Minions	comment	Minions is a 2015 American 3D computer-animated family comedy film, serving as a prequel to Despicable Me that explains the origins of Gru's little yellow henchpeoples. Having existed for millions of years as a race of bumbling helpers for whatever strong sinister force they could rally behind, the Minion race (Pierre Coffin) has found themselves masterless after years of failure. They have retreated to the Antarctic and spent years in a continuing depression, but in 1968, three Minions decide to set off into the world to find their people a new home and a new master. A trip to a Villain convention in Orlando leads them to world renowned super-villainess Scarlet Overkill (Sandra Bullock) and her inventor husband Herb (Jon Hamm), and now the minions must prove themselves worthy of such a dishonorable leader.The film was huge at the box office, earning almost $1.16 billion worldwide and becoming the second highest-grossing animated film of all time back then (a few others have topped it since). So much so, that a sequel called Minions: The Rise of Gru was announced, and originally set to be released on July 2, 2020 (this ended up being pushed back almost exactly two years, to July 1, 2022, thanks to the COVID-19 Pandemic temporarily closing the studio and further pandemic-related delays).An official clip can be seen here.Previews: Trailer 1, Trailer 2, Trailer 3

Ironically, the filmâ€™s rating on Common Sense Media is a 5+, in contrast to the first two moviesâ€™ 6+.

Minions / int_14ed6ab7	type	Does This Remind You of Anything?
Minions / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: The three Minions' relationship with Scarlet Overkill definitely bears some resemblance to an abusive relationship, except over a shorter time period. In the beginning, (s)he charms you and wins you over by acting sweet and kind, but then starts to show hints of a darker, crueler side. You accidentally upset or cross him/her, and (s)he responds by breaking up with you, complete with some emotional abuse thrown in. (This is lampshaded by Scarlet actually saying, "We're breaking up. It's not you... oh wait, yeah, it's totally you.") You're so desperate to win him/her back that you're basically willing to say that it was all your fault even if it wasn't, and go to great lengths to apologize. But if that doesn't work out the right way... then (s)he becomes physically abusive as well. Sweet dreams, kids!

Minions / int_16178c64	comment	Gratuitous Spanish: The Minions say "si" instead of "yes" and when Scarlet points at a painting of Queen Elizabeth and asks them if they know who she is, Kevin's guess is "Uh... La Cucaracha?" In fact, a large portion of their speech in this film sounds vaguely Spanish, mixed in with the Simlish they spoke in previous films. Actually, a substantial chunk of the Minions' dialogue is thinly disguised French, which shouldn't be surprising considering that co-director and Kevin/Stuart/Bob voice actor Pierre Coffin IS French, and that most Illumination Entertainment animated films are produced in France by their Animation Mac Guff division.

Minions / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: The second trailer suggested that the Villain-Con is a public event that even normal families can attend. Turns out the Villain-Con is actually held in secret and the "normal" family the Minions hitchhiked with to the con was actually a family of criminals. The trailers also implied that the movie takes place 42 years before the Minions found a boss in Gru, however near the end of the movie, Gru makes an appearance as a child and the Minions take an instant liking to him when they see him stealing the crown from Scarlet. The pre-release material suggested that the Minions' attempts to win over Scarlet Overkill would be the main focus of the storyline. They accomplish this about three minutes after meeting her, entirely by accident, and the rest of the film is them trying to serve her.

Minions / int_1b65dfad	comment	The Cameo: We get very brief (five seconds or less), non-speaking cameos from a young Gru, his mom Marlena, and Dr. Nefario at VillainCon. It's easy to miss because, unlike the present day (where Gru is bald and Marlena and Nefario are both white-haired), they all have brown hair here. Plus, Marlena's back is turned the entire time, as is Gru's for most of the time except when he briefly glances around and notices Kevin, Stuart, and Bob, who in turn don't notice him. Gru gets a speaking cameo at the end when he freezes Scarlet and Herb and steals the crown from them. He only gets two lines of dialogue and his signature evil giggle, but makes enough of an impression on the Minions that they decide to serve him from now on. As a result, Gru also shows up in the credits as he gets to know his new underlings. He doesn't actually speak in the credits, but he does get to do his giggle again at the end.

Later, the trio were actually sneaking into Scarlet's coronation to apologize to her and try to make up, but through a series of unfortunate events and their own bumbling, they accidentally drop a chandelier on her. She assumes that they tried to kill her, and the Minions don't get a chance to explain anything to her. It's a relief Gru can understand them.

The news broadcast is in colour. Although BBC2 had colour from 1967, it didn't have news; and BBC1 and ITV didn't have colour until 1969.

Presumably this plot point was hastily included so the writers could avoid having to explain why the Minions in the 1940s didn't end up working for Hitler. Them being Lethally Stupid dunderheads also softens the fact that they served historical evils, implicitly including guys like Caligula and Attila the Hun, or events like The Crusades and The Spanish Inquisition. And them being loyal to Gru is a convenient (though a Voodoo Shark if you think about it) excuse for why they haven't worked for Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, and/or the Kim dynasty after leaving the cave.

When Bob manages to get crowned King of England, she sees this as them screwing her over and still tries to kill them for this. Her penchant for disproportionate retribution also extends to her other employees: When her hairdresser mocks the drawing she made as a five-year-old, Scarlet blows him out of the palace with giant rockets.

The only time Herb shows a little actual malice, is when he's gleefully helping Scarlet to blow up Bob and Stuart, which may be because he legitimately thinks that the Minions tried to kill Scarlet with the chandelier earlier. Even then, in the ensuing battle, he just helps to hold Bob's bear while Scarlet does everything. That said, he only goofs around with them once he realizes that the torture isn't gonna work. The Nelsons as well. When we first meet them, they seem for all the world like a perfectly nice—if slightly quirky—and well-meaning American family...and then we find out that they actually rob banks together, and are on their way to VillainCon themselves. We also see that they're supportive and encouraging towards each other, and they are always completely nice to the Minions.

Justified, since they worked so hard to find a badass new boss and finally succeeded, so they didn't want to give up on Scarlet yet just because of a misunderstanding. However, it's finally played straight when Scarlet captures Stuart and Bob, threatens to kill them unless Kevin shows up by dawn, and then tries to blow them up. Then, when the other Minions show up and are initially excited to see their new "boss", she immediately tries to kill all of them. By that point, all the Minions seem to realize that they could find much better employment elsewhere.

Even when she gets dogpiled, she just throws them all off her.

They only knew about Villain-Con because they randomly picked up a secret news transmission meant only for villains, they only got there because the car they successfully stopped happened to be going there, and they only won the henchman job because Bob accidentally almost ate the ruby. What led to the three Minions discovering of the transmission itself is also a ridiculously huge coincidence in itself, between all three watching a dating show where a woman is being asked to pick between three men with the exact same, not even similar, names as them and their desperate attempt to get the TV working when it suddenly goes off, before she says her answer, leads to them discovering of the transmission.

Upon their arrival in US, the main trio sees a poster advertising Nixon, "Finally, a candidate you can trust!". Orlando looks like a shining city, but that's just a poster of future development. The city is actually just a vast swampland at the time (which is why Disney was able to buy so much land to make Disney World as big as they wanted, and other huge theme parks were built there).

Even ignoring that the current British government and the ruling family of the British monarchy are completely separate from whatever King Arthur and Camelot would qualify as, the United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy and a democracy besides, so some rando successfully pulling the Sword from the Stone wouldn't mean anything in any legal sense.

The personalities of the main three minions are based on those of Gru's daughters: Kevin is based on Margo. Stuart is based on Edith. Bob is based on Agnes. In the first film, one of the Minions holds up the crown of England and you can see how they got it in this film.
