[@King-lb4pi]

You might not like the third one. But check out Sing 1 & 2. They’re pretty good!

[@jamesbuchananbarnesss]

DM2 is the best one by far

[@user-tj8qj4mx7d]

Kingsman

[@thedarkknight2221]

I don’t care what anyone says, the minions are freaking hilarious. And the fact that the DIRECTOR OF THE MOVIE is the voice of all of them is amazing.

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

Yeah, they are the best!

[@alecopedia5744]

YES! That's what I've been saying for so long!

[@3r1kofficial]

Weren’t there two directors that both did the voices? If not, I remember it being the director and another crew member. Maybe I’m mistaken.

[@thedarkknight2221]

@@3r1kofficial nope, it’s Pierre Coffin.

[@shanerose7204]

Actually Jemaine Clement plays the minion Jerry (the one who goes “Whaaaaaaaaaat?!”)😂

[@CiaoKnives]

It’s unfortunate that people hate the franchise now because of everyday life being over saturated by the Minions. Because genuinely, the first film is really fun and pleasant to watch.

[@prime_1577]

The trilogy honestly ain’t even bad Love the first one 2nd one is decent And I found the 3rd one pretty funny

[@MazzyGG]

WHAT WHY HATE, HOW COULD U NOT LOVE MINIONS, THEY ARE FREAKING ADORABLE AND HILARIOUS, HUH. I DONT MEAN U I JUST MEAN AS IN JUST HATERS, I AM NOT CALLING U A HATER.

[@Itszaden_]

I love the movies but I hate minions if that makes sense, in the movies they are adorable, the minions movie isn’t for me it’s too much but it was fun to see it once. But i do love the original movie just other than that I think the minions are annoying

[@juliabp6057]

@@prime_1577the second is better than the first in my opinion

[@user-op6kt8pg9y]

3rd one was pretty bad, 1 is great, 2 is good, 3 was completely unnecessary and where they just went off the rails ​@@prime_1577

[@DanGamingFan2846]

Such a great film. The first two Despicable Me was a breath of fresh air, absolutely hilarious, fun and fresh, and the film that shot Illumination to the animated studios upper rank. Sure, most of their films after would be mediocre at best, but their first try, is an absolute gem.

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

The Minon language is actually a combintion where every other word is a word from a different language. That's why you sometimes hear Spanish, English, tagalog, french. german...etc.

[@joshuagorski9452]

I only understand English, French, and Spanish so everything else just sounds like gibberish to me

[@Kevinn679]

Yeah their language is actually called Minionese.

[@kaleyrose47]

The fact that Julie Andrews voices Gru’s mom is ICONIC. What a legend! ❤

[@davidhmmm]

the fact that Tara hasn’t seen this until now is kinda scary. I think that Despicable Me 2 is pretty great but 3 not so much. The first Minions film isn’t that amazing but the Rise of Gru is so much fun and it was a blast watching it in theaters w a packed crowd of loads of teens my age 😂

[@cinematicgoodness7325]

Rewatching this film years later, immediately hit with just how damn sweet and nostalgic it all is. Saw this film when it was in theaters back when I was (possibly) in 4th grade. Ahhh memories.

[@sophiaisabelle0227]

Despicable Me is a great film. Seems like all of you had a great time watching it.

[@travistaylor2980]

Yeah, it was in 3D when it came out. And the 3D wasn't that bad. The amusement park roller coaster scene was great. And the scene when Gru's ship comes to a stop as he's trying to get to recital really got me. I remember distinctly moving my head as I felt it coming right for my eye.

[@crystalpistey-lyhne3406]

I❤ This Movie Series!

[@mimic1984]

It's insane how fast minions took over.

[@Ladmia]

I remember the reason we saw this movie in theaters. It came out the same time as Inception and that showing was sold out when we got to the theater so we decided to see this movie. So many adults were in there and all of us were crying by the end. This movie came out of nowhere and just worked.

[@dannydashtv9418]

Also Tara’s RING THAT BEEEEEEEEEELL now plays rent free in my head at least once a day and I am not upset about it lmao😂

[@Khiara]

bye i never knew how sad this was as a child- im literally crying now 💀😭✋

[@user-we4yd6df4w]

I can’t believe I never realized how dark that whole spiked coffin joke was.

[@de606returns6]

This along with Megamind are two movies me and my nephews love to watch, and I can respectively never get tired of either of them

[@prolegend10000]

You have to admit Nefario just wanted to help Gru forefill his dream.

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

This series is one of those you either totally love or totally hate. Mainly because of the minon fever and advertising done for years on end. I personally LOVE the minions. To some degree they make the series.

[@JordanCesaroni93]

When an actor has just hit a career low -- as I think Steve Carell did in the desperate Dinner for Schmucks -- it's a relief to see him bounce back with a performance that clicks, in a hit film that really needs his service.

[@josh_miester_x511]

Vector is very memorable to me. I'll never forget his "OH YEEAAAH!" Lol.

[@jacobbondurant7186]

Such an iconic movie, and for good reason.❤ 40:34 Also, this part is the Minions breaking the 4th wall, playing with the movie's 3D effects.

[@kirstengilroy302]

Tara is my favourite Reel rejects extra, she’s funny, intelligent and fits in just as successfully alongside John, Greg and Andrew G. She is a huge asset to the channel ❤❤

[@DarthPoyner]

She's like the pothead that cannot sleep with her squinty, underbag eyes. And all of her laughs remind me of bad Seth Rogan Characters.

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

Oh wow, this is such a nostalgic childhood movie for me! I just turned 21 so seeing this brought me back. I love the minion characters but I especially have a fondness for this original movie with Gru snd the rest!

[@Rashmars_]

The fact that both Alba's are now expanding their respective reaction channels and introducing various guests and reactors is weird but very welcome. The Alba Reaction Universe is certainly growing.

[@TheCosmic_Eddie]

Just like Greg I completely didn't realize how much emotion this movie had when I first watched it, Although I was like 10 yrs old when it came out. I'm really happy they did this reaction.

[@makaylahaverluk667]

I think I love Vector's character so much because I'm a huge nerd and so is he. I mean he names himself after a mathematical term which is just iconic.

[@CarlosD7]

I watched this movie hundreds of times but never made me cry. But seeing Greg tearing up made me cry 😂

[@nicktechnubyte1184]

I sit on the toilet WAIT WHAT?! Gets me every time!

[@joshuagorski9452]

The recorded message and rules scenes crack the SH*T outta me!!! (Also, I used to do Gru’s BEEP to annoy the heck outta my 🐶)

[@geririvera9279]

When this came out we were foster parents and our social worker advised us not to watch it because the giving the kids back scene can be triggering for the kids. We adopted them years ago so now watching this as they’re much older I appreciate her warning. It’s an adorable movie but we didn’t want the kids to know that was even an option…

[@MrMangoEdits]

Omg you guys have never seen this? This is a certified illumination classic 🔥🔥

[@lillyrose_626]

Gru was the og vibey villain this movie came out when I was 4 I still can’t believe it

[@justaemptymall]

The minion credit scene is confusing, because in the cinema it was 3D and they wanted to show that the minions tried to reach the audience by trying to build all the way over ^^ It was funny when i was a child. Lol.

[@nugget3687]

I just realized, part of why gru wants to steal the moon is because he wants to accomplish something he was never able to do as a child, make his mom proud. This movie really is all about parenting lol

[@Prime_Engram]

38:32 the way his face changed 🤣

[@drakke125Channel]

7:40 Normal people: OMG POOR ELEPHANT! Shrunk tiny sized elephant: HOLY CRAP LOOK AT THESE HUGE BANANAS!!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[@TheRealZOLO1]

I haven't seen this movie in a long time, watching this with you guys has brought me back to when I was younger 😂

[@saltstation401]

There was a deleted scene when gru called dr nefario after he got his butt kicked by vectors fortress where the kid who got the balloon popped in his face comes back to beat gru up as he is in the hole

[@FarmHandJoe]

Pause at 25:30. There is a blueprint to build a minion, but in Minions (2015) they were shown to be creatures that evolved before they met Gru.

[@claritycrystal8742]

So... a continuity error?

[@twist58]

This is THE movie that helped put Illumination Entertainment on the map alongside the other big name CGI animation studios! Despicable Me remains a classic!

[@ShavayD]

I was about to be like "HOW have you not seen Despicable Me, Greg??" Then I watched the first 30 seconds...

[@oldschoolny]

One of my top three animated films of all time. I loooooove this movie.

[@DanReyesB]

My head canon is that this movie takes place in the same universe as Austin Powers. Dr Evil would fit like a glove between all this villains

[@dannydashtv9418]

Despicable… just Despicable

[@joewillsart]

*LOL* Tara was SUPER Extra this episode. Hilarious. More of you two. Kind of refreshing seeing GREG play the straight man in the comedy duo. Usually he's the EXTRA one and John is the straight man. Nice change up! love you guys! Great vid!

[@colettebezio1913]

This movie was in 3D, so the shorts at the end where they're measuring were just sort of playing with the dimensionality.

[@Elysia63]

21:49 That joke never gets old! 🤣🤣🤣

[@gatokawaii3996]

36:42 Even tho unicorn destroyed the book, he still find a way to show that he loved those three little kittens

[@norse_wolf5614]

You compliment the animationstyle of this movie, right? Well, dont forget, its the same people who made the Super Mario movie, 13yrs after this oddly amazing movie

[@kitchenmom]

I remember taking my kids and my mother to the cinema, and we all had the best time. We love all the minion movies. So much fun.

[@mikeydeangelis6049]

Every line on script for the minions could be: “Mindless chattering and jibberish”

[@joeysmith5715]

This duo!!!!! I have the best time cackling when these two get together for a reaction

[@dannydashtv9418]

37:21 there’s no holes in the rest of the pages of the book how did he stick his nose through?!?!?!?

[@ItsAMiiCurrenOfficial]

Can we all agree the Vector is the best villain in all of the Despicable Me franchise?

[@bitchenboutique6953]

OH YEAH! 😂

[@chloenieuwsma4846]

He's funny but El Macho is the 👌 best. Fight me

[@ItsAMiiCurrenOfficial]

@@chloenieuwsma4846 I may be hated for this but I’ve only seen the first movie. I know the other villains of course but since I haven’t watched the rest of them, can’t really have an opinion on them.

[@giorgimamalashvili4220]

Watching this video while NOT sitting in the toilet makes me a little...despicable.

[@saltymisfit6566]

I know it's just an animated film but there were several moments where it absolutely ramped up my anxiety like that scene where Margo is hanging on to the cable between the two ships

[@JD-hi9st]

Tara's _ring that bell_ jingle is the only thing in my time on KZbin that has ever made me actually ring the bell.

[@mikeslife2916]

That gru "I Love You" Scene was an all time tear jerker for me for sure.

[@anomalyg]

Loved watching you both enjoy this film. They are all incredibly touching and hilarious! AGNES IS JUST ADORABLE!!

[@poe_more_please]

This is Tara's channel now; and we're in her world

[@thenerdywave2007]

Great Reaction Greg and Tara! This movie is such a great and fun time! 👍

[@chloeburrescia9001]

21:47 This part is still a knee slapper😂😂🚽

[@marvel_media]

Vectors shark always scared me as a kid

[@thesilverbaby4880]

Oh man these movies ran through my high school &’ freshman year🤣🤣 those damn Minions were everywhere 😭

[@LenaDee666]

I watched the movies fairly recently for the first time. I put a lot of energy into avoiding it for years just because the minions were everywhere and I don't deal well with super-hyped stuff😅But watching everything like 10 years late made me totally love the franchise, the way I started to relate to the girls cause it felt like they show different parts of my personality (the unicorn loving metalhead whose looking out for friends and family)

[@force9446]

Dont be embarrassed for crying at the end, I was crying the whole time 😂

[@gatokawaii3996]

40:33 Thank you for leaving this bit for us in KZbin. Not many do that

[@MUGTOWN4LIFE]

She killed that intro😂

[@alexpainter4169]

As a long-time fan of The Big Bang Theory, I have always thought that if Howard became a super villain, he'd pretty much be Vector.

[@joshuagorski9452]

“GOT YOU IN OUR SIGHTS!!! Like taking candy from a… WHAT!!!???”

[@Josh_DPInfinity]

I’m so here for a full despicable me-verse reaction, I’m a fan of all the movies, they’re all funny/cute, not as memorable as this one, but enjoyable. Great reaction yall!

[@heavycritic9554]

Pierre Coffin, voice of the Minions, is the French co-director of the first four movies in the Despicable Me franchise.

[@horrorclips7629]

Very missed under the radar for one of vectors jokes to be “hey Gru, size matters”

[@cyber-thundr_]

Before kids were going crazy with the Minions whenever a movie with Minions comes out, when Despicable Me first came out, kids were going crazy to see it because it stars Miranda Cosgrove from ICarly as Margo. 👌

[@jesuisthanos5220]

L'un de mes films d'animation préféré. Quel plaisir de vous voir réagir à celui-ci 🔥👌

[@Power_trip397]

Ain’t no way this is y’all first time watching this epic movie also 😂😂 ya gonna love this one 👏🏽

[@RohanKumar-cp8wh]

love how you wrote gru and minions in the cast 😂😂

[@adamhughes8775]

Can’t wait for the rest of the series

[@coryholding232]

Yeah it was great seeing this in 3D right at the end where they were trying to stretch out to the screen

[@blue_hour_appeared]

I loved this reaction! I hope you’ll enjoy the sequels too, I know I’ll be looking forward to seeing your reactions to those as well. The second one is definitely one of my favorite movies in general.

[@patriciagerresheim2500]

I love the nod to Marcel Marceau in the shot of the Eiffel Tower. Co-Director Pierre Coffin voices Minions Tim, Bob, Mark, Phil, and Stuart, while Chris Renaud voices Dave and Jermaine Clement (Tamatoa in 'Moana') voices Jerry. The first Minions movie is about the Minions' search for a villain to work for, The second movie is 'Minions: The Rise of Gru'. I've seen the first, and it's pretty cute, but haven't gotten around to the second.

[@lumityforever]

Given the chance i would work for gru in a heart beat

[@robertpfeiff]

This hits differently after my kids have all grown up. Miss some of those moments fiercely.

[@4EVERWITHBTS]

Your reactions are so real 😭😭😭

[@ManLikeBetty]

More Tara please! Thanks!

[@lilagev3903]

Since I watched this movie I love the minions already, I have a lot of stuff related to minions huhuhu love your reaction

[@paul-juniorblack6151]

I'm still amazed with how well Tara hits that "ring the bell" note every time. I would watch these videos just for that to be honest

[@mimic1984]

Yes, the great franchise that created a surplus of memes!

[@mixtureman7046]

Greg is gonna make a great dad one day

[@zimbo65a]

this dynamic duo is soo authentic - I really trust them when they are laughing to show the world how much fun they have! Did I already say "really"? Amd the people pay them only 10.000 $ per month, that´s a shame! This is the greatest entertainment ever! Really! I´ve never had so much fun! Really!

[@amos4953]

I literally just started watching the second movie when I saw this

[@julieharden2433]

I just re-watched this the other day. Still such a great movie. I love the sequels as well.

[@Mosthero1]

Fun fact: gru’s name is actually Felonious Gru

[@edwarddavis596]

I saw this movie a bunch of times, and I still cry.

[@MrCOLBSTAH]

My memory seems to be the opposite. I have a nearly photographic long term memory, but nearly non existent short term memory. Maybe its just the adhd "gaming computer brain with 2gigs of RAM."
