gizaFor the crowd that used to read "Choose Your Own Adventure" books in years past, the series has finally made its way to the DVDs. The first book to be made into a DVD is The Abominable Snowman, based on the original action/adventure Choose Your Own Adventure book of the same name by R.A. Montgomery.
The story starts out with the three main characters, Benjamin, Crista, and Marco who travel to the Himalayas to find their Uncle Rudy has turned up missing while searching for the mythical Yetis. I can't go into much more of the plot without giving anything away, because at every key point, the viewer is presented with a choice, the same as in the original book series. The choices you make determine what direction the story takes and how it ends. There are 11 possible endings in all. When the end of a particular branch has been reached, you are given the opportunity to work your way backwards through each choice you made and choose new paths.
The intended audience for this DVD is the 11-15 year old group. However, any adult who enjoyed the original books as a child will probably also like the DVD. The DVD also includes some bonus features, such as 28-minute documentary about Nepal that as an adult I found rather educational.
