The animation, also, was simply amazing, as one would expect from Illumination Entertainment. Sandra Bullock gives a stellar performance to the two sided, somewhat psychotic Scarlet Overkill, as does Jon Hamm in his role as Herb (Scarlet’s husband). On top of that, from a cinematic perspective, Minions has a lot going for it. During tonight’s showing, I found myself laughing and cheering on these yellow guys, as even though they serve villains, they themselves aren’t necessarily as bad as their masters. But behind all the “shtick” lies a story of loyalty and friendship, and in a small way, and by the end of the movie, a sort of love for these yellow guys that can be felt by the audience. While they’re may not be a lot of “heart and sentimentality” to the movie, there sure is a lot of slapstick humor. In my recollection, I had seen this done once with the Shrek franchise, as similarly when Shrek’s stories ended, a supporting character, Puss in Boots, had a film entirely based on him, From my perspective, it seemed to work.Ĭan I say the same for “Minions”? Well yes, I can.

Establishing a film entirely based on the Minions is a risk. While somewhat juvenile and childlike as the franchise may be, the films always contained enough humor to satisfy both the children AND the adults.Īpparently, I wasn’t the only one who felt this way, as inevitably following “Despicable Me 2,” Universal and Illumination determined it was time to focus on the minions for once. Minions is a story of friendship, adventure… and a few bananas.Ĭall me a kid at heart, but I for one have always been a fan of the Despicable Me franchise. On their journey, Kevin, Stuart and Bob run into Scarlet Overkill ( Sandra Bullock), who tells them that she will allow them to continue to work for her provided they can steal the Queen of England’s crown. One of the minions, Kevin, has a brilliant idea, he and his friends, Stuart and Bob, will set out on a journey to find the bad-dest villain of all for the Minions to serve. The year is 1968, and the Minions are left without a master. Without a master, a minion’s life is apparently unfulfilled. Whether it was working for the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex or even Napoleon Bonaparte, Minions have always needed to serve a master, or the most powerful villain. Minions have been around since the beginning of time. James Daniel Wilson … Additional Voices (voice)Īh, the Minions!
