The Unstoppable Yellow Yeti (Finnish: Keltainen lumimies; French: L'incroyable Yellow Yeti) is an animated television series created by Anttu Harlin and Joonas Utti that aired on Disney Channel in France from 14 May to 18 December 2022, and released in Finland on Yle Areena from 1 July 2022[3][1] to 6 January 2023.
[4] In the first episode, 12-year-old surfer boy Osmo is forced to leave his old life behind when he moves with his father to Winterton,[5][2][6] a fictional village north of the Arctic Circle, where it snows all year round.
[1] Osmo and his cousin Rita meet a yellow yeti, named Gustav, and start to have adventures with him.
The series features many Finnish things like ice-swimming, May Day celebrations and crayfish parties,[1] a fast food treat from Lappeenranta and bucket queues.
[5] In 2015, Gigglebug Entertainment, Disney EMEA and Zodiak Kids Studios started developing the series together.
[1] The production of true series began in summer 2020 with Utti as chief director and Harlin as executive producer together with Zodiak Kids Studios' CEO Benoit di Sabatino.
Lucy Pryke of Gigglebug Entertainment[10] and Gary Milne of Zodiak Kids were appointed as creative producers.
Kike broke the Finnish behavioural taboos and taught Utti to see the world from a new perpective.
[1] During the brainstorming phase, Gustav was made into a felt-doll[5] and Utti and Harlin joked about yellow snow.
[18] Leaving from a summery island, Osmo and his dad Nick are going to a town called Winterton to meet his cousin Rita.
Coming out of the area is a giant yellow yeti named Gustav, which Osmo gets freaked out by at first, but noticed it speaking.
Going to Winterton peak, the gang, alongside Nick and Rita's parents are on a camping trip.
They did lose the map, but Gustav senses a smell of the fish fins and finds it, which gives Rita excitement, and found where Ertton was camping.
Osmo, Rita and Gustav decide to take the rug to the monster mountain graveyard with a traditional yeti funeral.
While barring the remains, turns out however that that Gustav's grandpa is still alive and comes to graveyard to spend time with his dead friends.
After a glacier that was supposed to break apart at the beginning of spring stays intact, everyone suddely falls in love with each other, much to Gustav's disgust.
