^ Not just kids, but adults as well, especially young adults.

lol This is why I heard Tagalog in one of DM II's promo clips before.

Minions are awesome.

 

Stuff  like this make people from 6 months to 60 years old laugh.

Whoa wait what??? Despicable Me 2 made $368 million?! I had no idea!

 

I finally saw the trailer for this in front of BH6. It was awesome (as was BH6!) I'm super in for this next year.

Until today, I was rather dubious on the idea of a Minions spin-off. They were good support characters, but I didn't think a movie focusing primarily on them could be more than kiddie entertainment.

 

Today, I saw the trailer.  Looks like they've found the right premise to make this a good one.

If you mean the premise of looking for a new master every time one goes extinct we knew this for over a year.

Although if you technically think about it, if the minions were to have served the "most despicable" master around that would have meant they would have served the likes of gheghis khan, Ivan the Terrible, hitler, Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong. But im sure we'll all disregard that thought right?

Finally saw the trailer at Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb

 

Yeah, these don't do much more for me.

That is why there are heroes and villains in the DM universe, and why Gru is shown to be so tough. Due to the genetic nature of despicableness, only the strong and despicable past on the despicable trait. Also due to the more peaceful nature of the world, despite some small issues like a german painter being accidently killed by some yellow people, the general police force is not as tough. This has allowed villains like Gru to flourish.

Due to minion clumsiness those who are not both durable and despicable don't last long.

Here are the first images of Minions' villainess, Scarlet Overkill. Voiced by Sandra Bullock.

The SB spot is really great. But I really look forward to what kind of the follow trailers they can offer. I mean, so far the trailers just show you how funny the minions can be, which they did a great job, but the following trailers have to show what kind of story they came up with and is it able to justify the fun part of minions. If the story is at DM1 leve we think we can expect the possibility of 400m.

Luv the minions!!!

Dat super bowl spot!

[Jandrew]

Oh my God. If this finishes 3rd for the year, dont be surprise. This is going to kill it in all demos. Hilarious, cute, looks better than DM2.

[CJohn]

I am thinking on 270-290M DOM right now.

Im thinking Nemo numbers or higher. Most people saw DM2 for the Minions (and Agnes), not Gru. Its not like Puss in Poots where Shrek was the main character, or Penguins where the zoo foursome was, the Minions are essentially the main characters of DM. And dat 4-quad appeal.

Ps put the trailer page in the title por favor.

Yup, this will be big. The biggest advantage Minions has over Penguins is that the brand hasn't been diluted by a TV show yet. The voice cast is impressive, Sandra Bullock sounds convincingly despicable 

 

Despicable Me 2 was basically sold on the Minions alone, this won't reach DM2 numbers, but should challenge 300M IMO.

Though I am really rooting for INSIDE OUT, it just doesn't stand a chance to win over this.
