A TV show would work better, IMO.

This reminds me: Blue Sky should do the really cool thing and produce a full length movie just featuring Scrat. No one needs to see another full Ice Age movie, but send the squirrel on an epic journey for his acorn and I'll buy a ticket. I promise.

With Puss in Boots already made, Madagascar's Penguins movie anounced and now this Minions spinoff, I can't see how Blue Sky won't anounce a Scrat spinoff.

[DAR]

I finally saw Despicable Me a few weeks ago, I was in tears from laughing so hard every time the Minions came on.

[Cedarpoint1111]

Weird to do a spin-off when the second one hasn't even come out yet. I wonder if the minions movie will take place between DM2 and DM3 or if it'll be a prequel.

[Impact]

As funny as they are....do you think there should be a film containing giberish the entire time?

This.

Yes. Yes I do actually

[MovieMan89]

I suppose this is what we get for Puss in Boots being a decent commercial hit. Now all the big animated series have to do their own spin offs. :unsure:Well Puss in Boots was actually better than the last two Shrek sequels so maybe the spin off thing isn't always so bad.

The only way I could see this idea as bold is if it was.

[JCS]

Not sure if some minions can hold up a whole 90 minute film...

[Talkie]

Damn! I was hoping this was about Megamind's minion. I loved that freaky fish/ape/bot.

That would be the brilliance of it. All gibberish. No subtitles. All visual entertainment.It was almost done back in the 80s with Ringo Starr's "Caveman"

[Impact]

Well them singing The Beach Boys was funny. But yeah really don't know how it would work for so long but it would be the only way it could happen....A TV show IMO be much better.

LOVE Caveman. Not-so-guilty pleasure.

[Hiccup]

This could be the best decision or the worst decision made by Universal. I personally am excited for this.

[Mayhem2x3]

They could probably have plenty of talking roles around them. Think Wall-E's second half.I assume this means no Gru or other DM characters. Nothing yet on if its a prequel or a sequel type spinoff?

[MagnetMan]

I don't know what it is about these characters, but there is something subliminally/aesthetically pleasing about their appearance. I'm sure someone with a better knowledge of psychology could deconstruct it, but the shape, texture, eye-placement... something just clicks on a very base level. They have a Nerf-like quality, too.The reaction I have when I see them reminds me of what I learned in college about wristwatch/clock advertisements: the analog hands of a watch or clock will almost always be ten minutes after ten. It's supposedly a subliminal image representing a smiley face. (A circle around a down-pointing arrow) And the smiley face icon subconsciously inspires good feelings.

[Mayhem2x3]

This. Should. HAPPEN!
