ABOMINABLE is a movie for all ages with laughter and life lessons and a little bit of wonder thrown in” (Allison Rose, Flick Direct).

Bose Rondo: A new way to listen and stay connected.

The reviewer Popular Product Reviews by Amy has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product.



I am excited to introduce these amazing sunglasses enhanced with Bose sound that I got to try out first hand and they are super cool!  I chose the Bose Frames Rondo


Bose Frames Rondo feature rounded lenses for a distinct look with a smaller fit and immersive sound.. Lens Width: 49.5 mm | Bridge Width: 15.5 mm | Temple Length: 154 mm.


Nothing in or on your ears?  YES!  I love this idea so much!  It's a new way to listen. Stay connected to the world around you while discreetly listening to music with a revolutionary open-ear audio design. Enjoy both sight and sound with a built-in microphone!Bose Frames with patented acoustic chambers and premium lenses are designed for sun and sound.


Make and take clear phone calls, access Siri and your Google Assistant with the seamlessly integrated microphone. Bose Frames block up to 99% of UVA/UVB rays because they are uniformly tinted. I really like that the shatter and scratch-resistant lens are designed to survive all our life on the go busy lifestyles! The easy to use and access one-button control is one of my favorite featuresPower on and off, accept and reject calls, play and pause music, and access Siri or Google Assistant all with one button. 


Get started enjoying your Bose Frames  with One app, complete control.   The Bose Connect app gives you easy access to everything your product has to offer. Get tips, unlock Bose AR, and personalize your settings so you can spend more time enjoying the music instead of setting it up. Available on iOS and Android.  Bose AR enabled*A first-of-its-kind audio augmented reality platform that makes astonishing new audio experiences possible. Combining the power of wearable audio products, mobile devices, and integrated apps, Bose AR can augment your world with content for your ears instead of your eyes.


Bose Frames are a line of stylish, audio sunglasses that deliver a truly remarkable personal audio experience without anything in or on the ears. Unlike existing open-ear products that use bone conduction, Bose Frames use a custom-designed speaker in conjunction with a series of patented acoustic chambers and ports to steer audio into the listener’s ears from the temples of the glasses. 


The overall result is unbelievable audio clarity and spaciousness that seems almost impossible given the product’s size. 


What’s really mind-blowing is how full and rich the audio can sound for the wearer, but how little of that can be heard by anyone else, even if they’re standing next to the wearer.

Choose from three timeless styles enriched with premium accents and materials, like gold-plated hinges. Alto offers a classic angular look with a Larger and Small size fit available, while Rondo is more distinct with rounded lenses and a smaller fit.
