We’ve decided to take a closer look at the minions, and here’s the who’s who list: Dave For the record, the minions are voiced by two people – Chris Renaud and Pierre Coffin. They also have a few foes – Vector, Eduardo, and the evil minions, to name but a few.
The minions themselves have many friends – Gru, for example, but also Margo, Edith, Agnes, and Dr.
It seems like their lingo doesn’t make a lot of sense, but in each country that the movie is released, the motion voices are dubbed, making it easier for the viewers in that country to understand them too.
He also understands their language – Minionese – made up of a number of others, including English, Italian, Spanish, French, Hindi, and even Bahasa Indonesian. He certainly appreciates the hard work they put in for him, masterminding plots to take over the world and other such evil-ry, and unlike many of us, he knows each of them by name. Gru, the evil mastermind in the movies, is one of the first villains in a movie to actually adore his little henchmen sidekicks. And their costumes too – those boiler suits / overalls and goggles certainly make for an interesting get-up. From the first movie, right up until now, they fast became a much-loved movie character, causing viewers all over the world to laugh along with their hilarious antics. They have very little to zero self control, they’re very naive and innocent, and they’re also very endearing. “So what we’re exploring now is, what does that look like years later, when all the history has built up?”ĭespicable Me 3 will be released on May 24.Shaped like Tic-Tacs, they can have either one or two eyes, and they’re creatures that are known for being rather mischievous. And since they’ve ended up destroying every boss they’ve had, part of what makes Gru the chosen one is that he’s able to survive them.
“But they just think they have it in their DNA to go and be villains. “The first value we learned in Minions is that they want to follow a big boss and do crimes, but the thing that’s always ironic is that there’s nothing inherently evil about the Minions,” Balda said. The tension between Gru and Mel will be a heavy focus of the film, Balda added. Balda described Mel as the first evil Minion, who believes in his fellow yellow-beings and their capability to be enact evil acts on their own without the supervision of Gru. Without Stewart, Bob and Kevin, it will be up to Mel to take charge of the Minion situation in the film. “Are they still doing their own thing? Or are they here with Gru and the other Minions? Or, like, is Bob an adult now? We didn’t want to bring that out into the open too much and start to continue a storyline with characters that we hadn’t seen set up earlier.” “Really, our feeling is that we haven’t seen Kevin, Stuart, and Bob specifically in Despicable Me 1 or 2 anyway, and we wanted to be faithful to the timeline,” co-director Kyle Balda said. The trio’s disappearance will help set up the second installment in their own franchise, which is due out in 2020. This explains why they’re barely in the first trailer and why their involvement in the movie hasn’t been discussed as much as previous films. Bob, Kevin and Stuart won’t be a part of Despicable Me 3. The addition of Mel may come as a welcome surprise for fans of the Minion characters, but there is a downside, too. They want fair wages for the hours they’re putting in to help Gru take over the world. To put it less dramatically, the Minions have unionized. Based on a report from Entertainment Weekly, Mel will lead the uprising of Minions against Gru and fight for their freedom. Unlike the three main Minions who hang around Gru (Steve Carell) and help him execute his evil plans, Mel isn't a fan of the Minions' forced labor situation. In an effort to make turn haters into adoring fans of the small, yellow, incoherent creatures, Universal Pictures is introducing a new Minion: Mel. Depending on who you ask, Minions are either the best or worst part of the Despicable Me franchise.
