Without a master to grovel for, the Minions fall into a deep depression. The sequel, Minions: The Rise of Gru, was released on July 2022.Įvolving from single-celled yellow organisms at the dawn of time, Minions live to serve, but find themselves working for a continual series of unsuccessful masters, from a T-rex to Napoleon. Minions had its world premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square in London on June 11, 2015, and was released in the United States on July 10, 2015. The movie was first hinted at in the end credits of Despicable Me 2, during which Kevin, Stuart, and Bob, three of the Minions and the film's main characters, are seen auditioning for the film. Directed by Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda, written by Brian Lynch, and produced by Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy, the film stars the voices of Coffin (as the Minions, including Kevin, Stuart, and Bob), Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm, Michael Keaton, Allison Janney, Steve Coogan, and Jennifer Saunders, with narration by Geoffrey Rush. It is the spin-off prequel and the third installment overall in the Despicable Me franchise. Minions is a 2015 American computer-animated comedy film produced by Illumination Entertainment for Universal Pictures. Mh:greatestmovies:Despicable Me 3 (by release) Minions: The Rise of Gru (chronologically) Mh:greatestmovies:Despicable Me 2 (by release) Preceding Short: There wasn’t one, but I’d just like to take this opportunity to express my profound relief that I no longer have to sit through that god-awful (pun intended) trailer for Little Boy.Did you praised my future for a skippable SPINOFF? My Daughter’s Review: “I liked at the end when they all piled on Gru.” Not a huge deal, but kind of a cheap retcon.įun Fact: The three main Minions are essentially Minion representations of Gru’s daughters from the previous pictures, with Kevin as the tall, smart one, Margo Stuart as the troublemaker Edith and Bob as the adorable little one, Agnes.Īlso, Brad pointed out that the climax rips off the Muppet Movie: The movie is set in 1968, and the the Despicable Me movies they show Gru as a young boy in 1969, building a macaroni rocket and awkwardly trying to talk to girls, but in Minions he’s already a suave supervillain kid with sophisticated technology. There’s also one thing that kinda stuck in my crack. They could have shown the Minions washing windows for 90 minutes and it would still make $300 million. There’s not much of a plot outside of the Minions looking for a master to serve and Scarlet Overkill being a huge b-wad.The Despicable Me movies had much tighter stories and much better humor by comparison, so you’re better off watching those, but if you’re watching those you’re inevitably going to end up watching this anyway, so it doesn’t matter in the slightest. But as a movie in general, it doesn’t really work all that well. If your kids can’t get enough of these yellow bastards, then they’ll be more than satisfied. From that perspective, it hits the mark well. This is a movie that’s solely powered on the cuteness of its protagonists. Some parts did look good in 3D, but I wouldn’t really say you were missing anything in 2D. We did see it in 3D because traditionally in the Despicable Me movies the Minions do some cool 3D tricks during the end credits, but that wasn’t really the case this time. Despite the medieval torture devices, for the most part the movie is the cutest thing this side of a baby dressed like Mike Ditka.ģD?: Eh, I’m on the fence about it. It’s very odd and unnecessary for a movie made for children.Īny lessons to be learned?: Not a ton of lessons in this one, but overall it could be to associate yourself with the right people. Plus, adults who think about these things may be puzzled by questions like are the Minions immortal? How? If they’re not immortal, how do they reproduce? Good soundtrack, though.Īny scary/violent parts?: The film is chock full of slapstick violence, with a lot of explosions and various creatures being killed in accidents.Īnything that will screw up your kid’s head?: There’s a torture chamber scene, where one of the bad guys tries to hang the Minions. Would you be able to sit through it?: It really depends on if you can tolerate “minion speak.” I’m just fine with it and think it’s cute, but I can absolutely understand if it makes you want to rip your molars out and stick them in your ears.
