Storyline
The story of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment's Minions begins at the dawn of time. Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters - from T. rex to Napoleon - the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression. But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he - alongside teen-age rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob - ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow. The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Academy Award winner Sandra Bullock), the world's first supervillainess ever. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in modern London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind...from annihilation. Featuring a sound-track of hit music ...User Reviews
Perhaps I am not as
jaded as so many reviewers or even just viewers are...not yawning at the
fantastic animation in Minions, the brilliant use of allusions and
satire side by side with slapstick and so many side bits. I really have
to believe that those who didn't like this movie simply didn't have the
knowledge or the media/social historical savvy to GET all the stuff
crammed into this wonderfully delightful film. It's possible that the
50+ crowd would embrace this film faster and more readily than the 30-40
something crowd who actually have little ones who would just love the
basic silliness. I wanted to stop action constantly...hey, wait, did I
see Brezhnev AND Nixon in those front rows at the villancon!? I simply
will have to get my own copy and enjoy the details at home. Loved that
Queenie was having a jolly pub crawl on leave as it were. The Corgy has a
short tail by the way chaps, and our English sterling wasn't
decimalised until 1970 but why quibble over little things like that? So
grandparents? Grab a kid and see this! You won't regret it!
