You're basically looking for Studio Laika's output imo

I think kids and adults alike should be allowed to have entertainment that is designed for fun, not to challenge them. I see this kinda mindset in the fanfic community alot. People seem to think that there always needs to be a higher level for things to have value. Yes, there should be movies directed at kids that challenge them. Having kids learn through media is important, but I just also think sometimes it's ok to have a movie night where you eat popcorn and laugh at stupid humor and play. Play is so important for all ages. I hate that society thinks play is something childish that needs to be outgrown when time and time again it's proven to releave stress and make people happy. There's more to life than productivity. It's ok to relax and have fun in a way that's not designed to challenge you. Just, mix it in with the other stuff so it's not all you're getting.

I mean there are plenty of options out there, from new to old. Honestly it’s not worth worrying about what other children enjoy watching. Just worry about your tastes and maybe your own kids (not trying to be rude nor mean). I’m just saying it’s not worth the stress, don’t even bother watching the movie and don’t show them to your own kids. That’s what I do with my own students. Also if the movie is boring or just very crappy they usually loose interest anyways. Also I just straight up tell them. “Eh it’s a boring movie it’s not going be fun, or I don’t have it” lol

@@foxinasweater2300 It's ironic that previously the idea was that parents trusted television to raise their kids, but now it seems people don't trust parents to do that, which is why they rely so much on tv to do that.

Agreed. That’s why whenever I buy my sister video games, I never buy her “kids games”, I always buy her things like Undertale, Final Fantasy 2, Earthbound, Clock Tower, Chrono Trigger, Outlast, etc. the type of thought provoking shit that made me the writing genius I am today.

agreed -- definitely a missed opportunity. A bit like the first minions, a lot of this film felt so safe and undeveloped. There's so much to explore with this character.

Indeed. And it's something Illumination could have easily accomplished while still playing it safe with the humor and general Minions antics.

I mean the movie was serviceable, it was honestly pretty wholesome and fun. The Illumination animation style always looks good, and seeing all the references to past minions films and overall pop culture was a bonus. It’s a 6/10 for me and it honestly is just a fun movie.

I don’t think most kids care about a gru sitcom

that's what rise of gru was for

For real, that song slaps so much harder than how bad can I be

Illumination also definately has the Budget to make really good movies, but they Just don't

Like the Mario movie

@Ahmed Malaki I don't understand how you could miss the point of the episode that bad.

That is the real reason why I skipped this movie. The executives at Illumination only care about themselves.

They probably didn't. People just became numb to them at this point.

@@numbuh1507 They've accepted that it's a silly thing for kids thing, and they took it every way down to Sunday

Show them less. And let them be, well, minions. They're not made to be main characters-

@@aldranzam3456 As for Rise of Gru: Can be simple, the medallion is what gives this league of super villains power, a common cause for world conquest. They likely stole it from a musem after learning about it's untapped power. And due to a power vaccum caused by the Minions in the previosu film, it's what allowed them to have full control over their territories. No need to monologue here as a lot info can be missed when not simply paying attention.

Its because of constant bombardment of PR and Advertisement, oh and we’ve all collectively lost our minds.

The majority within your circle perhaps, but they've never NOT been marketable. People younger than you like them, their parent tolerate them, and their grandparents love them. Its just now, they've been 'in fashion' so long the more critical people who hated them at least enjoy them ironically, such is the paradox of being in a world that's perpetually post modern.

I still fuckin hate them.

@Super Succubi it's funny because Despicable Me was a genuinely great movie with great characters and a great message but the major takeaway was "minion funny"

You are completely right. You should never be afraid of voicing your opinion if it can improve the quality of something.

I always like to make the argument of: Will kids remember this like we remember our movies? And I really don't think they will. Shrek, Toy Story, How To Train Your Dragon, etc. They are movies that stick with people for a long ass time because they stood out to them, and were original. To the point that many still watch them again as adults. However I highly doubt anyone's going to watch Minions: The Rise of Gru, or Sing, with their mates in ten or twenty years time, with that being the movie they remember loving as a kid. I'd even go beyond kids animation and point to some of the newer Starwars and MCU movies. Will they be remembered over time? And the answer is usually no. They're safe. They go for basic entertainment. But that kind of stuff doesn't stick with people. Honestly it's kind of mindless.

@@pagatryx5451 I'd have to disagree to a certain point - sure they might not be a cultural milestone for a wide audience in the future, but a lot of people have An Obscure Cartoon they watched as a kid on repeat. So yeah, they may not have a broad appeal, but still have a fond place in nostalgia. and I'm sure not many people "gather with their mates" to watch The Little Mermaid either way, so, eh. It's a specific ecological niche, but it's a niche.

@@pagatryx5451 I agree. It's so good when you look back at your childhood movies and share it whith the next generation. But I think most people would rather see Lion king in their memories than something like Renny the fox or Hop. These kind of movies usually fade away because no one would be proud of watching them. Sometimes they can have a small following that like it because it's nostalgic for them, but that's not much.

@@helenakri7282 The little mermaid is one of the most popular Disney movies. How is it the same?

To be honest EVERYONE are better written characters than Minions, yet Minions have the most screen time.

The cameo may be great but makes absolutely no sense. Gru is over fifty in despicable me and Vector is around twenty. In this movie Gru is just about eleven years old. So technically Vector isn't even born yet

@@JameiParodies get vectored

@@JameiParodies I was thinking the exact same thing. But… it’s a minions movie, can’t say I was expecting much sense

@HotAnimeBabe99541 I literally noticed that also! In the first movie, you see a blue print in the background that says: “minion plans” and it literally shows the minions were robotically made by Gru. That explains why I wasn’t expecting that much sense in the new movie. And that would also explain why Otto and Bob aren’t present in the original films.

@@theobrianbros1168 I like to believe that Gru multiplied the minions by making robot replicas of them, which explains why you can see more in the original film than this movie.

@@karimi8467 I'm referencing an inside joke a group of pals of mine.

2 bots within 30 mins is impressive

Yeah that's my issue with them. They took one risk but instead of following up on it and made a diverse catalogue of animated films, they stood in that one place and kept tuning out the same formula for their movies

That's exactly my fear with the Mario movie, if they decide to do more of the same they've been doing for a long time, I have the feeling Nintendo will get harsher than they've been lately, I just hope they actually decide to give a sh and make a good movie once again

The positive thing I can say about Illumination they do make safe movies and sequels. There not offensively awful like the animated titanic movies. Or depressing bad like Ice age 6 there movies just exist.

It pains me how Illumination had a really good original pitch for Lorax 2012, but because of marketing, (the antagonistic idea of the movie) all of the good stuff was watered down of cut off entirely, and that sucks.

In what way did Land Before Time or Shrek push the envelope?

@@BJGvideos Land Before Time pushed boundaries on how dark animation directed for children could go, darker than even disney, and Shrek introduced modern culture, parody and soundtrack-based animation as well as popularizing CGI. Also it was the first winner of the Best animated feature award

@@keeranchang6485 Idk I'm pretty sure Land Before Time wasn't any darker than a lot of other movies. And Shrek wasn't the first kids movie to have pop culture.

yeah, I definitely agree that illumination was playing it safe with this film

Animation films that play safe are fine. But I am more intrigued on animations movies that pushed the boundaries. Like in Sea Beast. Where the animators are not even afraid to show blood on a kids movie (i think) and, I forgot the girl's name, she grabs a dagger and almost stab Captain Crow and I was like "Ok now this is getting interesting." I'm not saying I'm into violence but I am interested and intrigued on animated kids movies or not animated kids movies pushing the boundaries.

Ah yes, the gru redemption ark. A classic.

And then he grud all over the place

The best part is when the minions say "it's morbin time" that was one of the movie moments of all time

@@antk8493 Fellas, It's despicable time

People tend to say that Dreamworks has lost their touch over the years, and while I’m somewhat inclined to agree, they’re still fully capable of making good or great movies these days as seen by HTTYD 3 and more recently Bad Guys

I freaking love the kung fu panda series.

Even those films try to break the mold somewhat, far more than anything the Despicable Me franchise adds to the table, that is for certain. Trolls has a creative handcraft art style for example.

Shrek as well

Home, I understand, but Trolls? Screw that, I'm not watching a movie that feels like a nothing story akin to Mamma Mia.

exactly! personally I had some critiques of this film and stated them (I make content, if you're confused), but I'd never make fun of someone for liking something unless it was a friend and they knew I was just having a joke with them. This comment should have more likes.

except the first minion movie already answered that...

Pfft, you clearly don’t know the Minions lore, they were in a ice cave serving a yeti until the 60’s. The real question is who were they serving in 2001…

@@KaytheWooper The Minions were serving Justin Timberlake in 2001 obviously who else would they be serving? Let’s hurry up and move onto the next question please!!!

It is a widely debated subject in the Despicable Me community that the Minions served Hitler between 1933 to 1945, with some claiming that such events could not have taken place given that the Minions were trapped in an ice cave for a long duration of time. However, some evidence in the Despicable Me universe points toward a possibility that the Minions not only served Hitler and Stalin, but engaged in a brutal civil war that nearly wiped out the species as a whole. **Evidence No. 1:** The Minions trapped in the ice cave are NOT the only Minions in the world. **Proof:** In the Despicable Me and Minions films, we see the Minions interacting with Human society on a rather normal scale. Whether it be going on vacation, joining the French Military, hitch hiking to the villainy convention, wandering through TV studios, getting ice cream and going out in public no one seems to bat an eye to the existence of the Minions. Given that the Minions have been around before the Dinosaurs, its not impossible to assume that there were millions, if not billions of Minions alive on earth given the time they had to spread across the globe. Some possible evidence that there were millions to billions of Minions is how little people react to them in society. No one seems to bat an eye to the Minions, implying they've been abundant and around long enough to be completely normalized by Human society. In fact the Minions may have well been completely integrated into human society instead of being viewed as a different species. In our universe, if a few hundred 3 foot half naked lemon Tic-Tacs speaking gibberish appeared in the middle of Times Square, not only would people immediately bat an eye, but all of the nation's three letter organizations would be swiftly mobilized to New York. This isn't the case in the Despicable Me universe. **Evidence No. 2:** The Minion species, while very resilient, is NOT immortal due to a severe weakness to biological and chemical attacks. **Proof:** In the starting paragraph, I mention that the Minions nearly went extinct from a brutal Minion Civil War. While this point may be contradicted by the Minions being able to survive explosions, torture devices, bullets, kinetic impact and many other lethal threats, the Minions are not very resilient to biological and chemical attacks. In Despicable Me 2, we see the Minions become mutated by the PX-41 Mutagen. Rapidly altering the effected Minion's DNA and causing drastic changes regarding: * Tooth and mouth structure * Abnormal hair growth * Eye color * Skin pigment * Physical structure * Personality and behavior Later in Despicable Me 2, we see Dr. Nefario cure the Minions using an antidote mixed with the Jelly from earlier in the film. The PX-41 Mutagen, and its respective cure are solid evidence that the Minions are not entirely immortal and possess a severe and potentially lethal vulnerability to biological and chemical attacks. While some may argue that the PX-41 Mutagen and its antidote did not kill the Minions, a disease or toxic gas could prove fatal showing they can be drastically effected by chemical and biological substances. **Evidence No. 3**: Stalin and Hitler both attracted Minions in large quantities to both sides of the Eastern Front, which would result in the gruesome Minion Civil War. **Proof:** Stalin and Hitler were both evil tyrants who would be seen as nothing more than soulless monsters to any human, but for the Minions, saying they were gods amongst Minion would be an understatement. With Stalin's gulags and Hitler's concentration camps, the two of them would be the greatest villians Minion kind had witnessed. With World War 2 beginning in the 1930s, the Minions suffered a brutal split in their society and culture, now voluntarily choosing sides of the Second World War between the two tyrants of the Eastern Front. Because of this, the Minions would engage in a brutal war to end the disagreement of whether Stalin or Hitler would be more deserving of Minion service and worship. Given their vulnerability to chemical agents, both Human and Minion soldiers of the Eastern Front would release chemical agents such as Chlorine, Phosgene and Mustard Gas across the front lines to attack the other side's Minion forces. Given the sheer bloodiness of the Eastern Front, its likely that the majority of the Minions would be killed in the Second World War. Only a few isolated pockets of Minions would survive following the Second World War, with a primary example being the Minions in the ice cave, having emerged following the World Wars with no knowledge of Stalin Or Hitler and the near extinction of their race. Evidence of a Minion Civil War occurring and being possible can be found at the end of Despicable Me 3, in which a sizable chunk of Gru's Minions defect to Dru, having deemed Dru more evil and more worth their service, along with the remaining chunk of Minions choosing to remain with Gru. **Closure**: It is unclear what happens after Gru gives chase to Dru at the end of Despicable Me 3, however it can be safely assumed that Despicable Me 4 will cover the complete extinction of the last remaining Minions as they battle it out through various means of chemical warfare over whether Gru or Dru is more evil. Despicable Me 5 will potentially cover Dru and Gru putting their differences aside from their battle in Despicable Me 4 and the two will begin tampering in the realm of genetic engineering in an attempt to revive the Minion species. However the Minions created via Gru and Dru's genetic engineering research would go wrong, and the new Minions would resemble the Post-Humans from All Tomorrows. Leaked script details suggest that the Post-Minions would follow Kevin becoming a female Temptor, Bob getting turned into a Colonial and Stuart being morphed into a Hedonist. It is currently unknown what other All Tomorrows species will appear in the 5th Despicable Me film. Overall, It is very likely that the minions did serve Hitler to some capacity, and nearly went extinct following World War 2. The tale of the Minion is nothing short but a tragic one. A culturally rich and intelligent race, which had been around before the Dinosaurs, choosing the path of annihilating themselves over two questions with no answer. Today they are a reminder, that Humanity must avoid the same fate as their Minion brothers. The Minions of the World Wars are to today's Humans as a grim teaching, telling us we must be careful with how we treat the choices of conflict and geopolitics, otherwise, we will hear the rhymes of the history books once more. **Works Cited**: 1.
