As the cute, yellow, gibberish-spouting creatures return in Minions & Monsters, the animator who voices them and has directed five of the films in the franchise will be taking your questions<\/p>\n
Bello! Next month sees the return of everyone\u2019s favourite small, cute, bright yellow blob assistants who spout international gibberish, as Minions & Monsters is released in time to clean up over the US Independence Day box office weekend.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the seventh instalment in the Despicable Me franchise and the third standalone outing for Kevin, Stuart, Bob et al. The series has so far earned \u00a312.3bn globally, of which box office accounts for about half (with merchandise sales slightly outstripping it, and DVD sales coming in at a mere $725m).<\/p>\n
Every time I work on a scene or I work on the overall movie, I had my kids unconsciously in mind. Is that going to please them? Is it going to be funny for them? And if it is funny for them, is it going to be funny for their friends and their friends\u2019 friends? I show them pretty much everything before it gets anywhere near the final cut so they also get to see all the sucky stuff I miserably fail on and the stuff I have doubts on.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it\u2019s meant to be provoking some kind of a comedic reaction and if it fails then you say: \u2018OK, back to the drawing board.\u2019<\/p>\n
