Minions! Tonight, we steal… the Moon!

[@catlover_15]

YEAHHH

[@AutumnCanvas]

WOOOOOO

[@pink-a-palouza7888]

BAAABOOO

[@nazbaluyot9245]

Wwhhhhhoooooooaaaaaaaa yeeaaaahhhh baby

[@daniexists6]

You take the moon, and you take the sun!

[@tessawidenhofer]

Fun fact: back in the day, my brother was OBSESSED with Despicable Me. My dad is pretty crafty, so he spent basically the whole summer and a large chunk of fall making him a homemade minion costume. Unfortunately, I guess not that many people saw the first film in theaters, so people had no idea what he was 😅

[@MEIMEII126]

😅

[@KTHR666]

😂

[@FigmentJedi]

I remember reading somewhere that the original backstory of the Minions before they made the Minions spinoff movie was that Gru made them by genetically altering boxes of Corn Pops cereal.

[@Maswartz226]

I prefer that over the "naturally inclined to serve the greatest evil" thing.

[@AbsolXGuardian]

Wait the backstory of unfortunate implications is a retcon? Why did they choose it after they became Illumination/Universal's money making cutesy mascots?

[@gracekim25]

Wait hold on where did you hear this?!😅

[@gracekim25]

@@Maswartz226I mean they’re more neutral than evil but like they’re literally called minions🤷‍♀️

[@LucasBradleylpbproductions6]

7:50 - Oddly enough, I actually ran into these Minions while attending a convention in Atlanta called MomoCon around that same year (2017). Turns out that I had met those Minions about a month before "Despicable Me 3" would get released in theaters. Also at some point, you should talk about all the multiple bootleg Minion costumes that you could find literally anywhere.

[@tfromcleveland3741]

7:09 that speech, best part of any of the films

[@mitchkat123]

I was at Universal Studios Japan with some friends and as we were exploring the shops, all of a sudden this loud disco music comes on. And out came four minions just dancing in the street 😂

[@NoahBonas]

Lol

[@kylekeller3398]

Do a costume evolution of my favorite Universal Studios character, Woody Woodpecker!

[@trickshot_katebishop7612]

Love Woody Woodpecker!

[@shinyagumon7015]

I like the Minion costumes, remind me of a modern version of the Disney "Big Heads" with their poseable arms instead of human arms. Also Dan what was that stary imagine in the montage? Is this Analog Horror Dan?

[@BlueLicCircus]

I worked at Minion Mayhem in USF back when I was in college. Part of the job was to stand at the ride exit over in the dance party for up to 45 minutes at a time. Usually we'd have one minion there for a meet and greet and one person in minion style clothes dancing when guests exited the ride... The song boogie fever went off every four minutes when the ride went out. Boogie fever, every four minutes... It's been years and sometimes I still hear it in my sleep.

[@bagofgroceries]

If you’re the dude who stood perfectly still, you made 10 year old me’s day. Thank y’all so much!

[@Ihartwalrusguy]

Surprised you haven’t Done a Woody Woodpecker costume evolution.

[@kylekeller3398]

I love Woody Woodpecker!

[@trickshot_katebishop7612]

I would love to see that!

[@Fighting.Flower]

Damn, he hitting EVER base now!

[@jonmcintyre1144]

4:35 I remember her. I know for a fact she’s more of a Shrek person

[@CommandBlockHeadedMan]

What's her name?

[@brianszabo3870]

Cool!!! I wish Disney & Universal fans, as well as Warner Bros., Paramount & other Film studio fans learned to love one another & get along.

[@JessicaKFox-fb7wj]

Don't forget to thank Dan Povenmire for creating the Minions! #iykyk #joke #iknowhedidnt #fishcontent

[@davidfc7136]

Seeing the first iteration of the minion costume made me spit my drink out, holy shit.

[@stephaniebrooks6312]

😂

[@user-RPBricks]

Dan I just saw beauty and the beast at holly wood studios and the enchantress was wearing a old Elsa wig combined with a prayer pan costume and has her trusty stage hands with a bed sheet with a teen behind it because the while the narrator teacups the story in 30 seconds. Some 38 year old man is suiting up in a beast mascot costume

[@BubblyDayz]

PLEASE tell me your going to meet minions on this upcoming florida trip 😂

[@DistoryDan]

I must.

[@beverlytalamayan2088]

You should!

[@brycevo]

Does Charlie the Theme Snark know you're covering Universal? 😂

[@idkany293]

Actually the creator of Despicable Me was Sergio Pablos (Who you may remember as the animator for Dr. Doppler from Treasure Planet and Tantor from Tarzan, as well as the creator of Klaus (2019))

[@Emthe30something]

Minion fever! Came out at a formative time of my life. That time might have been college. But dang it, I love a minion.

[@NathanSpies]

I cannot stand minions but I’ll make an exception just because it’s Disney Dan

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

The Universal Theme Parks are SSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than the Disney Theme Parks. THAT'S RIGHT, I LEGIT SAID THAT!

[@Pabj_Z]

Hi Dan, I really liked your video. I imagine what the megaminions mascots would be like for Despicable Me 4 LOL, I remember that in 2017 when Despicable Me 3 was being promoted, one day I went to a shopping center and took a photo with the 2 imprisoned minions.

[@gracekim25]

Yeah! It’s chuckle-vision illumination time 🥳

[@TramiNguyen-oi3kp]

I love these Minions costumes!

[@fabianaguilar5535]

Bro is giving out minion lore!

[@zekelinderman3970]

This video is MINIONASTIC!! I am a huge fan of the minions and anything from Illumination. Since May 2012, I have met many minions at Universal Studios Florida and Hollywood. Also, I am a personal friend of a minion named Bob who appears at a Halloween event at my local zoo. 🍌

[@iamchristian1129]

Can you do the Evolution of Disney Princesses video, from them being Damesl in Distress to independent Strong woman

[@bagofgroceries]

When Minion Mayhem opened, a costumed Minion just stood there pretending to be a statue, let us take a few photos, and then waves to us, and we took more photos! Made 10 year old me really happy!

[@elizabethharrison7306]

Minions Costumes Love my favorite one fan Big Universal studios Hollywood ⭐ 💖💖💖💖💖💖⭐️⭐️⭐️🗽🎶

[@jeniboyns]

Back in 2014 we did the Minion breakfast. We all had minion outfits on and my mum had made knitted bananas to give to the minions as gifts and they went wild over them 🤣. When they saw us again during the parade later in the day they made such a fuss over us. My niece and nephew had the best day.

[@RigoLeons]

Dan must meet the minions!!

[@trickshot_katebishop7612]

Lol “I don’t know why the minions are celebrating Easter, they are bizarrely christian” 🤣

[@alejandromfontanez]

Chuckle, king!!!! Now that’s GOOD!!!!

[@marklopez7775]

I don't always love every Universal theme park. The only thing that I always love about every Universal theme park is the Mardi Gras celebration that takes place only at Universal Studios Orlando Resort every year. Thanks for uploading this video, anyway, I guess. 🤷🤷‍♂️

[@romulogarcia1323]

Rip Alex Trebek 1940 - 2020 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@kathyfreebury5713]

Should have put "MONTAGE, MONTAGE, THIS IS A PARADE FLOAT MONTAGE" over the parade montage.

[@ratbones620]

Can’t believe I just saw the “I hate minions” girl in a Disney Dan video lol

[@hayleywaalen2612]

For me, The Minions look like Twinkies!

[@haileyhammond9216]

KING BOB! YEAHHHHHHHHHHH😂

[@lucascoleman5454]

Hey, Disney dan can you do a Video on the history er… Mascot history of Jollibee and his friends, Twirlie, Hetty, Yum, Popo, Ladymoo, Chickee, Mico, and champ, and Jollibee?

[@roodevonkilgore]

[@Stewartyap]

[@treykoyawena4443]

[@Edwenthewolfxx]

I went universal and they were promoting the second film and had the Photo Booth and the ride was fun

[@mayaharrison3138]

[@fabianaguilar5535]

You forgot minions in the song "happy"

[@maryanndickman9200]

[@theprodigiousspiderstarTM]

I really like the halloween minions the most i think out of the costumed minions or holiday themed ones

[@Super_Jaylen_Bros_305]

[@gracekim25]

Fun night tonight 😊

[@EthanHero-u6z]

WE NEED MEGA MINION COSTUMES

[@charityrochford2175]

Our most fun interaction with the minions was when our son wore a banana shirt! They chased him and tried to nibble on him, it was hilarious!

[@tophergoffor]

Cool

[@carrol0688]

The chuckle king 👑

[@coketheaveragefanner]

"minions aren't disney characters" disney dan -2023

[@NekodroTheYouTubeMan]

You know you're going to want to update this considering the fourth movie Especially with the super minions

[@FGTRTD96]

Love this ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@DiabloSandwich59]

4:18 I think I speak for everyone when I say that we want to see every one of these appearances so could there be potentially be a Part 2 video in the future? 5:16 Will this really get you demonetized or was this just sarcasm?

[@arthuramazons2406]

I really like the minions and Dispicable me

[@gracekim25]

Just a side note: you don’t have to be Christian to celebrate Easter given the Easter egg side of things. The minions probably aren’t religious 😂 it was a fun suggestion all the same though 🙂

[@JosephHerman-jz5uo]

4:37 idk why I laughed so hard

[@jacobryanhobbs3150]

please do a costume evaluation of power rangers and the loud house
