Trivia
Director Pierre Coffin voiced all 899 minions in this film.

Goofs
The ticket prices at the Tower of London were shown in decimal currency (and were too expensive for the time). The film is set in 1968, but the UK didn't adopt a decimal currency until 1971.

Quotes
Scarlett Overkill: Work for me, and all this will be yours: respect, power...
Stuart the Minion: Banana!
Scarlett Overkill: ...Banana!

Crazy credits
The Universal Pictures fanfare is sung by Minions. One of them holds a note until he loses his breath and passes out on the Illumination Entertainment title card.

Alternate versions
In the Netflix print, most signs, despite being in English, have closed captions that describe them, such as the cake for Count Dracula, New York, 1968, Tower of London, a Richard Nixon billboard, Herb's "letter" to Scarlet, the pub in England, the bank that the Nelsons rob (as well as their custom license plate), Villain Con tables, and the warnings on Scarlet's ultimate weapon, to name a few.

So fun and cute!

This animation tells the story of the minions trying to look for an evil master in order to keep up their morale. They find a villain called Scarlet Overkill, and the minions are tasked with stealing the crown from the Queen.

I saw the trailer and I thought the "Minions" was so cute. After watching the film, I thought it was even cuter than I expected! The plot is silly but fun. The minions are simple in design, and simple in their thoughts, but they manage to create the funniest situations. There are some jokes that made me laugh out loud, such as the usage of a teapot inside a police car. I also just realised that the minions are not talking unintelligible gibberish - it is actually a mix of languages, which I spotted Spanish, German, Mandarin and Bahasa. I enjoyed watching this animation, it is 90 minutes of brain-off entertainment.
