‘Minions: The Rise of Gru’ Director on How Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee and the 1970s Influenced the Film

Carole Horst “Minions: The Rise of Gru” may be filled with familiar, uh, faces of the lovable yellow creatures, but it transports them back to the 1970s, when Gru (still voiced by Steve Carell) was a supervillian in training and the Minions were looking to fit into his burgeoning world.The latest installment of the popular franchise from Universal and Illumination was directed by Kyle Balda, himself a veteran of the world of the Minions and a child of the ’70s. The animation team had to distill tons of research of the colors, the music, the architecture, clothes and hairstyles of the mid-1970s for the film, which follows elementary school student Gru as he applies to join the Vicious 6, a team of supervillians, but of course, events, with the help of the Minions, go awry.

‘Minions: The Rise of Gru’ review: Adorable henchmen bring on the funny

Lightyear,” a film that sometimes falls into that old Pixar trap of being too smart for its own good.The Minions, on the flip side, are not Mensa candidates. They’re stooges.The story exists, for the most part, to put them into a bunch of silly situations.Kevin and Bob go full-on “Catch Me if You Can,” dress up as pilots and fly a commercial jet to California … with plenty of turbulence.They meet Master Chow (Michelle Yeoh), a San Fran acupuncturist who moonlights as a kung fu expert and teaches them her martial art — in “Rocky” training montage style. Dumb, dumb Otto, meanwhile, takes to the open road on a motorcycle and visits the World’s Biggest Banana.He’s also a hopeless romantic, and briefly falls in love with a rock with googly eyes glued on it.“Rise of Gru” is better than the previous Gru-less flick because the Minions make the most sense when serving a lame-o villain.

‘Minions: The Rise of Gru’ Review: The Twinkie-Shaped Horde Picks Sides in This Delightfully Silly Sequel

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticEvery entry in the “Despicable Me” franchise is technically a Minions movie, since one way or another, the adorable yellow buggers manage to steal the show. But the fun thing about 2015’s standalone prequel was just that: It allowed the Minions to stand alone, pairing them with someone other than Gru for a change.Gru’s great, but his bad-guy-gone-soft shtick is starting to get old.
