For some reason, I really like the first minions movie, despite finding the minions annoying in the main series. I watched it for the first time with my mum and when it got to the part where the king's guard threw off their helmets and revealed their luscious locks, we both laughed so hard we had to rewind the movie by about 5 minutes once we finally caught our breath. I think that’s all this movie really needs to be: dumb, nonsensical fun where you turn off your brain and just enjoy the stupidity. People always complain that Illumination movies are bad, but I think they’re the fast food of animation. And who doesn’t love a little fast food once in a while?

You brought up an interesting point that I always bring up to people when you said “And I know, it’s just a kids movie. But How To Train Your Dragon is a kids movie”. Having a younger target audience is not an excuse for your film to be unwatchable for other ages. There are so many movies that are entertaining for all ages. If a writer struggles to give a family movie an interesting plot, it’s not because making a movie for adults and kids is somehow ‘paradoxical’, it’s because the writer is lazy and not creative enough to come up with something good. Megamind was one of my favorite movies as a kid, and it remains like that when so many other childhood classics have gotten worse. One of my favorite movie critics gave the second Sonic movie a very high rating because “It’s nothing great, but it’s not trying to be. It’s a movie about Sonic, what do you expect? The plot is cliche and a lot of the jokes fall flat, but it’s a kids movie”. One of the greatest animated movies of all time is about a panda learning Kung Fu. Ridiculous, seemingly childish plots can have good writing.

[@TalentCaldwell]

All- well not all, but the majority of Pixar movies do this and the proof is in their continued success.

[@DumbxPuddles]

httyd had my mom and i BAWLING our eyes out in theaters while my little brother ate popcorn off the floor. Those movies are exceptional, and absolutely should be a standard that YES kids movies CAN have substance while being entertaining. Meanful movies can absolutely still be fun for kids

[@laurabunn2993]

And kids are so much smarter than we give them credit for. Kids deserve good movies too.

[@ernestomiloli8414]

The httyd movies are above average at best, average because they are far from original. The cliche "friendless loser outcast kid is all like, 'But guys what if being different is a good thing?' And Just like that racism is ended; the girl character spent her whole life training and being disciplined only for the main star to accidentally his way into being the main attraction and she has no choice to join him (or kiss him). Not to mention they're already very loose book adaptations of a much better, deep and original franchise. A truly next level kids movie is The Incredibles or any of the PG Studio Ghibli movies.

[@pallasydoor7116]

I could watch it. I think these comments about age demographics and being digestible for all ages is a certain group of people. I really enjoy bizarre niche accidental Tom foolery that causes unnecessary mistakes and just chaos. I can understand it gets annoying at some point but it’s to help turn your mind off when you don’t really want to always observe to much information. It’s a break. It doesn’t have to be perfect it’s just existing which is like a way to take mental pressures off. There is no real logic because there doesn’t have to be. That’s why older women, like grandma likes it. Life is hard why does every story need to keep the same strict route? There are people who unironically like them for that reason. It’s really snobby at some point to actually deem something childish when it’s really about personality and personal interest and just because I enjoyed the rambunctious stuff doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy the more serious movies with adult tones or dislike atla. If anything those are my favourite but I still understand why people love minions. It’s a breath of fresh air to just not take anything seriously at all.

9:03 there's actually a weird bit of history why Hershey's chocolate tastes... _like that_ During WW2 when rationing was going on, fresh milk became very expensive. Pasteurization wasn't a thing yet, so milk would spoil by the end of the day if it wasn't used up. Milton Hershey bought up this old milk and dehydrated it to a powder, both to make his milk chocolate cheaper to produce and to help out struggling dairy farms. This cheaper (and nastier) version of Hershey Chocolate was incorporated into the war rations of US soldiers, and because of how rare treats like that were on the war front, chocolate became a comfort item for them. When WW2 ended, returning soldiers were sad that chocolate back home just didnt taste the same as the stuff they had in the war. Hershey ended up keeping the war time recipe because it was popular with the former soldiers, and it has stuck ever since. Nowadays they use butryic acid for their ✨️signature✨️ flavor instead of powderized spoiled milk due to potential health concerns with the latter The More You Know 🌈🌟

7:11 I don't think you understand who their target audience is 😅

[@monkeymode5652]

In all honesty, this is probably my most favorite movie from this franchise. It's so increadibly dumb and stupid, it becomes great again somehow.

[@konrad1916]

But God has helped me to this very day; so I stand here and testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen- that the Messiah would suffer and, as the first to rise from the dead, would bring the message of light to his own people and to the Gentiles. Acts 26:22-23

Just to clarify, the villaincon being held in Orlando, FL is Illumination taking a dig at Disney.

My guy, you have not LIVED til you've watched the hot mess that is Thomas & The Magic Railroad...

[@josepharmstrong1788]

Beware, it had die hard fans that will die on the hill of it being the best movie ever made. I know as a die hard fan of Thomas the Tank Engine, and someone who agrees it’s a hot mess along the lines of Shark Tale.

These videos are 2 things 1) makes my day 2) EVERYTHING I want to say during the movie

[@Jarakin]

You know, they could have just skipped over it and not mentioned things. But no, they had to tacitly admit the Minions would have happily been goose stepping through Germany b

[@tirzahadcock2319]

You should review the 2007 classic Nancy Drew!!! You’d have a field day!

[@Leipajuusto-hj9ts]

This movie was first movie I saw in theaters

Great work Alex! now only 1 more movie to go!

9:40 George Lucas, M Night Shyamalan, Quentin Tarantino, Tim Burton, Peter Jackson, John Carpenter... Not to say tech crews for films don't deserve recognition (they deserve WAY more) but films take hundreds of people pitching in their part, and unlike everyone on tech crew who has a specific mechanical skill or knowledge to do their part the most effectively, putting yourself in the position of an entirely different person isn't easy, and just read up on what Jim Carrey went through with the Grinch to see how some actors go through hell dealing with makeup and costumes alone. They also do dozens if not HUNDREDS of takes and trust me in scenes where a character is falling or getting hurt in some way, the actor feels that the morning after. There's also a notorious amount of psychological stress in playing an especially intense character, or when you're a woman doing an intimate scene with a billion cameras on you, it's definitely not easy nor is it "the least work" in making film. I get it's a joke and artists and technicians deserve to be just as famous, but outside of particularly easy roles where an actor gets to just play themselves sitting down, playing a character is absolute hell a lot of the time. If actors didn't have the job that inherently demands people stare at their faces for several hours, then it wouldn't make sense for them to be so famous, but that's sort of how it works with people remembering a name. Long comment and I recognise this was literally like a three second joke, but as someone with experience, you'd be VERY wrong to think acting is the easiest part of filmmaking.

[@Aphelion.s_Abyss]

Literally never heard of the last two and I hate M Night Shymalan's stuff and I think Burton is kinda a loser and most of his stuff after 1999 (not all of it) is kinda shit. Bro should've stuck with his lil short films & stop motion tbh (I don't really remember why you're bringing them up I just like to talk about hating M. Night Shymalan as a bit bc of the The Last Airbender movie but I genuinely do thin Tim Burton's stuff kinda sucks now. Maybe it always has.)

[@JustCallMeKart]

@@Aphelion.s_Abyss Peter Jackson did lord of the rings and John Carpenter has been composing orchestral themes in film for decades. I was talking about famous people in film who weren't actors (or at least not known for acting).

[@Krafted_puppets]

Fun fact: So you know how in 13:19 they r getting chased and whatever. In between them escaping and this scene they get their flowers from a hospital where someone has died…… Super fun and family friendly (dies on the inside)

[@nointeraction-today]

I love how scarlet overkills flying machine Hase a huge exhaust in the back and still managed to go upwards instead of straight in to the wall.😂

[@breej1643]

As someone who used to live in Orlando, literally a 15min drive from Universal Studios, I can agree that that is indeed where the villains held their meetings. RIght inside the globe.

Nostalgia

[@byrontheusurper6505]

I saw this one in cinemas, but that was the last one I saw... I kinda wanna watch despicable me 3 and 4 tbh, totally missed those and I enjoyed the first two

[@DavidW.WardJR]

At least the next one is actually good, and a legit Despicable Me prequel

[@FLAPJACK-O_O]

15:45 my sister said “ when she dies.” And then it perfectly said “Me too :D”

[@laineywright2071]

The first movie: "The minions were created by Gru-" The minions movie: "Actually theyre ancient and he found them and *lore*" The rise of gru: "Help wanted poster." My conclusion: The minions movie proves theyre their own species and the ending of that one is sound, Gru kicks them out and figures he needs henchmen and uses a help wanted poster and theyre the only ones who actually want to help. He then clones them and makes more. Gru commited 9/11 and Vector grimwalker theory also.
