Despicable Me was a huge success, but how did this weird movie set the stage for Illumination Entertainment to make the most loathed movies in animation? What are minions made of? And why is this the only good movie Illumination made?

You guys ever heard about Disney’s dinosaur from 2000
Yeah its production history was better
Sonic The Hedgehog (2020) is pretty good if you ignore the whole being stuck in a truck with James Marsden for an hour stuff
Do you want to explode?
Bee movie
You should review fairly odd parents chanel chasers
Fun Fact: if the Minions hadn't hidden in an ice cave, the series' logic all but confirms that the minions would have fought for Germany in WWII
With that out of the way, enjoy this GRUesome movie
or japan
or italy
Ice cave = cope
They just accidentally killed Hitler, took over the Nazis, and won WW2
Do you think that the minions would have formed the Confederacy if they made it to America in the 1800s
You have no idea what floodgates you've opened up by watching an Illumination movie, this rabbit hole goes WAY deeper than the minions.
The grinch would be perfect for these guys
Remember Hop?
@Mandrid Hugh your icon looks weird when I scroll through the comments
Need them to watch sing❤
Hop was insane, I really want them to watch it now
“Villains flex by stealing monuments, not by stealing money or anything”
*Because it’s the one thing you can’t replace*
I understood that reference
*why*
*why would you do this*
They stole nfts before it was cool
@@tylerhageman4430 i understood that reference
John Mulaney moment
So here's the thing. I believe the minions gave up on their purpose of following the most evil person when they met gru because gru treats them less like tools to meet an end and more like family. It's also stated in minions that the minions were frozen in an iceberg during world war 2. I mean not only does gru call each of the minions by a specific name, but he can tell them apart which means he's incredibly familiar with each and every one of them individually.
Film Theory actually did a recent theory about the minions, claiming that not only are they not stupid, which is actually true, now that I think about it, but they're also not evil. The theory states that every villian they came into contact with was brutally killed, except for Gru, because he turned good. Basically, their real purpose is to dispose of villians, which makes DM3 make sense a bit more, they wanted to move on to the next villian to either fix or kill.
Nah I prefer the OG origins of the minions being an intentional outcome from Gru and Nafario's experiment
13:39
I'm like hey, do minions have bones? And it's like BBLLAAHHH!
Released his inner demons
I’m like “HeYy!”
5:52 this is actually a really smart design. If you notice, it's the center urinal, meaning that nobody would choose the middle urinal unless they're a villain or a complete fucking psychopath
hehe, that's clever; you have to do something that, while mild, is still considered "evil" to get in!
Oh my god
smort
Makes me wonder if there’s an entrance through the women’s bathroom as well, and if so, what mild act of evil you have to commit to enter
Can someone explain it to me?
Fun fact about the movie: In the scene where Gru shrinks the moon, his Swan Lake ticket has a hidden reference to a real event. On the ticket, the serial number reads out 072069C, the date of the first moon landing, which inspired him to steal the moon.
Good catch wow
I don't think I would've known that. It's a nice little factoid I can share with others, now.
Nice.
didn't he want to steal the moon way before he got the ticket tho
@@yeet12937 the moon landing
That bank entrance is genius. Only a truly evil person would take the middle urinal.
That way two people have to hear the sloshes clearly rather than just one

I still think you should watch the 2009 Astro Boy movie. It's an interesting film and right up your alley, even if you're not familiar with the original source material. Also, he has machine guns in his butt (yes, that's canon).
I remember that movie

Yes👍🏽
I also loved that movie

The minions were supposed to be genetically modified corn. I’m not kidding.
Imagine minions on a cob just looking at you
Yeah, we're gonna go with that, the minions movie does not exist
I remember them being genetically modified creations of Gru from a short on the DVD for the first movie, but I guess the Minions movie retconned that.🤷♀️
I like the retcon. Having Minions exist for millions of years
According to the ride at universal studios the minions are people that gru mutated and enslaved. So it's pretty crazy that they have like 3 origins.
in the original concept for the second movie, I think they were supposed to be eggs or whatever that got zapped with some intelligence juice or something
The reason why Vector slouches is because he's been carrying the whole movie on his back
And the lack of proper lumbar support from his chair
OH YEAH!
I spat all over my phone lmaoooo
The girls too
He carried the movie and the *GOrls*
18:11 Why is that so funny?
The perfectly cut "Ahhhhh" at 18:13 ?
he turned into the moon
Who else just focused on the Kirby plush in the background 6:08
Fun fact: ignoring the retcon of the minions movie, it's pretty much implied in this film that the minions were made in gru's lab. Using corn cobs. I wish I were joking but at least it's better than imagining these things have been ruining lives since the beginning of time
In one of the scenes there are BLUEPRINTS FOR THE MINIONS in the background
Minion cloning
I genuinely never cared where they came from
The mystery made it funnier
I don't even see it as a retcon, I just see it as Gru finding out that minions still exist, then spending years figuring out how to make more
Corn kernels or actual cobs??
Because they look like one corn kernel
Fun fact! According to the Despicable Me handbook, Minions are actually convicted war criminals!
and according to the minion movie they served hitler
Pp
I’m sorry what the fuc
@@roux6715 They didn't, they lived in a cave after Napoleon until 1968 when the movie took place. I'm 99% sure that was specifically written to cover over that plot issue lol
@@sausagelynx bruh
Now that they've watched an Illumination movie, they HAVE to watch the new Mario movie. 🙃
They already watched the bad one so this will be fun
We have all seen the live action one which is shark tale bad we know the Mario movie is going to be alright.
19:18 😂😂😂 I freaking love that sound!
same
15:08 it's meant to be a reference to the Fortress of Solitude from Superman if you were wondering
I was thinking that as well thank you for comforiming it
I kinda wish "The Bank of EVIL" played a bigger role in the sequels. Because it's such a good idea. I mean Vector is gone so perhaps his Father could seek some Revenge on Gru? That would be awesome.
I get the feeling the Father is indifferent to his sons absence.
@@darkslayer1161 But what if he found out Gru is no longer a villain, and they bumped into each other by accident?
@@robbiewalker2831 that's one awkward conversation he's gonna have to have. Especially if the gorls are there
@@robbiewalker2831 yeah i mean like that would be interesting, unfortunately they dont brin GB n him back
This movie was amazing.
It was the guy who said "What if we produced a surplus of half-baked sequels because this made money?" that makes me mad.
Yeah I generally don't get the hate the original gets, like the over-consumerism is annoying, but the first movie's actually really lovable
The second one was pretty good
@@S.J.C._Entertainment the design of the purple minions was pretty cool
@@Koopkiris yea I really liked the concept of them too
@@drewseth_is_h yeah I think people hated Minions so much that they forgot this one was actually just a solid movie.
You skipped over the "looking good Kevin. How's the family, good?" line. Which implies the minions have separate lives and they can potentially procreate with humans or minion like entities.
The human minon 🤣😅😐
Procreate with HUMANS???!!!!???!?
Wouldn't that just be the Simpsons?
New theory the simpsons are an alternate future reality where minions fully integrated with humans and evolved into the simpsons
@@user-op6kt8pg9y Oh, no.
From looking at 6:50, maybe they’ll do G-Force one day. Or just every other movie ever it seems.
3:16 according to minion lore they were in a ice cave after they killed napoleon and the army chased them into it and they left way after then.
I am disappointed in myself in knowing that
i was gonna say that
The writers had to make an excuse for why they weren’t with hitler
Fun fact:
there's this old comic that included information about TV shows, movies, etc., and one of them included an interview with Dr. Nefario about how he MADE the Minions, with ingredients and everything (including bananas).
The Minions' true origin story was retconned and it greatly upsets me to this day.
Wait so if minions are made of bananas would that mean the minions are cannibals.
maybe the minions went extinct in the 70s after the incident with scarlet overkill, and nefario brought them back from extinction
@@greatape8019 but right after the incident they followed a kid gru to his home and wanted to serve him
@@HereJunemy theory is gru wanted to make more minions so he got dr nifario to make more minions.
@@gameswithpeachcord7498 they eat bananas to reproduce, once a minion has consumed enough banana matter it can use it to engage in mitosis
This movie was honestly really good! I liked the concepts behind 2 & 3 too, but they got covered by the Minionocalypse
Agreed
Nah, 2 was good too. It went downhill after minions
@@omegamecha7666 go back to playing Mario+Rabbids if you hate the Minions so much.
@@robbiewalker2831 you say that as if mario + rabbids is a bad game
@@omegamecha7666 Mario Plus Rabbids shows that it is possible to make something as annoyingly comic relief like the minions good except the Rabbids are even worse than the minions becuase of the fact that they cause the whole Rayman series to basically die.
Ngl, the villains trying to one-up each other by stealing famous artifacts and monuments would have been a better premise for this movie than what we actually got.
Yeah like more rivals and whatnot
Nah it's nice the way it is. The family moments was what made it so good. It makes you think "oh this is a villain movie, so bad!" Just for it to be a nostalgic, family bonding, emotional movie near the end.
18:02
Gonna go on a bit of a nerd ramble here so please put the stupid goofy song in while reading this.
Actually, it took the Apollo 11 mission only 3 days to get to the moon. And they would have gotten there even sooner had it been a flawless mission. And that was back in 1969. 2010, we would've been able to get there even quicker, possibly in like... 15 hours? I mean, Gru took like... 1 hour to get to the moon which is, yeah, a huge stretch. Even for today's standards.
There's no way to get to the moon faster than 3 days. Or at least not an energy efficient way, because technically it could've been done by just flying directly at the moon instead of using orbital mechanics, but it would require a really enormous rocket
Technically they were right about it not taking months and months
10:49 had me in tears 🤣🤣🤣

Edit: had the wrong timestamp
I rewatched the first two Despicable Me films recently after several years. Surprisingly I thought they both held up really well. I appreciate the first one for its sense of humor and its genuine heart. The second one did exactly what a sequel should do. It may have needed a rewrite or two to fix some pacing issues, but it was genuinely a good attempt and kept the spirit of the original.
I remember watching DM3 and Minions when they first came out. Maybe my opinion would change if I rewatched them now, but I remember thinking the third film felt like it had about half of an okay movie, and then threw a bunch of random stuff at the wall to fill in time for the other half. Minions was one of the most passable films I have ever seen. It showed up, gave us exactly what it promised, had a few genuinely clever jokes, then ended on a decent note.
“Do you want to explode?” Is definitely the best line in the movie
no it's more like this "DO you WANT to EXPLODE?!" he changes his tone significantly a few times during that line delivery
Fun fact: Gru is actually 14 feet tall it is (not stated directly) but implied by Illumination.
Source?
@@jamthebrave oh shit I watched a video a while ago by a guy scaling the despicable me universe to ours I’ll get back to you on that

I consider myself pretty hard to shock with edgy humor, but the "what were the minions doing in the 1940s?" Caught me so far off gaurd I nearly pissed myself laughing
“We only work for real villains silly”
!?
They accidentally fed their boss poison instead of beer
Helluva boss
the fact that you just said "edgy humor" means you aren't hard to shock by dark humor
Not gonna lie, it took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize that Vector just had the pyramid in his backyard. Literally, I was just watching the movie, and when I saw the clouds, it just... CLICKED.
Granted I was young when I first saw this movie, doesn't stop me from feeling like an idiot, though.
Same
Science fact: The radius the moon would have to be in order for it to turn into a black hole (The Schwarzschild Radius) is ~0.1 millimeters, meaning that the size of the moon that Gru made would be totally sustainable. There's no way in Hell he'd be able to move it because of conservation of mass or something, but y'know, cartoon logic. That and Gru is an absolutely MASSIVE lad at around 14 feet tall.

Ye-uh…..
I once sang the “I want candy” song while walking around a grocery store after watchin HOP in theaters and the butcher behind the counter asked me if I wanted Christmas candy.
You just described my entire childhood
All I remember from that movie was a rabbit getting absolutely folded in the end
"Is there, like, a *Villain Twitter™* where they make twitter spaces about like what they stole and like how you can get into being a villain?"
*"Yea it's called twitter"*
That bit with Vector getting rolled over by the Moon and freezing it there with that sound effect had me nearly choking on my water mid-drinking, it was too funny.
Thank you so much for that gag.
16:21 do you ever just *AHH*
2:52 “Yeah it’s called Twitter.” May our favorite bird mascot we know so well be returned to its former glory someday.
You know before the minion movie came out, everybody questioned exactly what was the minions, where do they come from etc. and I think that’s the reason why you guys think that this movie might be a little weird but not bad. But in my opinion before the minion movie came out, did it really matter where the minions came from? Why does Gru Have a very pointy nose? These sort of questions don’t need to be exactly answered, you just go with the flow and somehow it works..
Also the way that the bank makes its money, is that they sell their villainist things, too very secretive other villains. Which is shown in the minion movie
So the stolen stuff basically become NFTs?
@@adamchmielewski6162 shut up about nfts. Nfts arent real, regardless what world thats real or not. In despicable me, you can seel real things

You guys should do some of the early 2000s pet movies like "Cats vs Dogs" or something. Those really do not hold up well. I would say the air bud movies too, but those are kind of just for kids anyways, not necessarily bad, I would say. Just "content" for kids.
The air bud movies were good/decent up until air buddies got milked to hell and got worse with each new release

As soon as Jude started talking about the Boxes Of Shame... It just made me think of the Shame Jail that young Jude had on his Minecraft server that Jude and Brendan reacted too some time ago. 🤣
What’s funny is that the Minions movie retconned the origin of the minions. There was actually a short that Illumination made that said that they were all cloned from a mutated strain of Gru’s DNA. Though I guess that short was a DVD extra so I see why they retconned it.

The Schwarzchild radius of the moon is actually about 0.1 millimeters, so it'd have to be shrunk to a much smaller size than in the movie in order to collapse in on itself and turn into a black hole.
On the other hand, I'm assuming that the shrink ray not only shrinks objects, but also shrinks the atoms making up the object as well, since it doesn't seem to get rid of mass; plus, once shrunk, the object weighs a lot less than it does in its full size. So if the moon were to be shrunk in that way, it would have about the same density as normal, since the matter making up the moon has also decreased in size in the same proportion; and since the density is the same, it wouldn't turn into a black hole.
I love this so much

No, even shrinking the earth to that size wouldn't create a black hole
Indeed, the earth's would have to be .8 cms to me a black hole
When I first saw the teaser, I thought it was very funny. How can you survive so much? I think it lost its point when it had a group of kids wanting to attack Gru. I thought the second movie was decent. Too bad it's not very appreciated.
The first movie is an 8/10.
The second is a 7/10.
And the third is an actual 1/10.
5:42 - They are actually Quadrilaterals, which is a closed shape with four sides.
That includes everything from the square, to the rectangle, the parallelogram, the rhombus, the kite(look it up, it’s a thing) the trapezoid, the trapezium, et cetera.
Here’s the thing: In the original film and a few shorts, it’s implied that Gru and Nefario made the minions. Like, that they’re genetically engineered. And I’m not sure at what point that changed. I’m very confused.
He found the original minions, but they can't reproduce since canonically there are no female minions, so he had to make more, there's a blueprint for a minion in the background in one scene
