![]() So, can you imagine how stoked I am for the second movie?! Yeah? Beyond, dude, beyond!Īnyhoo, along with the much anticipated Despicable Me 2, Gameloft launched a game freely available for iOS and Android users. I'm certain you've already heard from the trailer (and which, by the way, not to sound too nerdy, I memorized ages ago). They have this Banana and Potato song which is very, very, very adorable. Minions talk funny and I really believe every Despicable Me geek out there should learn their language so we could converse like them. I mean, they're so cute and funny and lovable and all that and I fell in love with them instantly the moment I saw them in the first Despicable Me movie. If you don't, I think you're not from this planet and you should get out! Kidding. Eliot famously mused, “Do I dare to eat a peach?” In the Minions case, it’s a banana, and the answer is most assuredly YES.There isn't anyone in this world who doesn't love minions. An affirmation of fun is precisely why Minions: The Rise of Gru entertains and ultimately satisfies as a piece of entertainment. At a funeral, the Minions sing the choir opening from “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” by the Rolling Stones. Delight to new versions of “Funkytown,” “Dance to the Music,” and “Fly Like an Eagle” that pop up at perfectly timed moments. The soundtrack includes a hip cadre of indie stars doing covers of popular songs of the era. A child won’t even recognize what that object is. Another gag highlights the time it takes to dial a number on a rotary phone. Henson, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Lucy Lawless, Dolph Lundgren, Danny Trejo, and Alan Arkin all do an amusing riff on their personas for knowledgeable viewers that are in on the joke. Check out the starry ensemble that’s doing the voices of the Vicious 6. ![]() Quite honestly, there are enough gags for both children and adults to appreciate. However, if you have young kids, they will definitely want to see this. Like trying to analyze why the goofy hijinks of The Three Stooges or Benny Hill are funny. It is impossible to explain the joy of slapstick to the unconverted. The Minions have this certain indefinable “je ne sais quoi.” The Minions are the humor found in slipping on the peel of a banana - an English word often heard in their cryptic polyglot language. At one point, three of them - Kevin, Stuart, and Bob - pose as two pilots and a flight attendant to sneak on board a plane so they can fly to San Francisco. There is something so quixotically engaging about their behavior. The whole purpose of these movies is to highlight the silly, crazy antics of those lovable rapscallions. Of course, the story is beside the point. There’s also a biker (RZA) that Otto befriends on his way to San Francisco. Helping the Minions on their quest is Master Chow (Michelle Yeoh), an acupuncturist and Kung Fu fighter. Now everyone is on the chase to reacquire the charm. However, one of the Minions - I believe his name is Otto - trades the precious talisman for a pet rock. He intends to give it back in hopes he will earn their respect. To prove himself, he successfully steals a powerful amulet called the Zodiac Stone that the crew has newly acquired. Gru applies, but when the group sees he’s just a kid, they reject him. They recently expelled one of their members, and now they’re auditioning for a new replacement. Criminal mastermind Gru is an 11-year-old who desperately wants to join the Vicious 6, a criminal organization of six supervillains. The second prequel is subtitled The Rise of Gru and is set in 1976. The Minions movies take place before the proper franchise.
