The conventional cartoon story arcs of self-realization and redemption are skipped, but any sacrifice in emotional resonance is compensated for by the pace and purity of the fun.Ī prelude traces the origins of the species as the yellow organisms evolve from silly, single-celled cheerleaders for nasty underwater predators to silly, jellybean-shaped cheerleaders for the T-Rex. In fact "Despicable Me 2" was funnier than its predecessor because it had "more minions", so putting the sidekicks center-stage in order to ramp up the laughs further made sense. Whenever things are getting a bit saccharine between the formerly dastardly Gru and his accidentally adopted girls, the Minions are there to spout gobbledygook, enact pratfalls, and generally lay on the comic relief. Minions, as you will know if you haven't recently awakened from a five-year coma, are the ill-defined, much-loved critters that enthusiastically serve the "Despicable Me" franchise's Gru. Thankfully, this spin off film takes the undifferentiated mass of fun and nonsense synonymous with these nearly identical yellow oval creatures, and successfully channels it into a pleasing movie shape. Could the Minions carry their own film especially after last year's disastrous "Penguins of Madagascar". The Minions' brightly colored brand of gibberish-fueled insanity stretches to feature length in their self-titled "Despicable Me" spin off, with uneven but often hilarious results.
