And the fun-packed action sequences are exhilarating.

The plot and the screenplay, though laced with verbose exposition, is uncomplicated, smooth and direct with much emphasis given to the exploits in the Himalayan terrain. The story is simple and meanders aimlessly with fun-filled skiing and life's lessons. The children learn skiing and soon have a faceoff with the bandit. He suggests that they can still enjoy the winter sports on the outskirts of Manali in his father's estate and he instructs his dog Juju to lead them to his father Sardar Negi.

You just wish it had a little more than what we've seen in the TV series. Thankfully, we are told all about the safety measures, even if in a tad-too-preachy voice!Ĭhhota Bheem Himalayan Adventure is amateurish but a roller coaster ride that entertains to the hilt. The only thing worth applauding in this largely familiar story is the emphasis on adventure sports. It is a simple, conventional story that is a delight for kids but it never pushes itself to further the genre. There is no clever spin to the plot and it takes up a predictable hero-versus-villain route. Overemphasising on physical prowess has always been a major issue with this cartoon series. The gripes from its previous installment stay. It is never quite photo-real but the earnestness in the effort is hard to miss. The beautiful rendering of the snow-capped mountains and the ski scenes are fabulously done. With a sketchy story at its core, its animation has a rich look. The best thing about the movie is that it is kept crisp. The writing is deliberately kept conventional and focuses completely on the deeds and misdeeds of Bheem and his gang.
